How do you dispute the IRS?
I got a letter today. A “final notice,” even though I have not received any subsequent notifications, from the IRS. The claim is that I failed to pay state taxes, period, for 2014, and that I now owe them $2,500 plus penalty.
My tax forms show I was owed a $340 refund, which I submitted on time last April through my accountant.
I am irritated that I am being threatened with wage garnishment for their error and I must spend many hours disputing their error. They have to have my W2s and other tax documents to know what my income was to know what Inowed, and it clearly shows on those W2s that my employer deducted state income taxes.
How can I dispute that they say I paid zero state taxes when it’s right there on the forms? Has anyone else gone through something similar?
