So yes they have a son, age 14 and my cousin has two daughters from his first marrage both "grown" . Was told she has had problems with her asthma, drinking and drugs it's been a long day. Thanks for the condolences. Not very close to my cousin but glad I got to give him a hug.

Weird. We efile the Fed taxes 'cause it is free with TurboTax. Costs for the state so we send that USPS.


Are you going to refile last year's taxes? You would get money back.

We discussed it with the new tax guy. We have the option to refile and he’s happy to do it for us but he wanted us to know that it sends up lots of red flags to refile for that. We’d likely be audited. Not that we have anything to hide but that just sounds stressful and we opted to just move forward.

IRS=GESTAPO

Coffee is on... going to get some things cleaned up outside.

Yeah it is. And depending on how much you would get back, the CPA might take most or all of it (plus more) to go to the audit with you.

Worse than an audit is when THEY screw up and one branch doesn't talk to the other. Way back when you could file computer generated "data" sheets that they typed in (I guess) something got put on the wrong line on their end. Year or so later they came after us for the money we (didn't) owe them. Easy to prove, they just had to pull out the original paperwork. Got it straighten out with the contact people but it took FOREVER to get to the collections/dunning arm of the IRS to get it. Got to the point they were talking about putting a lien on our house and garnishing wages. DW nearly went crazy from the stress. We'd get a letter, I'd call the contact, they'd say it would be taken care of. Took 3 months. Because THEY screwed up. Should have put a lien on THEIR property or at least gotten a 10% reduction on taxes for a few years.

Been there - done that! Because of THEIR mistake they insisted we pay additional taxes. Talked to one person and they acknowledged we didn't actually owe the money - but the other person insisted we pay it anyway and we would be refunded when it was all straightened out. HUH? I hounded them every day to get my money back. It was resolved but I wrote them a nasty letter pointing out that I paid the non-owed taxes in a timely manner and they should have been more timely refunding the money that they never should have gotten anyway. Sigh....

I've had issues with them several times and have received letters from just about every regional office they have.....had a lady from Birmingham, AL tell us that none of their computers have the same date or time on them and there isn't any communication between the offices....it all relies on what the computer says.....I went to an office and asked some questions.....they called the local law and had me escorted from the building.....I laughed all the way to the car....when we got past the BS, I wondered if we'd ever get out of that "sticky web".....I was surprised nothing came up with them while buying the house.....tho, all of that took place well over their 7yr period.....so hopefully, that monster is in the dust....

Most alphabet type agencies have become self perpetuating, ever growing entities all unto themselves and no long serve the public but serve themselves.

For the past few years we have tried to e-file. But each time we did that, we'd get an email stating that it was "rejected" and asked that we check our info (DOB, SSN) to make sure it's correct. I checked all of that nothing was incorrect. So I just mail them.
