Strange letter from the IRS
I got a letter today saying I overpaid $3204.00 on my 2011 return and
they will be sending me a check. I am not sure If I should call them to see what happened or not. I looked at the return and that number does not pop out anywhere. The last time this happened they told me which lines got changed on the 1040. I can't believe there was three grand in that K1 ;-) I guess it is better to know than to get a bill in 6 more years. |

If you have partnership investments things can get very complicated. It's possible you have left money on the table in other years. I know I am leaving money on the table with this K1 but when I actually run the numbers, it ends up being a few bucks. I really have to look at that return a little closer but I can't believe I had that kind of money out of whack. I am not that rich ;-) I am going to start by asking the IRS folks and see where they came up with that number. Who knows, maybe I am leaving money on the table I don't know about. If this is the partnership, I may have to file some amended returns, and send Carl Ichan some flowers or something, |

That is what I expected too. This is not the first time the IRS has told me they owe me money. I am surprised they still audit me. I always get more money when they do. I have that return sitting here but I am waiting until it quiets down a little. I will go over it and see if I see where things went wrong ... assuming this is not just a mistake. My first thought was the check didn't clear or something but these are not the right numbers for my refund. I may get the statement with the check, I think that is how it worked in the past. This is the first time I got the letter saying a check was coming. |

That is what I am saying, There are no big numbers on the K1. It is 5 bucks here and 10 bucks there. The last time I filled out all 10 forms, it ended up being a few bucks a form. I just take the distributions as ordinary income and let Sam have the 20 bucks. .... but I may be wrong ;-) |
