PORT ANGELES — The Internal Revenue Service isn’t generally known for tracking down taxpayers it owes money to, but that’s exactly what it is doing — more than 95,000 of them nationwide.
Jutta Gebauer of Port Hadlock is one.
Or, was.
When Gebauer, a retiree, heard Thursday that the IRS couldn’t find her when they tried to deliver her 2005 tax return, she didn’t believe it.
“That’s more than weird,” she said.
She didn’t think she was owed anything, but she called the IRS and found that an address error on the envelope had kept her money from arriving at her home.
“A whopping $25,” she said with a laugh.
