Pissed!

Today I got a nice thick envelope from the IRS, and I think. "Crap, this can't be good." I mean, they normally do not think to send you a nice long letter flowing with kind words about how hard you work to help fund the government. I open it.

"...information we have does not match entries on your 2004 Form 1040A. If this information is correct, you will owe $942."

Can I make my tax preparer pay the money since it is his data entry mistake? Through my investigation of our documents I see that we gave him the correct data, he just didn't read it, or understand, it correctly. Since he has no kids left at home, pretty much owns his own home, and takes vacations to CA...can I make him pay?!

I am going to call him and point out his error (nicely). I wasn't planning on trying to fork out another $100 bucks more or less every month till it gets paid. Oh, and it earns...interest.

Plus, will he have made other errors? Ohhh! It steams me!
