The tax man is very unforgiving...maybe even at fault!  I seem to
have given away a couple of hundred dollars because I was late
filing for the Homestead Rebate that would have been paid in
July of this year.  I was told by Trenton that they gave us the
usual extension of time...to January 15 or something like that,
and that anyone who filed later was out of luck.  Just to make
sure I would believe it, they cited a couple of legal cases that
had been decided in favor of the Div. of Taxation -- cases in 
which the taxpayer had filed late and was denied a rebate.  I
wonder if all this is posturing or is their position valid in
cases such as mine...I believe I did not receive the mailing
that provides the filing forms, and importantly, serves as a re-
minder to file.   I INVITE COMMENTS and/or COMMISERATION.
