A friend receives an early railroad retirement (due to a disability) and it is his only source of income. It is not subject to state taxes...but every single year...the state sends him notification that he owes them X number of dollars. Every single year he has to go through hours of phone calls...being passed from one person to the next...and mail in letters and forms. This has been happening every single year for the past ten years or so. He is getting more and more pissed each passing year.
I paid my IRS taxes this year as well as an amended taxes from 2001. After having filed the IRS told me that I owed additional monies...which I paid. They sent me another letter saying that I owed even more money. I decided enough is enough and spent hours on the phone for several different days with several different people...bottom line...instead of paying even more money...I got a substantial refund. Made my day.
