- 139 - Dear Ken: The following are my calculations of the refund due the Thompsons: 1980 Deficiency: $15,000 Interest on Deficiency: 15,300 $30,300 (To 12-31-86) 1981 Deficiency: $15,000 Interest on Deficiency 12,150 27,150 Total Tax and Interest due to 12-31-86 $57,150 Amount Paid 12-31-86 ($25,545 plus $34,269) $59,814 Overpayment as of 12-31-86 2,664 Additional amount paid on account 6-11-87 63,000 TOTAL OVERPAYMENT DUE TAXPAYER $65,664 Please calculate the interest due on the overpayment and arrange to refund the balance due them (less the $30,000 recently received). Thanks for your cooperation. On October 3, 1989, Mr. DeCastro sent the Thompsons a letter reporting that Mr. McWade had confirmed that they were due a large refund, plus interest, which would not be refunded until the Court issued its opinion in the test cases. Mr. DeCastro advised the Thompsons that, because the Internal Revenue Service would be paying interest, he believed it was fair to add interest to the Thompsons' bill. On or about November 6, 1989, Mr. McWade received an undated letter from Mr. Thompson which stated in pertinent part as follows:Page: Previous 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 Next
