I'm going through that 'process' now-- just to start an online IRS account. As mentioned, my phone number did not work with their system, so it claims I will get a ye olde letter at some point. Keep in mind, this is all just so I can try to find out where that $600 went.
These people have the power to audit us, but apparently don't have the ability to see that the bank rejected the deposit transaction, or see that the check number (now well-expired after 90 days) was never cashed.
