Q: I was wanting to know if I already signed a form 872 do I have to sign another if they put the wrong date on the other
I was audited for my 2016 taxes and I am trying to take it to appeals I am being told that I have to sign another form 872 because the agent put the wrong date on the first one and I won't be able to go to appeals if I don't sign the one she has the correct date on she already had me sign one with a date of 04/15/2020 I need to know why would they need until 04/15/2021 when you have all my documents that she didn't even look at the first time and she denied everything with no reason and sent me back the same report as the first one so why would I sign a paper to extend this out longer then it needs to be when she looked over nothing the first time. Any information would greatly help.
A: Earth to taxpayer trying to appeal an IRS audit: You are dealing with the IRS. The IRS does not have time to argue with taxpayers over such silly things as the end date for completion of an audit. So-- unless you agree to sign whatever documents the auditor and IRS wants you to sign you may live to regret it.
