Irs

I got a letter from the IRS today, which is never a good thing. They want $800 and something dollars because my income was under reported in 2008. ???????

I need to find my accountant, whoi is probably on vacation. I will have to pay it out. That's a lot of $!!!

I really could just send in the form to make a payment plan. I doubt that they made a mistake, but I have to dig around for the accountant to be sure. What a waste of time.

I don't want to pay them $800!!!

I wouldn't pay them anything until you get in touch with your accountant Judy. They could have made a mistake. I would let your accountant look over your 2008 return to make sure first. That is alot of money.

I'm with Paula on this one Judy. I wouldn't pay it either until it all checked out out.

Please double check before turning anything in. If there's a dateline I believe you can call and change it. I hope it was an oopsy

I'm faxing it to him this morning.

Judy, I used to hate that IRS on the envelope too - it was never anything good. But then my husband went to work for them in 1987 (he was in security and construction, NOT taxes) and so I had to get used to getting mail from them all the time. All employees are audited every year, so your taxes had to be perfect. He worked there 15 years and we didn't have any tax "oops".

Hopefully, something is just recorded on the wrong line or added incorrectly. I sure hope you don't have to pay $800. If you do, just set up a payment plan and get it over with. I bet your accountant can figure out the mistake (on their part!)
