Daily Comic Journal: May 1, 2017: “Who Am I, Al Capone? (Part 1)”
This phone call came out of the blue and took me by surprise. While the first man I spoke to had a heavy accent making it difficult to understand specific words (and the same for the woman, the second person I spoke to) because the call was from the Washington DC area and they were using proper, technical words, I was in a panic.
I began running through my mind, had I received any notices from the IRS the last few months, that I may have misplaced or discarded? Because I filed two years ago online, without using the CPA I’ve hired over the last decade to do my taxes, did I forget something important? Had I screwed up?
When the last person I spoke to began amping up the threats of incarceration, and said I’d owed $10,000.00, my rational mind began kicking in….
Conclusion, tomorrow.
I’m surprised you hadn’t read about that one; it’s been around for a good number of months. The IRS NEVER deals with anyone by telephone.
I’m sure I had, but considering where my mind’s been, during these months out of work, I immediately bought into the idea, “Oh, here’s another thing going bad in my life.”
In the next part you’ll see how I dealt with it. (you should enjoy it! 🙂 )
