There we go again. The IRS buffoons harassing the jobs creators instead of concentrating on servicing their customers and promoting customer satisfaction. They are wasting my tax dollars, creating unnecessary expense for the jobs creators, as well as discriminating against them, and challenging the excellent work of their tax experts. Looks like we are ripe for another "reform" of the IRS, lets get some Republican congressmen on board. Everyone should pay their fair share, make just one tax rate for all. 

The IRS is only a government agency; it runs on rules and regulations. Their computer is geared to flag returns that just don't juive. But the problem is, the agency still needs leg work to get the job done. This is where it has its bigest problems--someone has entered the wrong information in the computer--with excessive penalties and interest.  Remember, the buden of proof is on you. It is up to you, to streighten the mess out !  As the  Penalties and interest, keep on going up and up! This happened with two corporations I once established and controled.  We were making our quarterly payments to the IRS regularly as reguired--and then paying the balance owed at the end of the year. Everything was going fine, until we received a notifacation the IRS haden't received any quarterly filing for the year.  It was now November, and end of the year was comming up fast.  He had to streighten this out fast!.  My in house accountant pulled up our quarterly filingss, and they showed our payments had been made--but like I said--it is up to the taxpayer to solve these mysteies, not the IRS.  We contacted the 800 number attached.  [A] Mis so-in-so listed as contact--told us to wait for her to get back to us. In the mean time, we started getting our quarterly check back from the IRS, but they were now their checks, not our original checks, but the amounts were correct, which was fine.  My accountent called the lady we had been dealing with at the IRS, and her advise was to cash the checks and hold them in our bank accout, until she steirghtened out this mess... WRONG!  I had my accountant put them in our safe, until we, trusting the the IRS figured out what had happened and what to do?  We waited until thew end of the year not knowing if we should close out the year, or not.  I had to do something, I couldn't wait any longer. We filed our return,, but didn't send any money, since they only sent it back in the past.  While waiting for the IRS get back to us--this went on until February, the net year, when our quarterlies were comming due again. We finally found out the lady who was handling our case, had quit.  All the files she had been working on, were strun out on her desk and no one had touched themin months.  The next theng we know, IRS agents come to our door, in force; demanding their money, some 100,000 dollars... Immediately!  ..Or else, they were going to padlock our doors, ceasing us from doing business!  Now hears the rub; it turned out the IRS had put our monies into a corperation we were not using at the time.  The numbers were close, but someone, someway, transposed those  numbers.  The computer did what it was supposed to do; automatically kick back the monies.  Forunitly, I had the brains to keep those checks on hand and not cashed them. The lesson to be learned here is; don't trust the IRS, never!   Don't wait on them, either -- Solve the problem yourself.  Use common sense, because they don't !   THEIR government employees, not some COMPUTER . . . And THAT '  is where the IRS problems stem from . . .  Employees who are not careful, or their facisious...or don't really care!
