Lost In The Mail

[billroper]

Great. I got a letter from the IRS saying that I have failed to file the Dodeka return. I *mailed* the Dodeka return on a timely basis, but apparently it is lost. Now they want nearly $500.

This can probably be sorted out and I will have to pay to mail them return again (which is a noticeably large amount, because you have to use a large, flat envelope), but I can't call them to discuss this until Monday, because the letter arrived late today. I will get to chew on this over the weekend, which is just perfect.

(Note that I have heard nothing from Illinois, who got a copy of my Federal return appended to the State return, because that's how Illinois rolls...)

*sigh*

I also got a letter a couple of days ago from the IRS and felt the usual anxiety on seeing their name on the return address. In my case, though, it simply said I owed them nothing and they owed me nothing. As IRS correspondence goes, I'll take that.
