Serious IRS program glitches
Is it just me or are any of you also beginning to receive CP2000 letters from the IRS that appear to be an error on their part?One of my clients received correspondence for unreported income where the IRS claimed that a 1099 was not included in his return. It was included on the Sch C (where it belonged) but for some reason the IRS computer missed the entry which was properly entered.Another client had the IRS ask for proof of mortgage interest claimed. On this return, another Sch C, a percentage of the interest was deducted on the 8829 and the balance on the Sch A.I know from media reports that the IRS had problems with 2005 refunds being sent out when they should have been held due to a program failure. I'm just wondering how to find out from them what other problems they are having with the 2005 program.This is very serious for us, the preparer, because the client thinks we are making the mistake, the client is paying to have these issues corrected and the IRS is not going to reimburse the taxpayer my fees for the IRS mistakes.taxea
