Me and the IRS
It’s the end of June and we just got a letter from the IRS. These are the same guys that put Al Capone behind bars for tax evasion. What could they possibly want from me? Haven’t these people taken enough of my hard-earned money?I look at the first page hoping not to see that they want to audit us. It would figure that the year that we gave sizeable donation to charities would be the year that we would be audited… was this the reason for the audit (is running through my head while I’m reading the letter).
Anyways, I look through the first page of legal jargon. It seems that we are not being audited, but we actually overpaid our takes… Yahoo! Now I’m thinking I hit the jackpot… new shoes for everyone.
I read on to page two to see the amount of the treasure trove due back to us from the US Federal Government…
That's right ladies and gentlemen, a whole two dollars.
You’ve got to be kidding me… It cost more in grief and time invested on their end then the “sizeable refund” that I’m about to receive. Couldn’t they have just kept the $2 and called it good? I can’t wait to take that huge check into the bank to be cashed.

Put that bad boy in escrow, my friend. They just might come hounding you for it later.
As an Italian, you can never be too careful about getting in the trick bag with the IRS.
I think I'd be careful not to spend it all in one place.

There's a saying here, Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. You take care not to spend it all at once.
I know that sinking feeling upon getting an IRS letter too. Two days ago I got one. We were sure we were getting audited but it turns out they were just sending confirmation of our amended return. Whew!!
