I learned the hard way I am a business I filed my 941 correctly in 2003
now for you who don't know what that is it is Employer's Quarterly Federal
Tax Return. *Well you can't be charged more than $7000.00 for the year in
this for my income level. *For some odd reason the person entering this said
I made 150,000.00 in my third quarter; way off it was 2000.00. * Well I only
owed 283.00 for that quarter they said I owed $1500.50. * *After dealing
with multiple people and having multiple people, paperwork done saying it
was taken care of. * 8 months later I had 1535.50 seized from my account no
notice. *After 2 months of being jerked around I got an attorney who in 10
minutes got some one assigned to my case. *24 hours had it resolved and in
30 days I had a check for the amount they seized, my bank charges, my
attorney fees and interest they would charge. *She was good. *She told me
when there is a problem they are required to assign a case worker or
manager( not sure of the term) *to your case and what they were doing was
illegal which is why I got everything I requested. *95% of the time you
don't get attorney fees back and only get bare interest about 2%

* *The irs is just a bunch of thieving monkeys humping a football with one
hand in the cookie jar the other trying to pull it out and a third hand
reaching in your pocket while you are watching wonder what the heck is going
on.

I just received a noticed about my *2006 saying I didn't file either my
personal or business. *I called them and asked if I did not file how did I
get a return. *They have it but just in case I sent a copy in.

The irs still screws my account up *they changed from me filing 944 which is
filed quarterly and paid quarterly *to a 940 which is filed once a year but
still paid quarterly. *I get a noticed everytime I file saying I paid the
wrong one than get another notice usually the next day *telling me I am
supposed to pay the other and the money is going to this account

Matthew is right, I have seen people try and struggle with this sort of
thing by themselves. *The two best points he made are, get someone
assigned to your case, and take all the stuff to a professional.

I would certainly be ****ed off! With all that you and your family have
been through recently, you sure don't need this kind of crap to deal
with. It doesn't really matter what kind of personal stuff she was going
through at home; if she was unable to process the tax stuff in a timely
fashion she owed you at the very least a courtesy call asking to come
pick up the papers, or informing you that she was sending everything
back to you.

you Best of luck in dealing with the IRS. Though Matthew's advice sounds
like it ought to get you through the mess pretty painlessly.

Since you asked....yes, I believe you have a perfect right to be
annoyed by the
behavior of your mother's longtime tax preparer (whatever her
qualifications are)
but have no advice re dealing with IRS re the issues she caused with
them, or
those your mother caused with them.
As previously stated, people in my family do not live long enough to -
as the
saying goes - be a problem to their family. Unless you enjoy traveling
to and
from this military island in SC, if I were in your shoes your mother
wiould be
brought to *your* choice of living area so she will not be the prey of
locals there
like the one you describe here. In my home state there are infinite
numbers of
vultures like this taking advantage of old people left alone by fate
and their only
younger survivors live far, far away, unable or unwilling to make the
trips like
you have, over and over, to rescue the elders from those who prey on
them
financially.....I realize you are tired of me saying this, but frankly
I can't see things
getting any better from your description of happenings regarding her.- Hide quoted text -

It is hard, any way you look at it, to care for an elderly parent. And
the hardest
part is getting them to let go, so to speak, and turn all their
business/banking
interests/decisions over to their children. Moms may be easier than
Dads, I don't
know. My mom died very young.
We tried it all; keeping Dad at his house and "checking" on him upteen
times a day, until we practically were living with him; tried bringing
him here. Both times
were a miserable failure. We tried putting him in the nursing home
with the closest proximity to us so that it was easier on US to visit
often. The level of care at the
nursing home wasn't good. We ended up putting him in the one with the
best
reputation, but it's a 40-mile round trip to visit. And my sister or I
have to make
the trip every day to keep him grounded. If we don't, he gets
disoriented.
It's the nightmare of the baby boomers, I'm afraid. $4300 per month
goes to the nursing home; approx. $1100 per month to the pharmacy. At
this rate I'm not sure
how many years the $$$$ is going to hold out. Frankly, I haven't done
the math because it scares me.
And again, if it were my mom, I think my sister & I could be keeping
her at home for this particular level of care. She would have been a
more cooperative patient, Dad we just couldn't handle. His most oft-
repeated phrase was "You're not the boss of me." He defers to anyone
in the medical profession; nurses, doctors, even aides. But not us.
