(January 3, 2009)--Detroit defense attorney James Howarth received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service in November saying the government was due 5 cents.

The Detroit Free Press reported Saturday that that Howarth was notified to pay "to avoid additional penalty and/or interest."

Howarth said a second letter told him he's due four cents, but he would have to request the refund because it’s less than $1.

Howarth aid he's not sure whether there is connection between the nickel bill and the 4-cent refund.

He's also not sure if he now owes the government a penny or if he's benefiting from a 9-cent swing.

IRS spokesman Luis D. Garcia says the agency doesn't comment on individual accounts.
