It's been a while since I posted a blog entry here.
Thinking about this blog, and rereading some of it, the title isn't very appropo; rather than the IRS, I blog about the state of Ill's revenue dept to some great degree.
On top of that, to bring things up to date: I am still having problems related to that point that compelled me to write this blog: my credit was ruined by my ex-husband who covertly put my name on a credit card and defaulted on it.
Now I believe it is this poor credit rating that has lost me a couple of new job opportunities.
And as my other blogs, I write to share this info to help others. In this blog, it is to tell this story so that others may avoid these traps I fell into for one reason or another.
My goal is to repair my credit now due to my bad marriage and it's seemingly chronic negative effects in my life at this point - basically nine years after I filed for divorce.
So, I rename this blog: Sequella of a bad divorce

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.
