I like the strawberry preserve kind from them the best ...

just wondering how this comes into play: What Can I Deduct? To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is common and accepted in your trade or business. A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your trade or business. An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary.

And I stepped right in the schmuck.

Schmucker.

Is the letter you are referring to your initial letter before the lien is placed (30 days prior to if memory serves me correctly)? If so, take a deep breath as you have time to make sure your house won't be considered in the lien. First thing I would do would be to make eye to eye contact with the person who is in charge of legal documents such as mortgages, etc. That person is called the Clerk of Court in Louisiana. Anyway, go to the proper County that your home is domiciled in and get with the head knocker. Don't even give the other County a second thought. How are they going to put a lien on property when it's not even located in their County? The person in charge in your County can put a flag on you property if he/she even feels like it's necessary, but I'm willing to bet you will be told you have nothing to worry about! I would be extremely amazed if your property already has a lien from IRS on it, but go and visit your County's office IN PERSON so you will know all is ok!! Take care!

Line 61. See, that was a schmuck thing right there.

Naveen: 1. Don't use the business address anymore for ANYONE. 2. Get a PO Box so that any info goes to the PO Box. 3. If you use your address, make sure it always says "In Care Of" 4. If he was audited, use your POA and tell the Auditor to FIX it. Give the Auditor the correct address. 5. Get another big check from your client.... RIch

I am shocked, *shocked*, to find gambling on the premises. Oh, wait, my winnings... https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2017/06/26/irs-private-debt-collectors-accused-of-pressuring-taxpayers-breaking-the-law/#428eb5252aeb For those who don't like to click links, here is the first paragraph-and-a-bit from Forbes: A new law which went into effect this year directs the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to hand over some unpaid tax bills to private agencies for collections. The law was pushed through despite the failures of past privatization efforts and despite concerns about what privatization efforts might mean for taxpayers (including those recently expressed by Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George and National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson). It appears those concerns were not unfounded.

What if he was a renter at that property? Something seems out of place here. Even for the IRS, this level of stupidity is unusual. They had to check the title of the property they are putting a lien on. Tom Newark, CA
