I underpaid my taxes in 2009. My fault. I have arranged auto payments for the balance. Paid this years taxes of about $500 dollars and everything is ready to go. That's not the annoying part.

This week, I get another letter from the IRS to sign and return this voucher so they can finish processing my return and that I agree to all charges and penalties and I will not be able to contest anything in a tax court if I wished to. ANNOYING!

I've already signed the papers, agreed to payments, received confirmation on the acceptance of my offer. They have my prior signatures, my bank account info. They can proceed as agreed but I am not signing anything else for penalties and FUTURE charges, they may tack on later. My understanding of the IRS is, they don't NEED my signature to charge me penalties. I feel like they just want to tie my hands and that really pisses me off.

So thanks, I just needed to rant.
