IRS sent me a letter...

[SabreKiller]

Our records show you have unpaid taxes for the year ending on December 31,2013.

Taxes you owed- 17902
Payments and credits- 17921.21
Failure to pay proper estimated tax penalty- 50.00
Amount due by July 28, 2014- 30.69

WTH? I have never done the estimated tax payments throughout the year. I have always paid my taxes due by April 15. What goes here? Am I required to make estimated tax payments throughout the year? I always use Turbo Tax and print those vouchers out but I have never seen anything that said I am required to pay my taxes in that manner. The way I look at it they owe me money.

Can anyone explain this crap to me before I call them on Monday? Thanks

If I was you I would just write the check for $30.69 and mail it in. It will save you the headache of trying to argue with that bunch!

Yup!

To me it looks like they owe you but man is that a big headache for $30. Good luck.

I get them 1-3 times a year & just write the check. It's easier than dealing with them.....

IRS sent me a letter...

Last year I got a letter saying I did not pay my taxes. After three phone calls and about two and a half hours spent on the phone they discovered that I had paid my taxes. And they applied them to 2014 instead of 2013. Buick fix for them, lots of wasted time on the phone for me.

Tell them your dog ate the letters & if they could send it via email...so you can lose that too.

If in 2012 you underpaid by a certain amount, you were required to make quarterly tax payments in 2013. Happened to me once. Their beef is that you did not pay quarterly as asked.

[GulfCoastRaider]

I got the same type letter, but mine says I owe 947 dollars! Difference in some Capitol gains tax I didn't pay or some crap!

Tell them your hard drive crashed - that excuse seems to be working for Lois Lerner.

I got two of those in 1 year for two separate years. First one was for $1200.00 dollars in 2010. Payed it. Two weeks later got another one for 2009 for $500.00. I hate those folks.

[MrSinister]

Tell them you lost your records of this so it must have never have happened. Kind of like their email records...
That being said I think if you owe a certain dollar figure you actually do have to pay at different points through the year. I am no tax expert but I have heard that to be the case you might want to take it up with a tax professional so it doesn't pop up again and again on you.

Here ya go

“The Dog Ate My Tax Return Act,” taxpayers who do not provide documents requested by the IRS can claim one of the following reasons:

1. The dog ate my tax receipts

2. Convenient, unexplained, miscellaneous computer malfunction

3. Traded documents for five terrorists

4. Burned for warmth while lost in the Yukon

5. Left on table in Hillary’s Book Room

6. Received water damage in the trunk of Ted Kennedy’s car

7. Forgot in gun case sold to Mexican drug lords

8. Forced to recycle by municipal Green Czar

9. Was short on toilet paper while camping

10. At this point, what difference does it make?

Stockman’s bill comes a week after the IRS refused to turn over to House investigators emails from former Exempt Organizations Divison director Lois Lerner that would implicate agency personnel in illegal targeting of citizens critical of President Barack Obama.
