Carter says the IRS is currently claiming he owes $890,000, a figure that “doubled with the stroke of a pen.”

Always get the FULL name of anyone you speak to at the IRS.

I had to call several times a couple years ago, when they claimed that we owed an additional $250,000 in taxes, and each time I called, I spoke with different women, all of whom identified themselves as “Mrs. Knox”. I believe they do not give their actual names out when you talk to them on the phone.

“Always get the FULL name of anyone you speak to at the IRS.”...

Doesn't work, I tried that. They will give you a false name anyway and if you ask to speak to their “supervisor” they will give you a coworker who surprisingly sides with what the first one said so asking for a name is useless.

Trying to get any solid information from the IRS is usually a waste of your time. They themselves do no know the laws they are supposedly following. Many of them are idiots affirmative action workers.

And their location; you may want to pay them a visit later...
