Advocate, IRS nor Appeals will help me. My return was accepted. They keep telling me it was beyond 3 years and it wasn’t. I have my transcript where they accepted my extension.

Without a full transcript review, it’s hard to say. The last attorney mentioned three years plus extensions. Try referencing the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) section 25.6.1.5 that mentions 3 yrs plus extension for SOL for refunds. The IRS agents should follow their own guidelines. This might... View More

Posted SL 55, Truck ahead 50-54 mph for 10 miles. Good spot to pass but not if you dawdle. Many states allow 5-10 MPH over SL to avoid forcing a driver to go for multiple miles in left lane to pass. No one forces you to pass if allowed it should be done in the safest manner possible.

This is simple: If the checks were payable to you personally you can do (just about) whatever you want with them; and my advice on that point is to return the checks to whoever gave them to you, and document it very well.

The only way to know is to have a Tax Attorney contact Georgia and conduct a State Tax Investigation. Please let me know if my firm can help: 855-900-1040. The statue of limitations for Georgia runs longer than the IRS.

What should i do, because i located my actual w2. I fear i am committing fraud. Should i contact IRS now to let them know or wait for them to send me documents. I am very scared and feel very stupid.
