IRS looking to deliver refunds
ATLANTA lf you are a Georgia
resident who never received your
1990 federal tax refund, the Internal'
Revenue Service is inviting you to
step forward. The annual search for
owners of unclaimed refunds is begin
ning now.
“When a refund is returned by the
Postal Service, the IRS attempts to
find the taxpayer, but there are al
ways those who cannot be located,”
said Paul Williams, IRS District Di
rector for Georgia.
“If the handwriting is illegible or
the name and address on the return is
incorrect, the refund may have been
mailed to the wrong address.”
There were 1,556 refund checks re
turned by the Postal Service as unde
liverable in Georgia, ranging from as
little as one dollar to as much as
$18,444 and totalling nearly $654,000.
Some of these refunds are for years
prior to 1990.
The most common reason refund
checks cannot be delivered is that tax
payers move after filing their return
and do not give the IRS or the Post
Office a forwarding address. Taxpay
ers who change their names for any
reason should also notify the IRS.
According to Williams, taxpayers
may claim an undelivered refund by
establishing their identity and their
right to receive a refund check. This
can be don by addressing a letter to
the IRS, Atlanta Service Center, Re
fund Inquiry Unit, Stop 112, Atlanta,
Georgia 39901 with the following
information:
• Name and address exactly as
shown on the tax return
• Present name and address is dif
ferent from that shown on the return
• Tax year for which refund is be
lieved due
• Social Security Number or num
bers if the return is joint
• Amount of refund claimed
• Signature (not printed)
To eliminate the possibility of a lost,
stolen or undeliverable refund check,
taxpayers can file electronically and
have their refunds deposited into
their checking or savings accounts.

Illegal alcohol, beer sales spur
marshall to call for a workshop
By Kara Sproles
Staff Writer
Forsyth County Marshall John Picklesheimer has decided to clear
up misconceptions local stores may have which surround the county’s
alcoholic beverage code.
“We want to make sure they’re informed,” the marshall said.
On Jam 22 at 10 a.m. in the county courthouse, store managers and
other personnel will gather for an informal question and answer ses
sion on the county’s lengthy Beer and Wine Ordinance.
The county attorney will also be on hand to help clear things up,
Pickelsimer stated in a letter sent last week to all the local stores.
Six stores in the county were recently cited for violating the seven
section code during the holiday season. Picklesheimer said. Investiga
tions are still continuing.
Picklesheimer is hoping store managers or even representatives
from the chain’s district levels will attend the session in the Jury
Assembly room.
“Anything they may have doubts on we want to be able to answer for
them,” the marshall said.
Hundreds of U.S. Army Europe
soldiers deployed from their home
stations in Germany to the sands of
Saudi Arabia in late September.
And, it is in Saudi that most ofthem
celebrated the holiday season.
Private First Class Shannon C.
McCracken of Cumming and Col
lege Park, Ga., packed up and
moved from the cool green coun
tryside of Europe and hit the hot
sands of Saudi ready to train and
perform 24 hour a day operations.
The Tri-cities High School gradu
ate is a Launcher Crew Member
assigned to Task Force Patriot as
part of Operation determined
Resolve.
The 94th Air Defense Artillery
(Patriot) Brigade’s extraordinary
accomplishments during the rapid
deployment were personally rec
ognized by General Crosbie E.
Saint, Commander in Chief of the
Army forces in Europe, who sent
the Brigade a congratulatory
letter.
McCracken, like many of the sol
diers who deployed on short no
tice, said he felt good about his
contributions to the units’ mission.
“I feel proud to serve in the United
States Army,” he said.
“The thing I miss most about
back home is home cooking, my
family, and friends.” He is the son
of Arthur and Linda McCracken.
