I'm  an accountant and a tax preparer and  I would like  the media to dicuss the conseqences of last year's stimulus fund on taxpaayer this year.  Most taxpayer who received the  stimulus has a dollar for dollar reduction on their tax refund. eg if a family received  1500  and  their tax refund is 2500 before imputting their stimulus , after reporting the stmulus they will only received only 1000 refund this  year.  No one is talking about it.  It is a disgrace how the government is treating taxpayers.  tell it to the media. Thanks.  Corine in Brooklyn.
