Our business recently received a letter from the IRS informing us that we had failed to pay 204.00 in taxes. The balance HAD to be paid by the 16th in order to avoid further interest and penalties and that the interest would continue to increase. If we were unable to pay we needed to contact them immediately. Another attached page explained how the penalty and interest would be calculated. A third page was attached explaining that they HAD received our payment and applied it to our account. The past due notice had already been prepared and we should simply disregard it. They apologized for the inconvenience. These letters were all in the same envelope. I can't believe somebody didn't think to just throw it away and not send it. I think this would be funny if they weren't so powerful.
