Oh my.

Another day-brightener, a primitive with a problem.

IRS sent me a letter that I thought was going to be confirming my payment plan from a mistake* on my taxes from 2011. Instead the letter stated that since I didn't respond to their previous letters the new total of my tax bill has been increased due to penalties and interest. This was a mistake as I absolutely responded. I go to call the IRS to clean up the mess and wouldn't you know it, all IRS offices are closed thanks to republican's government shutdown. I have until the 4th of November to fix the problem before next round of interest and penalties are applied.
 
It's hard to address the issue when the office is ****ing closed! Thanks a lot repukes! You solidified your spot on the list!

*"mistake"--the primitive tried to get away with something, but didn't.

8. Four years ago I had a problem fiixed for my daughter. She owed them 2 thousand and she was on SSDI. They put the payments off for ten years or until she went back to work. This was without penalties or interest. I talked to a very nice, understanding, lady who went to her boss and told him the situation and he ok'd it. This took about 2 hours on the phone. But, it was worth it for her.

10. do you mean your daughter is in currently non-collectible status (CNC)?

CNC is only good for one year and interest and penalties still accrue. Each year she probably receives a cp71 letter that reminds her of this debt. IRS is just not actively pursuing collections activities. They would NEVER just put it off 10 years. Again, interest and penalties continue to accrue, although penalties max out at a certain point. If you don't believe me, have your daughter call IRS after the Gov't reopens.

2. I'd go in person....if I were you

Depending on your situation, you might also want to get a tax attorney to represent you. Good luck.

4. Can't. All Taxpayer Assistance Offices are closed as well.......

Also, usually only the 1% can afford a real Tax Attorney....that's why the IRS used to make it a point to only come after us little people, because we couldn't afford to pay a Tax Attorney who could slow things down, perhaps for years.

^^^It sounds like the Little Debbie primitive tried to pull something too, and didn't get away with it.

I dunno if it's true any more or not, but generally the Internal Revenue Service didn't go after the small cheats, because it wasn't cost-effective.  The big cheats were more profitable.

Again, I dunno if that's true any more, but it used to be true.

But if it's not true, and they go after the little guys now, franksolich recommends the IRS take a look at the primitives in the eBay forum on Skins's island.....

11. Ed, sounds like you received a CP2000 notice from the AUR dept of the IRS

When did you send in your original response? Did you agree or disagree with the proposed assessment? Or partial disagree? Usually it can take up to 60 days for the IRS to review your original response... if we got it.... If it has been more than 60 days and you submitted a disagree or partial disagree response you must include with your new response documentation to support your numbers.

If it's been going on long enough that they've given him a dated ultimatum, doesn't that indicate there was plenty of time before this to communicate? And I thought the collection division was still open. That's a separate phone number, I think. Why not look up the number on the website. I'd think it would be on the letter they sent.

Yeah, there was an article in the newspapers a week or so ago, about that while the refunds part of the IRS was shut down, the collections part was still very much open, running, in operation.

What the DUmmies need to do is shut up and pay them what they want.  This is their government and government can't be wrong.

WHAT? A DUmmie doesn't want to pay his fair share?

I think demosincebirth was caught in a lie.  She wanted to portray our benevolent IRS as kind, caring, generous, and understanding, just like a good little statist would.  This taxman dude is apparently from the IRS, and he blew her lie wide open.

Yeah, in the off-chance you might actually find someone desperate enough to sleep with you.

Well, DUmmie Ed, if you had been a little more patriotic and on the ball in 2012, you might not have found yourself in such a pickle. 

Just like your greedy pig reps and senators in DC, you have no one but yourself to blame for your misery.

They put the payments off for ten years or until she went back to work.  Until she goes back to work.  What a knee slapper.

Since I make some of my living delivering mail, I can say this --

With the amount of certified mail (as well as 1st class mail, often sent on the same day as the certified letter(s) ), it is likely this primitive waited until the last minute to attempt to correct this problem, and is now using the shutdown as a crutch.

The IRS will hound a delinquent for YEARS if they feel its necessary. Even one that has been dead for at least a decade that I am aware of. Once a quarter the deceased gets a letter that I send right back - like clockwork.
