Just got a letter from the IRS...
...I was thinking, Oh shit. Open it, and they say I made a mistake on my taxes...I will be getting $400 more back! Woo-hoo!

Now those are the kind of letters you want!

2. The only other time I got one was saying I owed $1,000!!!!
I had to scrape together stuff from a few years back to prove them wrong!

7. That is so cool -- and only right and fair. It IS your money, after all, they just
seem to forget that a lot. :hi:

19. I half read an article that said people get a 400 dollar deduction
and if you didn't sign up for it they would give it to you anyway. congrats. I hope I get the same.

5. Is that from the "Making Work Pay" stimulus deduction?
My neighbor, a CPA, says the IRS will be correcting tax returns for people who forget/neglect the deduction.

Damn you Obama and your middle class tax cuts!!!

Evil IRS needs to be abolished!!!!!!

17. That's impossible - Have our own S-Corp and income goes up and down.
No way to plan for what's going to happen with taxes.

12. I received the same kind of letter some years ago.
The IRS said that my tax preparer underestimated my refund by around $400! I wonder if both of us had the same error?

13. I think mine had something to do with the stimulus package...
...so our errors would have to have been different, if yours was a few years back.

18. That's almost as good as getting a letter saying your tests came back negative.
