Detroit Lawyer and the IRS
 
Sorry for the cut and paste but this was in a module that can only be accessed using my password. Nice to see they are really cracking down on the Lawers to pay their taxes. It probably cost the Govt. $10K for this farce. Jamo you should get your CPA on this and see if you can get the same break. :LOL:

DETROIT – James Howarth is a little confused by two letters he has received from the Internal Revenue Service.

The Detroit defense lawyer received one letter in November that said he owed the IRS money — five cents.

He was warned that he should pay "to avoid additional penalty and/or interest," the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday.

Howarth says he then received a second letter telling him the government owes him money — four cents.

He was told he would have to request the refund since it's less than $1.

"When I owe them a nickel, I must pay them. It's not optional," he said. "But when they owe me, I have to ask for it."

Howarth says he's not sure if there is a connection between the two notices, or if the refund represents a recalculation of the original bill.

The perplexed lawyer says he called an IRS 800 telephone number but gave up after spending a long time on hold.

IRS spokesman Luis D. Garcia says the agency doesn't comment on individual accounts.

That $.05 will turn into $200,000 in a matter of months.

That's the way the IRS works.

:rolleyes:

It was in the paper here. Just when I thought I had heard it all, the Government amazes me again!
