H-E-B sues IRS

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- H-E-B Food Stores has filed a federal lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service claiming the grocery company is owed an overdue tax refund of $1.3 million.

H-E-B filed the lawsuit Wednesday claiming it overpaid its 1991 and 1992 taxes. The lawsuit seeks the refund along with interest and costs under the Internal Revenue Code.

H-E-B contends it filed timely income tax returns and paid almost $19.4 million for the 1991 tax year and $25.3 million for 1992.

The grocery company said it then made four more payments to the IRS that totaled $1.87 million for 1991 and $679,441 for 1992 after the IRS examined the returns and asked the company to make "adjustments."

However, H-E-B claims it overpaid.

Last June, the grocery company filed claims seeking a refund for the two tax years, but the IRS dismissed those claims, according to the lawsuit. The company asked again for the refund in March, but the IRS has not responded.

H-E-B Food Stores is based in San Antonio. It operates grocery stores throughout Central and South Texas.
