Susan Cincotta of Shelter Island recieved a grant and rebate for a septic system in 2018, which she paid income tax on. But the IRS reversed its decision, when Cincotta filed her returns this year, rejecting giving her the money back because the septic system was installed outside the statute of limitations.
