A Smack On The Head

You know the entire IRS story is so difficult and confusing that I won't burden you with much more. As I read my last post I didn't realize how much had changed. I just received a bill a couple of days before the Gov't Shutdown for $4,200+ dollars for 2011. Oct. 14th is the deadline for it to be paid... but there is no one home at the government offices and no one answering the phones to tell me what to do. I am not as worried as I have been. I just heard on the news, a reminder that people who filed for extensions are now due to have filed their taxes and that penalties will occur.  I am so glad I got those 4 yrs done when I did. The IRS is most likely going to be very backlogged. Yikes!

The Utah State Tax Commission just mailed me an order to lien if I didn't pay $155.+ The good news is per my phone call they have finally stamped the filed as finished. She said I will receive a Certified Letter of Notice to Lien that had just been mailed,but to not open it and hold on to it or let it sit at the post office. After a certain amount of time their system will make note of no response, check the file, see the disposition and end it. So, Utah is done. Finis.

Gary's headstone should be done and placed any day now. That will be another relief. I hope I've served him well. I will probably smack him upside the head when I see him one day. He could have warned me at any time in the year before his death that he quit paying taxes and opened only 1/4 of all his mail for 4 yrs and stuffed them in drawers. Yes, Gary, a smack on the head.  But, I truly know you are happier now than life here would allow you.
