Today, I found out I owe the IRS over $2,000 because of a mistake they made. Their "apology" basically amounted to "Oops, our bad. Now pay up or you're gonna be Bubba's new bitch." FML

Today, I sat down to do my taxes. As I was going over my forms, I found my employer only took $1.72 out the entire year for my Federal Income Taxes. I now owe the IRS over $500 that I don't have. FML

Awkward conversation ahead

Today, as a tax preparer, I had to deliver the bad news that a lady owed a very large sum in taxes. I even had my supervisor check my work as this was serious. Apparently she has been claiming exemptions she doesn't qualify for for years by going to another local tax office that closed down last year, due to fraud. FML

Good news

Today, I had a bit of good news with a letter that stated we were owed money by overpaying Council Tax. I phoned them, announcing myself. However, it turns out we actually owe THEM money, due to an error they made giving me and my husband a discount we weren't entitled to. FML

Today, I woke up to find both of my bank accounts frozen. My bank informed me that the IRS had ordered a freeze on my assets because of back taxes owed, and would not unfreeze them until the money is paid. The amount? $2.47. FML

Today, I got my deposit back from my last apartment. The receipt is riddled with math errors. I'd told them I’m an accountant when I moved in, so I redid the receipt in my own time to see how bad they fucked it up. They owe me $400 more due to their mistake, and I’m sure I’ll never see any of it. FML

The IRS is the single greatest thing to ever oppress a human population so completely without the humans being aware it is happening

Do you actually have them on record saying that it was their mistake? If so, you might be able to fight this.

Wait, so they admitted it was their mistake, and instead of fixing it they just said **** it and still expect you to pay? That's some major bullshit!

Are you sure this is not that IRS scam that's going around? The amount they keep quoting in the scam is just shy of $2000.

Are you sure it's not a scam? Did they tell you this though the phone? Someone tried to scam my boyfriend. They told him that he'd have to go to court and have a warrant out for his arrest if he didn't pay 2 grand. Make sure it's legit before you pay anything!
