Today I discovered that my check to the US Treasury was deposited into an account at Bank of America. I had owed 38 dollars as the result of capital gains in 2005 that I failed to report. Thanks to sharp reminders from my accountant friend Jehangir, I finally am square with the IRS. I figured I shouldn't guess how much interest they wanted.
The schedule d is surprisingly simple, but not intuitive. I'm glad I got a discounted old version of TaxCut for a couple dollars. That, in turn, made it easier to file taxes for 2006 as you can import last year's data into TaxCut.

just because they cashed your check doesn't mean that they haven't levied some claim of interest due or something-- the IRS are relentless bastards that way. Follow up. Trust me, I used to work in an accounting office, and heard some horror stories. One restaurateur learned he owed over five grand for a two-hundred dollar typographical mistake three years before.
ReplyDeleteI really hope I get a bill in the mail then. I'll give them until they give me my return...
