All you bastards out there cooking crank in bathtubs, fuck you very much. I apparently can't get regular sudafed late evenings at Freddy's because the damned pharmacy counter is closed.

*loads up on Advil cold and sinus instead*

In other news, the chorus is coming along swimmingly, although the absence of one rather ill mrdorbin was very greatly felt. The acoustics in Pilgrim are 3000% better than that dead, carpeted room at Unity and that corrects a multitude of sins. I think we'll be in decent shape tomorrow, and probably even better next weekend.

Oh, and the IRS is auditing us because they think we owe them $28k for non-reported stock sales in 2003 (this despite the fact that the sales in question were taxed automatically.) Um. Oookay. Just the headache I need. *smites stoopid citigroup people*

Time to go sleep this day off.

We've gotten practically anal about remembering to keep some of the stuff on hand, after way too many incidents like this.

This has happened to us TWICE now... apparently their software hasn't caught up to even the 20th century, and so even though the money is THERE on the form and in their databases, it still chokes on it. Hopefully your experience will be more like the one we had this year... one simple phone call, a very nice IRS agent who rolled her eyes along with us at the stupid software, and a letter a few weeks later saying the matter was cleared up.

The first experience was like that too... only it didn't happen until the third time we talked to an agent after the third notice we received saying "you owe us money, when are you going to pay?" Oh, and supposedly led to the first two agents getting in some hot water, because they noted our conversations in the records, but never bothered to follow up on them.

I think rackham may have given mekle the advice given to us by Very Helpful IRS Agent this year on how to submit things so their software won't keep tripping over it, year after year. Why they don't just make this info common knowledge, I'll never figure out... or better yet, fix the friggin' software!

Thanks for the tip. I've got to dig through my files and find our return from that year to make sure I filed the Schedule D and all that so I know what to tell them when I call.

Not surprised this has happened more than once, though. Sigh...
