Years and years ago I had a 'mail audit' by the IRS. They sent a letter saying I owed like $120(?) due to math error. The even pointed out the line number where I 'goofed.'

Well I dug out my return, found the error and yep, they were correct. BUT I also found I overlooked taking an allowed deduction and after everything, they owed me like a $220(?) refund. So I wrote back THANKING them for finding my error and to please send me my $220 refund.

HA! They disallowed my LEGAL deduction and now wanted like $160.00(?). I sent the check the next day.

I LOVE the IRS (really, I do, honest).

I take it you filed an amended form once you found you missed an additional deduction. If it was legal why did you write the check? Did you have some prior tax returns you were afraid they might go back and audit?
