I went round and round with them in the 80's, when they said I owed another $300. They finally wore me down, because I didn't want to reopen may last 30 years returns, and paid the $300.
Three years later I got a letter saying I didn't owe the $300, it wasn't my fault...... but it wasn't their fault. WTF? So the letter said just fill out my choice of the four half page forms enclosed, and they would give me the $300plus interest.
The four forms were slightly different, but they were all basicly confessions to my error with four different excuses. Grrrrr.
So I send back the four forms unsigned, and a letter telling them to stick the four forms and the $300 up their collective asses.
Couple weeks later I get a check for $400 and a letter telling how the calculated the interest with a table showing the interest rate for each six month period.
Chris, can't you call the IRS and tell them you
are Dad?
