funks 1 #1 November 3, 2004 thats what i have waiting for me at the post office Is that how they usually notify you of an audit? What the hell else could it be???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islandcool 0 #2 November 3, 2004 Remember all the lawns you cut for some extra cash when you were a kid? Well you didn't declare that income and it was taxable. After fines and interest you now owe $348,000.00 Visa and Master Card is accepted. Please mail payment back in enclosed envelope. Have a Great Day.

slug 1 #3 November 3, 2004 Hi Funks Don't sweat it unless you need to. They could just be asking you for a "clarification". We got a couple of those clarification letters a long time ago, worst case you got to pay with a little extra tacked on for loan shark interest and penalities. If your wrong the longer you mess with them the more you'll pay. Good luck R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usedtajump 1 #5 November 3, 2004 I got one about four years ago saying I'd overpaid my taxes by about $1100.00 and they sent me a refund. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpergirl 0 #6 November 4, 2004 Travis got a letter from the IRS a few months ago, but it wasn't a registered letter. They told him he owed over $800 after fines and late fees for not paying $200 back in 1994. Hopefully yours is better news. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #7 November 4, 2004 When I over paid one year, they just send out a refund check to me by regular mail.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

hookitt 1 #8 November 4, 2004 Funny how you can over pay year after year and are only given a couple years to claim it. But the statute of limitations to pay them money that's "owed" is timeless.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

jumpergirl 0 #9 November 4, 2004 Travis filed his taxes for last year and expected a return of about $800. Instead he got a letter saying he owed that money to the IRS and he was not getting his refund! Have a nice day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyD 0 #12 November 4, 2004 QuoteFunny how you can over pay year after year and are only given a couple years to claim it. But the statute of limitations to pay them money that's "owed" is timeless. Not exactly true. The statute of limitations is three years. Exceptions are: 1.) Fraud = no limitations 2.) omissions in excess of 25% of gross income = six years 3.) There is a laundry list of other stuff, but the first two are the highlights. Also, if you are due a refund, you have only three years to file and claim it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #16 November 4, 2004 YIKES...being audited sucks. I was sick the entire year that it took to get it settled. Paid a ton in freaking expensive tax lawyer and accountant fees only to be told (thankfully) that they finally understood. I guess better late than never, but geez. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randy_H 0 #17 November 4, 2004 make the audit as difficult as possible for them and maybe they will go away? Probably not, but good luck.010010010110010101100001011101000111000001110101011100110111001101111001 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #18 November 4, 2004 I got a letter like that several years ago, not from the IRS but from New York State. Seems my federal and state returns didn't jive, and I owed NY money with interest. Took them two years to find me, since I had moved from NY to Illinois in the interim. So of course they charged me lots of interest. I think the total was like 600 bucks. The next year they sent me a check for like 400 bones, said they were auditing thier records and found out I had overpaid something. Go figure, eh?
