Last year, I made a $10 mistake on my personal tax return that resulted in the IRS demanding $175 in penalties. Although it’s cheaper and probably smarter to send them a check, I just couldn’t let it go. Especially since according to the tax code, I don’t owe any penalties.
When I experience an injustice, I tend to fight until it gets resolved. But unfortunately, I’m battling the IRS.
Poor service, incompetence, and the opportunity for IRS personnel to hang up when they lack answers has made my battle extremely frustrating.
In Luke 6:31, Jesus said, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
Although I’m sure many IRS employees take verbal abuse at times, imagine if they would consider how they would want to be treated.
