Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Pay up comrades, the state doesn’t make mistakes.
Try telling the IRS that YOU need several months to “straighten it out.”
It’s not just Colorado. This happened to me—the IRS cashed a check in December but didn’t credit it until the beginning of this month.
I had a tax matter that needed resolution by X date. The CPA compiled all the documents. The IRS doesn’t accept electronic submissions, so the CPA had to fax the documents. Fax wouldn’t go through. Finally got the revenue agent on the phone who told him “oh, there is nobody at the office, the fax machine has run out of paper”. Had to hire a courier to deliver the documents to the agents home.
The revenuemen have guns and the power of government to use deadly force if you don’t comply.
Of course the people are scared.
But they’ll get running the entire medical care system right.... Did the accountants ask the party affiliation?
I got a letter too saying I still owed money. $200. No one said why or how and if I want to challenge it go ahead. They know it will cost way more in time and effort so I just mailed a check, A den of vipers and tyrants.
We showed them the SSN of the recipient and it still took 6 months and repeated demands from us for them to resolve.
It is clear this was an insider scam, because there was no other way for them to make this mistake.
I live in Texas and my last 3 payments to the IRS have not been posted. Now it says I face penalties and interest. They can GF themselves.
I dare the MF’ers to darken my doorstep.
With the irs you have no rights. It is this way so as to keep the sheep in a constant state of fear. More easily controlled that way.
Did they have an amount due on these letters? Seems like that is missing.
Well, yeah. But since my check (with my SSN) is always sent in with the payment slip (with my SSN) how do they manage to screw this up?
Didn't scare me, because I couldn't have paid them anyway, but it sure peeved me to no end.
The Clintoons and Obamazork did this.
I had relatives and friends who were pounded by the IRS until we elected Trump as president.
Our great female conservative acct. (no longer with us) had some simple advice:
1. Never cheat nor lie.
2. Have several legitimate, but unclaimed deductions and during your interview, keep saying, “Excuse me is this a deduction, I forgot to enter it.” The IRS office auditors are on a strict time limit. They hate this action.
3. To make it even more effective have more than one year of
undeclared deductions with you. I have a few hundred $’s for several years.
CBS cannot stop their Commie whining........
“...like archaic computer systems, slashed budgets and understaffing that are now causing consequences for taxpayers.”
Sniff. IRS budget is $12B dollars.

Flat tax. Low taxes solve this.
Does anyone have sympathy for FedGov?
A former employer sent a duplicate 1099 to the IRS in December 2019, so the IRS sent me a demand letter for $15K in extra taxes and penalties in Feb 2020. I had the employer send them a corrected 1099 in March, but didn’t get the “oops, never mind” letter until Nov 2020.
The incompetence is not a ‘bug’, it’s a ‘feature’...
The enclosed check was cashed within a week. That summer I got a letter my tax return was overdue so I sent in a copy.
A month ago I got another similar letter. Sent in another copy. When I check my tax status online, they still have not been processed even though it shows my payment made.
The IRS is incompetent. And excessive if not unconstitutional.
So no government workers worked during Covid?
For almost a quarter century now I’ve been saying if Timothy McVey and his Iraqi buddy had blown up the IRS offices in DC America would be celebrating April 19th as Patriot’s Day again and forever.
Never forget, when you take the space out of the phrase “The IRS” it tells you exactly how our government thinks and acts about you, your earnings and your property.
