Also wanted to thank macuser for his excellent delineation and effort in this thread. I wanted to believe him on his first reply in the thread. But it took some more reading of ALL his posts and some extra help from others to convince me. I get a bit paranoid with the IRS.
I think I have IRS PTSD from the days when I ran a business and my accountant somehow forgot to fill in the Unemployment payments I'd made on employees. The IRS sent me a notice I had 10 days to respond or face possible fine and or jail time.
I promptly sent the IRS an explanation of the missed entry along with a copy of the canceled check previously paid to my State's Unemployment fund.
The IRS responded a month later stating that they had received my letter and canceled check and that they would look into the matter and respond within 60 days.
