Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Use of Account 20X1807--Refund of Moneys Erroneously Received and Covered

B-184479 Jan 02, 1976

Highlights

A decision was requested as to whether the account 20X1807 (Refunds of Moneys Erroneously Received and Covered) could be used to pay the refund by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of a fine paid pursuant to a conviction for violation of wagering tax statutes. This refund was ordered in connection with subsequent vacation of the judgment. The refund should be charged against account 20X0903 (Refunding Internal Revenue Collections) rather than account 20X1807 since initial receipt of the fine by IRS was apparently treated as internal revenue collection. Account 10X1807 is available only when the refund is not properly chargeable to any other appropriation.
