LOL the irs says namedrive paid me $$$$$$

[biggedon]

apparently since i e-filed my return, those examiners at the irs don't have hard copies of 1099's to compare with these forms they send, claiming income discrepancies.

income "the man" said was reported to them from nd for 2007 - $582,986

if only....

but maybe before i fill out these forms and mail them back, i'll get another letter from the irs telling me to "disregard the previous letter".

I had this problem once with a previous employer (they sent out the previous years' numbers). I'd contact NameDrive ASAP about it - maybe it was a glitch on their end.

It's all fun and games until the tax liens are on your wages, property, and bank accounts. I wouldn't breath easy or find it funny until after it's taken care of.

These things can take on a life of their own and the IRS isn't exactly known for common sense and customer service - and certainly not a sense of humor.

I've been receiving quite a few phone calls from the IRS lately as well. On a first name basis with them. Apparently someone has been printing fake W-2s with my EIN number on them.

had the same thing happen to me. Ed and Neil were really helpfull. I mailed back the protest form and a week later I had the new adjusted IRS bill for a mere few hundred instead of the 70k+ they had said I owed. I just sent a check for the few hundred knowing you can't fight "the man" and win completely.

Here's the problem if you wait...

IF you owe them anything at all the interest and penalties compounds daily.

And, if the matter is not addressed, the IRS will assume that the information they have is correct and can make things exceptionally difficult on you including freezing your bank account and putting a lien on your property.

Personally, I would address the matter promptly.

Yes, cross your T's & dot your I's. You have to go through the motions.

Hi Doc

never intended on waiting

i just got the letter in the mail yesterday

brought my 2007 forms with me to work this morning so i can copy everything and mail the form back, hopefully before lunch....that's if no one here asks me to do any work!

it's no biggie....

i don't owe anything, a comma was put in the wrong place in the report which increased income amount, so it was just a typo error.

The IRS sent me a notice of audit in March 2008, just while I was getting the 2007 returns completed. They wait 11 damn months to send me an audit and 1 month before the following years returns are due? What a cheap shot.

It was a paper audit (soft audit). Fortunately, I keep good records. They were trying to say that I owed a little shy of $14K. Turns out when I reviewed everything the e-filing software did not submit a form required on some investments.

Ends up I owed them 28 cents.

Don't you just love getting those envelopes in the mail?

[Focus]

The IRS loves you.

NOTTTTT!
