This doesn't answer the question. Scenario: 2021 taxes prepared by a tax consultant. We receive a refund. We are even with the Government. Now, I receive a LT38 document that says I owe money plus a penalty. Why?? Pandemic or no pandemic, we didn't owe money. And if we did, why did we not receive a notice informing us that our taxes were figured incorrectly and how they were figured incorrectly?? Instead we get a bill with a huge penalty for not paying?? This does not make sense. There is no explanation. I've called the IRS for days and will be on hold for 2 hour increments before they hang up on me. I have been on hold for over 8 hours total. I even called them at 8am when they opened. I was on hold until 10am. I called back and was on hold until noon. How do I rectify this scenario?
