Question

I filed single. I got slagged by the IRS. There is a schedule A-1 attached for a "married couple with deductions" I have no idea where this came from.

Are you married?  Could you have filed Single instead of Married filing Separate?   What lines on Schedule A-1 have amounts?

I'm single - have filed single since my first filing outside of 2 marriages. I've filled single since 2005. I had an accountant look at my return - he says IRS is wrong - I am taking the nasty-gram IRS sent to me saying my earned income was more than I reported????? But thank you anyway.
