My brother-in-law is an orthopedic sales rep. So he is not getting paid from his surgeries until the bill gets generated, contested by insurance, collected from patient, etc, etc. Bottom line... his income is from work done months ago and therefore, his taxes are always a year behind. They always file an extension, and always make quarterly payments throughout the year to try to get it close. They've done it this way for over 10 years.
About 6 months ago, my sister goes to use her debit card. Denied, no funds. Which was odd, because there was over $30,000 in there. Long story short... the IRS came in in the middle of the night and took every penny. They claim they sent a certified letter. It was to a ****ing address that my sister hasnt lived in over 8 years.
That money was going to be due (which is why it was sitting in the checking account). But the way it was done was criminal, imo.
IRS don't **** around. I had a similar situation happen to me but by mistake. Turns out some dude with the same name and all but 1 digit same SSN as me and they cleaned my account out. Called my bank and they said it was IRS and they can't do shît. Called my Lawyer and CPA, went through hoops for a week to finally get it back.
Worst feeling that your accounts are just wiped out.
Is what you do too complicated for electronic return?Okay I mailed them. Keeping my fingers crossed. BTW I use TurboTax. I highly recommend it.
I'm going to need a right hip. Add me to the list please.What ortho company? Can he get me grant or exhibit money for CME courses? That'd be great, thanks.
Somehow, my social got put on a contractor's pay stub
So he's actually worse at spending his money than the government? Poor bastardThat's how I feel too.
But my best friend is, self-admittedly, horrible with his money. So he purposefully sets up his withholdings to get a large refund as a way of forced savings. Of course, knowing this... he starts getting himself in the hole because he knows a large check is coming in February.
