WTOP hits with a little whoopsie moment over at the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.

D.C.’s Office of Tax and Revenue has mistakenly sent refund checks to residents who actually owe taxes. In one case, a resident received a check for $2,886 — the exact amount he owed.

The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, received the check in early June and returned it with a letter alerting the chief financial officer to the error.

“We don’t believe this is widespread.”

Natalie Wilson, a spokesperson for the Office of Tax and Revenue, says there was a “processing error” which is now being investigated.

Those GD processing errors!  We seem to get them all the time over here.

In fact, one of our staffers…we’ll call him “Fred”… is currently registered as a sex offender for a processing error he had with his computer, a bag of booze, and an online chat session with a police officer disguised as a 13 year-old Asian boy.

Let’s be honest here, the only processing error in both these cases is a mental one.
