  • The IRS on Thursday unveiled plans to target wealthy “non-filers” with a new round of compliance letters.
  • Non-filers making between $400,000 and more than $1 million with unfiled federal returns from tax years 2017 to 2021 will receive the initial round of letters.
  • The agency urges recipients to take “immediate action” to avoid more letters, higher penalties and “stronger enforcement measures.”

I was audited for $35.

Were you "audited" or actually audited? So many people say they were "audited" when they actually just received a letter asking them to support what they claimed. An actual audit is a full review of absolutely everything to re-build up your returns from scratch and verify every little detail. Even for basic returns audits often take multiple days to complete.

I paid my taxes with bill pay, they cashed the checks, but didn't apply them to the tax year because apparently they need to know the year to apply it to.
