IRS Sons of dogs!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!!

Quote from LEAPup:

Just a rant, I apologize in advance.

I paid the IRS a little over $17,000 after filing in April.

Today my Wife calls me at the office letting me know about the 10+ pages the IRS sent showing where I apparently (they think! ) owe $97,000

I've always had my returns done by very good CPA's, and haven't had any problems in the past. My Wife faxed me the mess at the office, and I just faxed it to the CPA's and await an answer.

I have been a Broker and RIA for years, and passed the Level I CFA before failing Level II... I read financial statements all the time. But, this is one statement that I can't even figure out. If I can't figure the statement out, how is the rest of the Country?

I just can't believe this!!!!!! What a "system" the government has in place...

I don't drink anymore, but does someone want to buy me one later?

It's all unnecessary. The IRS is nothing more than a terrorist organization. www.fairtax.org

Imagine, this is just one story we are seeing because we participate on elitetrader.com. Think about the untold thousands who will be sent into panicville this year because of this outrageous system we are subjected to in this country. Pathetic!

I hope you are able to "Leap" past these thugs!

Define "good."

Good, as in getting you to pay the least tax legally allowed, or good at getting your taxes below that amount?

If it's the former your CPA should have no problem clearing the misunderstanding up with no impact to you.

If it's the later, and an IRS special agent comes calling, then best of luck because those are not the breed of IRS you want on your ass...

The first one. Nothing illegal.

this is the guy you should be ranting too. part ot the reason you pay a cpa to do your taxes is so they will deal with the irs.

Agreed. I'll probably be giving them POA with this one...

Thank you very much!!! And I'll certainly try that fair tax calculator.

Quote from JoePaterno:

why the theatrics? You prepare your return; that doesn't mean they have to accept it even though most of the time, they do. If audited, you go, discuss the issues so both sides reach understanding of what the tax obligation, and go home. Contrary to popular opinion, the govt AND the filers make errors or do things that are confusing. It is also possible that something popped up from the past. This is not a criminal prosecution. Be mature and go deal with your situation. No reason to stress andd vent.

I guess it's only money...

This is not necessarily correct, as far as ranting to his CPA. His CPA probably did a reputable and diligent job in preparing his taxes.

Go hire 10 CPAs, then I believe you'll see 10 different results on your taxes. It's a travesty in this country. The fault lies with the IRS.

I have to keep my wacky sense of humor. When I think about sending them even 50k, that "killsthesunshine."

Tax accounting and HR documentation (for litigation avoidance) are two massive drains on business productivity in the US.

I hate trial lawyers even more than the IRS, but it's very close.

The guy from the t.v commercials "taxmasters" hired a bunch of IRS agents, lawyers, etc., and probably makes a killing.

I'm going home to have a drink. (Iced tea)

Great! And when you take a piss, look down in the toilet and imagine a tiny little IRS agent down there.
