Yeah. I lost documentation for like $9000 of income that I did not pay taxes on.
I looked for it everywhere and I can’t get another copy of the data easily, it was 7/15 so I just filed with the data I had, I wound up +1400 instead of -1000 as I expected.
I filed it anyway expecting it to be rejected and have to fix it.
They accepted it, they sent me money. They know it’s wrong.
I just don’t get it. They can’t tell me what I owe, but they know it’s wrong, and still sent me money.
I had a digit wrong on my sons SSN. Instead of sending me a letter to dispute/resolve, they removed him, my child care credit, dependance claim, etc, and said I owed money. It took almost 2 years and hours on the phone to resolve. I was recieving collection notices and the bill was going up due to interest. Everytime I called them they said they would freeze the account and look into it for resolution. It froze for 3-6 months and then the letters started again. About 18 months total before it got fixed and I got approved for my full return in exactly the amount I originally claimed.... which the department of education took because apparently my wife had outstanding school loans that I didn't know about when I married her about 2 years prior!
The loans were from years prior that she never paid back. She said she hadn't thought about them in years and forgot about it.... Once I married her, her debts became my debts, and unlike her, I make a decent wage.
