It's finally over - my year-long battle with the IRS

It’s finally over. I’ve been fighting with the IRS for about 14 months about my 2003 return. I filed an amended return, paid what I calculated I owed, and waited. They held this year’s refund because of it. I ended up having to send the amended return three times because they kept losing it (although they had and cashed the check I sent with it). Yesterday I got a letter saying that $928 should be sent to me (or deposited in my checking account, more probably) within two weeks. It’s finally over.

I’m glad too! Did you figure out what the error was?

ivylass - Being unemployed, I’d taken 2 IRA early distributions and had tax taken from one and not the other - I forgot to that when I filed. I sent an amended return, itemize and got some extra deductions, and a check for the difference. They cashed the check and nevver processed the amended return. That was nearly a year ago. I had to mail it twice more before they finally worked it.

Shwew! You should have seen what they did to Richard Hatch!

Glad it’s over and in your favor. What a major headache.

That is good news. Glad that it has finally worked out. :slight_smile:
