Bikeguy Posted November 13, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 13, 2023 is from the IRS. WoBG and I each just received a letters from the IRS. Yeah I always assume the worst. Like I owe them thousands of dollars, etc... Then I opened my letter. I owe them $0.00 and they accepted our amended 2022 tax return. At first I didn't tell WoBG. I mentioned great NOW what do we get to deal with? Then I just told her. I didn't want to awaken the wrath of WoBG. Somethings you learn not to do after 41 years. So what letter do you get in the mail that trigger lots of anxiety? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is always trepidation when opening an IRS letter, for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted November 13, 2023 Share #5 Posted November 13, 2023 Yeah, just got one from the feds. We owe $270 more for 2022. Dunno how that happened, but I’ll put $270 of effort into finding out. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted November 13, 2023 Share #6 Posted November 13, 2023 I got one a few years ago for a five digit "owed" and almost peed my pants. I immediately contacted my tax attorney, and he was able to resolve it with a prior year updated return that resulted in a small EXTRA REFUND for me! I had been doing my own taxes for that prior period, and switching to a pro was the best "investment" I have made in a while. My mistake that prompted the bill was not having a cost basis for an investment, so it looked like the taxes were owed on the full amount rather than the full amount MINUS the cost. Scary, but a stupid error on my part, and Turbotax screwed me by not flagging it. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember I never won a lottery before or after the draft lottery. I had a low number... maybe 18. Then they stopped drafting a few months before I turned 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
