What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
In 2010 I worked for two large universities in Indiana. These universities took off all the normal federal, state, and local taxes from my paychecks. I filed taxes as usual. In June I received an audit notice from the IRS. They claim to have no record of me paying any taxes in 2010, and they now require me to pay them the total amount of taxes, plus a penalty, plus an additional fine that accrues interest. I supplied them with a certified letter, my tax returns, my W2's, etc. which clearly indicate that I paid my taxes in full. I have the receipt showing that they signed for these materials from the USPS on June 10th, 2010. However, they ignored all my materials and sent a response to me this past week stating that I still owed them the money plus the penalty, plus the (now larger) interest amount. I paid these taxes already! It's obvious on my W2's! I also have had no luck contacting anyone at the IRS that cares or is willing to help me with this matter that will take 10 seconds to fix. What should I do? Do I need a lawyer to bark a little louder to force the IRS to pay attention to me? Is there someone else at the IRS I should contact? This is causing me a great deal of stress. I'm an honest, law abiding taxpayer and this is what I get? USA...
