3. I have had accountants fuck up three years recently and IRS agents saved me the money

each time. I love the IRS, I don't care what anyone said. One was a 3k mistake, I sent the money then they asked for another 300 and I called. The woman told me my acct did not fill out the back of a sheet and if I sent in correction, I would get 3k back. This last one said I owed 158k selling a house. They are so short employees as it is took 5 months to finally get info processed but ultimately it was two different agents walking me thru the process to correct issue, online. My point.

I like IRS and they are not out to fuck us BUT they are already short staffed which makes it hard for all of us to resolve issues.
