May. 12th, 2009 09:06 pmSo I got a letter from the IRS. Never a good thing, right?
Supposedly, I owe money on my 2007 tax form. Now, I always fill out the EZ form, on the theory that it can't get any simpler and I can't screw up and wind up owing a lot of money later... but somehow that didn't save me this time.
Not that it makes any sense. They claim that I didn't report 944.00 revenue/interest from Cascade Federal (my credit union) and 944.00/interest revenue from Bank of America. Because of this, I owe 444.00 (apparently because I never paid taxes on any of this revenue either, I guess).
Aside from the fact that it's very odd that both amounts are identical... I don't even have a savings or checking account with Bank of America. I have my car loan through them, but I pay them money, not the other way around.
Anyway if I'd received an extra 1888.00 in 2007 you'd think I'd remember something about it. Besides which, how much money would I have to have with each of them to earn nearly $2,000.00 in interest?
I can dispute it of course, but I have to send them documentation to support my side of the argument. How do I send them documentation to prove I never received any money that I, in fact, never received?
I guess I'll start by talking to my Credit Union and see what they can tell me, since they supposedly reported paying me this money. I guess with them at least I have a year-end statement showing what interest I earned. I don't know what I have to show for Bank of America because I've never had an account with them that earned interest. I don't think the account listed by the IRS is even related to my loan account.
