An agent who is ..... nice?

I've been dealing quite a bit with Mr. G, the current agent on my case. He's been the fourth I've had the privelege of experiencing firsthand. And the word that comes to mind when dealing with him: nice. Really. Not a joke. If any of the higher-ups in the IRS read this, I'm sure if they identify him, he's in danger of losing his job.

Chronolgy of agents: Ms. E C: tacky, untrustworthy, flippant.
Mr. R S - idiot, unavailable
Ms SD J - snippy, unavailable, cryptic
Ms E (supervisor) - imperious, quick temper
and now, nice and normal Mr G

We're at the point where the luxury vacation home may be sold. There is a closing date. The IRS and the State of Ill may in deed be paid off.....

All events hanging in abeyance.... the ex is passively aggressively trying to run it off the track. Yet, everyone is lining up on the same side of the feeding trough as me: IRS, state of ill, realtor, title co, three attorneys. And there, on the other side of the barn, pissed off and indignant, is my ex who can't understand how the IRS tab alone is now over $228,000.

On it goes.....

Mission impossible

Mark Everson, commissioner of the IRS, states in a message to taxpayers, "To protect the honest taxpayer, we have strengthened enforcement of the tax laws. The vast majority of taxpayers pay honestly and accurately, and they have every right to expect their neighbors and competitors to do the same."

This blog will document my ongoing efforts to extract myself from the financially oppressive control of the IRS during and after being married to a businessman who was less than forthright with his finances. Here's what happened when I tried to be honest and make things right. A little upfront warning: don't try this at home. You'll end up where I am, and believe me, it's tedious at best.

The IRS Mission, according to the 2006 1040 instruction booklet, is, "Provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsiblities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all."

My Mission: In dealing with the IRS since a joint-income tax return field audit was started in July 2002, I hope to help as many friends as possible, in like circumstances, avoid the "top quality service" of such a fair and honest organization as the IRS. It's not worth it. Don't ever try to be a good American in this realm. Protect yourself.
