Rooster VS. IRS
A while back I was groanin' and moanin' about taxes. If you care, you can read the post here.
I fought the battle, sent in the paperwork saying "You're stupid, I don't owe you nuthin'!" Well, that's what it said when you read between the numbers and documents of why I firmly believed I didn't owe the $199 they were saying I did.
I got a letter about a week ago saying "we have received your paperwork and it is being reviewed. We will contact you within 45 days with a resolution. We highly advice that you pay the amount owed and if we determine that the amount owed is valid, you will be charged additional interest."
With that said, I thought to myself "they can stick up their ___!", so I didn't send anything.
Amazingly, I heard back from them today. I didn't know they could function that quick. I've spent more time on hold over the phone with them in the past.
I was expecting "the charges are valid, here's the additional interest charged, send us a check".
Nope.
"We are happy to let you know that after reviewing your documents that we have determined we were incorrect in saying you still owe money for the 2005 tax year. This account has been closed upon your request."
WHOA!!! Did I just battle the IRS and win?! Yes, yes I did. Amazing.
