SNAFU straight ahead.

C'mon Tom. It's the gub'ment. You know nothing can go wrong.

I just thought I would try to clear up some misconceptions about the way the IRS works.

From the kiddie campfire song: "The nearest branch was ten feet up; I'd have to jump and trust my luck... I missed that branch away up there... Now don't you fret; now don't you frown - I caught that branch, on my way DOWN!"

My first thought is someone with a dependent used the same account for direct deposit. Maybe a grown child or ex. Ok, no, that thought was way down the line. Let's be honest here.

Yeah, my bank is paying 00.01 %

Multitasking means doing many things poorly

We recently had a client who had rented an office building to a nonprofit and eventually donated it to them. He got the certified appraisal (40 pages worth) that I told him he needed. However, the appraiser refused to sign Part IV of the 8283, claiming he didn't appraise it for IRS purposes or something like that. I believe the two of them are battling it out now about why the client paid for an appraisal to certify FMV and now the appraiser won't attest to it. Have your client hire an appraiser very carefully!
