Seussical
First my state decides we made an error on our taxes a couple years ago and decided we needed to send them money. Ok, well we didn't do it fast enough and they decided to suspend our ability to renew our license plates (really they couldn't wait til this tax time and just take our meager refund).
Now that we paid them because goodness knows what other things they would torture us with if we waited any longer. Guess what. Now the IRS is sending us paperwork trying to make us prove that we had easy child and difficult child 2 living with us in 2005 and that we could claim them. I can't even begin to tell you how irked I am. I know that we have supported and so many other things our kids. But nooooooooooooooo we get done with one mess and I begin to think I see the end of the line of extra bs flying at us and sploosh stepped into a new mess. We have 30 days to send them all the information they want. I started going through the file cabinet only to discover that my divorce decree from my first husband is missing. Now I have to find out how to get it from a distant court house. Not to mention I have no idea how we prove that we paid for stuff for the kids. I mean we could send light bills and such but I don't have receipts for groceries from then. Why would I? I could probably scrape up some of the dr bills. This is just ridiculous. I have to contact the schools to prove they were here when they went to school etc too. ARGHHHHHH. They sent this little bitty envelope for fifty pounds of paperwork that they want. How silly is that. I mean really. I am not real comfortable with the fact that they want copies of birth certificates and ss cards. I plan to call the lovely folks during business hours and discuss this with them. I also need to read the paperwork telling us of our rights on this. I skimmed it but later when I can't sleep because I am trying to figure out where all this information can be conjured from I will read it to go to sleep.
We really are good people. Why do we continue to get these gems sent, handed, passed or pooped at us?
I mean I do our taxes because well I am not stupid and accounting is what I was going to do when I grew up. So I studied enough of it to know what I have to read and pay attention to. I refuse to pay an accountant to do something I am capable of doing.
easy child came out of her room a bit ago to see why I was ranting. When she heard it she just stared at me like I was wierd (well I am but not because of the ranting). I told her guess what now that she works and is getting close to adult hood she can look forward to some of these fun things. She just shook her head at me and went back into hiding. Ah well....
As I sit here and look at my house I wonder why they choose those of us that really can't afford this **** to be the ones they do this to. Oh wait that is exactly why because we tend to be the people that just roll over and take it because we don't know how to fight. Well guess what they picked on the wrong woman. I know how to verify everything and check that I am beign treated fairly. It says I can request that this be done in person. I am so tempted just to put one of them out since I am going to spend a lot of time digging for all the **** they want. Course then they would probably try and find something else wrong.
Sorry for the long rant...couldn't be helped. Maybe now the dogs will quit staring at me like I have lost it.
