iegfried Meinstein discovered that he was dead in April. He seems to be handling the news well.
It isnt really a problem in my daily life, he said, sitting at a table in his Upper Arlington assisted-living facility. Everybody accepts my money.
This probably requires a little more explanation, so here it is: The Internal Revenue Service thinks 94-year-old Meinstein bought the farm, bit the big one, took a permanent vacation.
And despite his familys best efforts, the IRS hasnt changed its mind.
If they keep insisting, what is it you say? Ron Meinstein asked his dad. Eventually, theyll be right?
The debate over Meinsteins existence began when an accountant attempted to file the elder Meinsteins taxes online in April. The return was denied. The Social Security Administration had listed the filer as dead, the IRS said.
Meanwhile, they just got another letter from the IRS. It wanted to know why Siegfried Meinstein has a credit balance of $14,000 in taxes he prepaid for 2014.
And why the IRS cant find his return.

In before the “Bring Out Your Dead” references.
If you somehow get declared dead, does that mean you don’t have to pay taxes anymore?
If the taxman killed me, I’d stay dead.
Abolish the IRS
in before “government knows your health better than you do “ crowd bitching strongly here today.
I’m sure he is old enough to be familiar with and understand the “Catch 22” syndrome. I think there was a Twilight Zone episode of something similar.
That’s what it would mean to me.
At 94 he should have figured out how to underpay those gov’t thieves.
Let them send you the bill.
Which side?
If he really wants to solve the problem, he needs to quit wasting his time with the IRS and write his congressperson and senators. THEY can get the attention of the agency.
There was a local story of someone being declared dead and not receiving their Social Security checks anymore and after getting nowhere with the social security office, he went to the local tv station and they got it straightened out for him.
If Siegie sticks around long enough, he’ll qualify for WW III benefits.
Amazon how many stupid people the IRS has.
After I dropped dead from cardiac arrest, was revived and spent 16 days in the hospital, one clown from my mortgage company wanted to know why I was later in paying my monthly mortgage (I croaked on the 11th; payment due by the 15th while I was still in my second coma).
When I told him that I was both dead and in a couple comas and couldn’t write a check, it didn’t register on his peabrain.
I told him that I would eventually send a check when I was able to write it and to fuck off in the meanwhile.
No problems after that.
Problem is for this guy the IRS owes him $14K.
He should try not filing a tax return this year. The IRS will resurrect him in a hurry.
Heck, check His SS# I’ll bet Ya find the zer0 is using it...
Well, if the IRS says he’s dead, I guess he’ll be voting democrat.
