Death And Taxes
by beehive on Dec.08, 2008, under Uncategorized
There are two things in life - death, and taxes!
Well, the tax man is trying to put me in an early grave this year.
Let us retrace our steps…
- We successfully read the greedy market and had bought and sold stock in an oil trust.
- Found out that said oil trust did crazy new (to us) things to our taxes; requiring new pamphlets and forms to be completed.
- Think that you owe $3,000+ to the tax men.
- Send a check to cover your taxes along with necessary forms to file for an extension.
- Review tax forms and locate the mistake - realize that you should have gotten back money from NYS - which is now added to the money that was paid with the legally filed extension.
- Have NYS Department of Finance request yet more paperwork even though everything was fully explained on the telephone.
- Comply with NYS Department of Finance request and resubmit said new paperwork within the requested time frame.
- Get F*CKED by the USPS and several stamps worth of postage - causing a delay past the requested time frame.
- Resubmit taxes yet again along with extra extra extra postage.
- Receive a check in the mail on December 08, 2008 for $146.00 instead of the actual amount owed - over $3,200!!!
So yeah, I’m unemployed and completely getting f*cked by New York State!
Internet, I could use a hug!

Something similar happened to me. I e filed- but apparently the e file never went through and I never got an e mail telling me that. I would have never even known if I hadn’t been for the fact that I was enraged over that fact that I hadn’t received my stimulus check. Turns out, you cant get a stimulus check if you never file and apparently, I never filed according to the stupid e-file program I used. Even though it appeared to have gone through. Oops. Happens to the best of us. :o)
