Well I see it like this when I was a week late on paying for a lost w-2that the tax preparer lost and was not covered under the gold plan , it was 1000.00 I owed initially . By the time I was finished it was 3000.00 plus I paid back to them threw payments ,and of course a penalty and because I had moved and it took awhile to find me as they said they put a levey on my accounts . So that cost me . During the payments I was late twice the first time they told me they could take me of payments if it was late again. The chewed me out like I was a kid . The second time they charged me more money and said if it happened again they were taking me off and will want the full amount up front withing so many days . If I did not make that deadline they would or could take my house and auction it off and other assets bla bla so really I don't care what their excuse is mine is now 160 days late and I hope they have interest on it and maybe I'll go choose a part of a government building or something. Sound stupid ? Maybe . But I have no feeling for the government on this situation. Not after the way they treated me. I had a business for 22 years and this pandemic took it in one day it was over. It's ruined me and do u think I could get help or some of the other small businesses I work along , nope . I have no respect for our government anymore and they should've been better prepared and made sure they could handle the work load .. As they told me I should've been more carful and went over what they had done. They can do what they want we are their sheep and those status excuses aren't even close to exepitable. They are there to make you think there's hope until they actually get you your taxes. A first grader could've came up with a better plan to keep you informed. I can't believe I'm reading so many that are taking up for them . The actual people working on our taxes ,I thank and appreciate their hard work but the government those that think they are running this country and think they are doing a good job and make these dum status excuses are whom I'm talking about. We need to be harder on them to straighten up and get things right cuz this year has been a total joke and seems to me is just another ploy to keep us begging and all our attention to this when they are really doing something else they don't want us to see and maybe if everyone would start to complain about these things it might help to change things for the better. Smh
