We live in an electronic society where everything revolves around computers. This is also true for your relationship with the IRS.

The IRS computer is programmed to automatically make changes to your taxes when it receives information that varies from your tax return. It will automatically increase your taxes and assess penalties and interest against you. Your SS number as all that is required to plug you into any IRS classification.

It does this without feeling. It does this without remorse. And it will do this without looking for facts and circumstances that may actually prevent it from increasing your tax or assessing penalties against you. It's programmed that way.

And nobody at the IRS will take a second look at the demand letter the computer creates before it is sent to you.

Just ask the programmers at Diebold.

I will try to update this within 30 days ... if all the hoops are jumped through correctly.

If not, the homeless do not have the luxury of internet access.
