Question: I have questions about state tax overpayments. I am a preparer who does GET and individual taxes for clients. The only overpayment that is automatically refunded to the taxpayer is the individual tax on a yearly return. Please help me understand why the state does not issue an automatic refund when a taxpayer overpays their GET tax. The tax office, also, does not include the credit on the subsequent required filing, but, rather, the credit for overpayment sits in the taxpayer’s account. This is ridiculous and unacceptable! What gives the state the right to do this? How do we as taxpayers correct this issue?
