Sometimes, it pays to check your bank statements when you file taxes. Anyway, I sent this letter along with my ‘06 tax payment. I thought you guys might enjoy it.

I totally am sorry I didn’t pay those taxes you graciously found for me. I’m sure looking through all those 1099s from companies vs. persons sucked. Whoever did that project probably got rather bored (srly, so boring). You could probably farm that out to India, I bet that would be cheap.

Well, you’re totally right, and I re-did everything in TurboTax ‘06 just to verify (they totally sent me a CD for a version I totally didn’t pay that much for, it was freakin’ aweseom, all next-day and everything!). But there is a small discrepancy, and I know how you gusy like to be exact. So, if you look at the attached forms of the original and re-done dealios (ie. 1040ez formz) you’ll see:

Original Refund: 4031.00
New Refund: 3048.00
Difference: 983.00
YOUR Difference: 984.00 (that doesn’t equal 983.00, trust me, I tried it out)

SO, then, I was like “how do they calculate that darn interest”. So I found forms 6601 and 6621, then I saw your crazy-ness interest rate changing (zomg man geese, make it easy on a guy). Once I found a calculator, it seemed my interest liability on the 983billz was $92.67. SOOOO

Difference: 983.00
Interest: 92.67
Total: 1075.67
YOUR Total: 1078.00 (not 1075.67, again, no-dice)

That’s like $3 difference (wait, sorry, $2.33), but I figure, since all I did was a 1040EZ I’d only be doing you a favor in finding a minute difference and making you read my sweet excuse letter. Since I’m sure my form was like, totally boring (other than I jumped that tax bracket on the new return, that was fun, huh? $468 so close! srsly, so close! roflcopters! I checked like 4 times, no joke… nothing like lolcatz, srsly, I swear by ceiling cat, so close!).

Anyway, if you feel/think/know/proclaim/prophesy/or-just-plain-don’t-like-me feel free to call me (redacted), or email me (redacted), or mail me (gross! don’t mail me!) to tell me I’m full of crap and should pay the $2.33. I promise, I totally won’t be mad, but I may itemize next year (yeah, probably not).

P.S. - Sorry the cat chewed on your form, she tends to eat mail that dips into her ‘nip budget, inorite, she should quit.
