I have had to deal with IRS situations a number of times. They were always wrong, but I provided the backup info to help them. The process took several months and we are only talking a few thousand bucks. Imagine what the corrupt bastards do to The Donald.
so true----my story is kinda trivial because my income was trivial-------I did something a bit "unorthodox" I was in great turmoil so I ESTIMATED and ---added a bit (ie --OVERESTIMATED)------and sent it off. For years I did not fill out the LONG FORMS---- THEY CAUGHT UP WITH ME-----as if I never paid. I got a HUGE BILL---------Fortunately some really sympathetic old guy in the local IRS office----spent SCORES OF HOURS with me-------fixing it all up and got me an ""APOLOGY"" from the IRS----and even a little refund.
Such people are rare in "government"
