IRS
I now personally see why people have such a hatred for the IRS. Apparently I am being audited. My refund kept being delayed and yesterday I noticed a message that said there was a problem and to call the 8oo number. And here is the thing...I always get a refund. I make sure of it. Throughout the year, I claim single no dependents w/ payroll. I then have an additional amount taken out. Then when I file, I am head of household and claim 2 dependents - myself and Courtney. So I always get a refund. It is my way of saving money. So, why, after 10 years of filing the same exact way, 10 years of making less than $30,000, 10 years of filing a freaking EZ form and I being audited??? It is bullshit.
So, I called the IRS this morning. Gave the dude all my info, told him that online it says I should have received a form, but I had NOT. He puts me on hold for about 5 minutes and then comes back ans says, Ma'am did you get a form in the mail? A CP05 notice? NO!!! Sheesh, if you had listened the first time...then he comes back on the line and says, Ok, here is what will happen, on April 28th you will receive a CP05 form and within 3 weeks the IRS will make a decision as to whether or not they need more info from you. Good grief, could they waste more time and money? Why not just tell me what you need? So, in three weeks I possibly (but highly unlikely) with get my money but more likely I will have to wait on another letter in the mail to see what I have to do. Would it not just save time to tell me what you need over the phone? And why the hell would it take a week and a half to get a fucking letter? Where the hell in the USA is it being mailed from? Is the post office that bad? Why bother even having telephone operaters? Why not just tell me that online when I checked my refund status? A monkey could have told me that and NOT answered the questions I had. Everything I asked he said, I don't know. Fucking useless.
