I have been to the doctor, but so far all they found was low vitamin D. I suspected low B12 as well, but had been taking mega doses for a few weeks before I saw her, so it came back in the normal range. But I'm continuing on the Bs as well as D. I had a heart monitor for a day, but haven't gotten the results yet. Since the weather here is nice, I am going to make a point of taking a 'turn' about my yard each day with my dogs. Since my yard is several acres, it's a nice walk, the dogs like it, and being out in the sunshine helps. Being able to take or schedule my own breaks will be a nice change from being locked to a desk and phone. Well, I'm off to bed. I'm a night owl, but have my tax update class all day tomorrow.....and it starts at 8am!

>>we DID provide a contemporaneous log<< Apparently the auditor determined the log was not credible, perhaps because it conflicted with information about the other job. Did your log or time sheets cover that? Beef up your documentation of the time spent (or not spent) on the other job, and support the contemporaneous log with receipts and phone bills and signed documents and whatever else he did during those 750 hours. So, you tried to take an assertive position for your client, and didn't get away with it this time. How is he damaged? No penalty. Interest is just for the low cost loan he got by delaying payments he would have had to pay anyway if you never tried. Time and cost of an audit, that's just an ordinary and expected part of the tax system. Once in a while they get somebody. Discount your fees for the audit in the interest of good client relations, but never pay the underlying tax.
