Yet another example of the selective enforcement of laws and the government’s new tendency to come down hard on law-abiding citizens for minor infractions while letting the true criminals skate.
I got a tax filing extension this year and paid the IRS, as required by law, on 4/15. Since I am self-employed, I could not figure my tax to the penny until my return was complete. Therefore, on 10/15 I filed my full return and sent them a check for $555 to cover my extra taxes and penalties.
The IRS cashed the check a month ago but continues to charge me interest on money THAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID. I called them and was told that they will not recalculate the interest and that there is nothing I can do to get my money back. Oh, well, should have told them that I am an illegal alien doing the jobs Americans won’t do. (Notice that we don’t hear that phrase anymore as unemployment rises?)
The law-abiding people of this country must take back their government from the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, it seems to me.

I have been self- employed for over 35 years. I always managed to get my return done for the April 15 filing date.
Don’t know what kind of work you do that you need the extra 6 months...
But- are you preparing your taxes on your own with the computer (games) stuff? Or do you have a tax accountant?
If you have a copy of the cancelled check- take it-—not the original, along with a letter from your bank that states what you paid and when. You will have to take this to the local IRS office, IMO, as the telephone twits have no authority.
Do not let them get away with anything.
