taxes or death? I'll take death, please

[laurainlimbo]

I just have to say that the Internal Revenue Service is the most evil organization on the face of the planet.

they made me cry today.

I've been trying to get through to them for two days, but finally today I got a really horrid woman on the phone who was giving me incorrect information and wouldn't help me to understand anything. And when I asked her for clarification, and got a bit frustrated and admittedly angry (who wouldn't?), she hung up on me.

then I tried calling again and got a message that there were technical difficulties and my call couldn't be handled at this time.

they told me that a mistake was made on my amended return but they won't help me.

what am I supposed to do?

you're right. and I tried calling him and he didn't answer all day today. the company seems to be closed. I called IRS originally just to get a status on my refund, but then they started telling me it was all wrong. I'm almost positive that it's their fault.

Hrm, well, I guess since tax preparation is usually a seasonal job, that's not too surprising. Did they give you any kind of emergency number? If you're able to leave a message, they may call you back.

I think he's been out of the office. but I did speak to his secretary today and she said he will be back MOnday. it will be taken care of I'm sure, but it is still a pain. and the IRS people are sure mean!
