bill loveless: i came to the lord at the age of about 42. dr. charles stanley has been so important in my life, just his teachings. one of the life principles is that brokenness is a requirement for god to use you greatly, is when you can become that conduit of what god wants to do through you to get to other people. it's just amazing of what god can do with you. >> 5.44 and for your money. this is the strangest thing ever heard. the don't rush to file your taxes. that's what

the irs is saying to people in a who got a middle class tax refund kron four's justine waltman explains why. when gas prices and inflation hit a high. >> the state of california gave out millions of middle class tax refund checks. those payments ranging anywhere from 200 to more than $1000 are now making filing taxes murky. it's actually a bit of a misnomer to call it a tax refund. it really is a payment. caroline chen is a tax professor at san jose state university. >> she says the federal government could view the middle class tax refund as taxable income and as it decides what to do, the irs is asking people to hold off on filing their taxes following the recommendation means avoiding having to amend a return. so less paperwork and less time with your accountant, the electronic nightmare of your internet

going down. and you know, that really got filed or not filed a few very close to the deadline. >> yeah, all sorts of that type of panic couldn't sit. the irs says it is working with 19 states in this predicament to provide additional information and clarity as soon as possible. but unfortunately, i don't really have a prediction on what they're going to do. it. california storm victims now have until may 15th to file and make tax payments. a typical person has to file by april 18th this year in the newsroom. i'm justine waldman. kron. 4 news, justine, thank you very much at 5.46, one lucky winner in washington state just scored that 747 million dollar jackpot. >> but an even bigger winner in california is still out there because it's been 3 months since lottery officials say that that ticket was worth over 2 billion dollars was sold in altadena. that's a city down near la officials have yet to confirm that winter has claimed the prize.
