As an ADDENDUM to the story:
I filled out my taxes and sent them a check for the $12,000 plus some added taxes, and at the very end of the form, I discovered the clause that says if you have to pay more than $1000 in ‘taxes’ owed, you have to fill out this other form that would determine if you have to PAY A FINE ON TOP OF THE ‘TAXES’ YOU ARE PAYING, and submit a letter that explains why you didn’t PAY ENOUGH DURING THE YEAR, and ask for the FINE to be ‘FORGIVEN’ (pleading for mercy before the KING).
I’m still waiting for a letter from the IRS to tell me if I am to SEND THEM MORE MONEY!!!!!!..................................
That is revolution level abuse.
