>things are that bad with the IRS now? Now?
The one time I was on a payment plan for taxes (12+ years ago) the IRS repeatedly misapplied my payments. That's *with* my SSN, phone number, DOB etc. on the checks and with the IRS payment coupon attached. FUCKING.OLD.SCHOOL. I would call them with cancelled checks in hand as proof that they'd been cashed by the agency. The best part was that after each misapplication, I'd get a letter stating that I had 1) failed to pay on time, 2) that penalties would be assessed and that 3) I was in danger of losing the privilege of making payments over time. After lengthy conversations with both the IRS and with a tax attorney, it was deemed "best" if I simply paid the penalties that the IRS assessed and then after I was finished with my payment plan, I could ask for my money back. Two years after the IRS agreed that I should be repaid the incorrectly assessed fees--and three years since I had cleared the debt--I received a check for approximately 2/3 of the money they owed me. But they got EVERY DIME I owed them. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:346823 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
