Pay them and file an amended return by mail to get your money back.
“Pay them and file an amended return by mail”
That’s what we are doing. But it dawned on me this afternoon that we will have to submit TWO amended returns to clear it up. Here’s why.
We just wrote them a check for $1,000 which effectively means our charitable contributions were zero. Amended return #1 will remove / cancel our charitable contributions.
But we DID make those charitable contributions. So we have to file Amended return #2 to then add the charitable contributions back in.
This is going to be absolutely nuts and confuse the heck out of everybody. We need to talk to a person to clear it up, but you cannot get to a human being.
