we always have our taxes done by a CPA--with last years taxes he had to do an amendment since we recieved an inheirtance from my mom--so the admentment was done
we owed a little more tax so while the amendment was electronically sent we mailed a check this was back in march our bank shows the check clearing on 3-16
so last week we get a letter from the IRS saying they made the changes but now we owe xxx.xx when had already sent them xxx.xx the 2 amounts were less then 2$ different
our CPA looked everything over and said the only thing he could come up with is the fact the check was mailed
now the real problem is trying to get a hold of someone from IRS calling this morning they bascially say they can not take your call at this time and hang up
the letter stated that if we dont agree with what it says to call by 6-13 well were trying but cant get a hold of anyone I checked the IRS website which which there was a spot of check on amendments when I went that route it said it could not give out any info and to call!!!
we dont know where else to turn or what to do--one thing I read that it could take up to 16 weeks for an amendment to process well by that time were past the 6-13 deadline
the difference in the 2 amounts according to our CPA is for interest--
and this is very strange both my DH and myself got the exact same letter we file jointly so why are we both getting this
you think your doing everything right and its still a mess--
any advice would really help
thanks all
