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?

Keep calling and ask to speak to someone higher up right away. That's insane, they have no right to speak to you like that!

Have you tried any of these services?

I tried that and unfortunately I couldn't get through a second time. there is something wrong these days and when you call the 800 number, it's always got a recording that says all agents are busy and try your call again. I've talked with my tax preparer's secretary and she said to just wait for him to call the IRS and deal with it.

but yes, it is insane. I think they have no right, but they think they do. sad world we live in.
