I think I am going to be sick.
I just confirmed with my CPA that in fact, what this means is the we will get back ONLY what was withheld by the government, not the full amount of the surgery. In fact, it is a fraction of the total cost of the surgery, and net even enough to cover the loan we took out to pay for part of it. I am glad to be getting something back, rather than nothing, but going from thinking I was going to be getting it all back to this? Well, I feel like I want to puke.
