I Hate the Internal Revenue Service

Everything is not political. My problem sourced from my neglect, not from any difficulty or confusion with identifying tax breaks. However, now my problem is getting any info out of the IRS, which is a likely a problem caused by budget cuts approved by Congress as Superchuck just pointed out. But you go on blaming the just the Republicans for every little problem there ever was, is or ever will be. All I ask is that you go do it somewhere else because it's not relevant to the thread that I started.

I'm not really sure why you're catching flack about this, and I think it should stop.

As to the problem, when you file an amended return, I think you presume its accurate unless they tell you otherwise. If your amended return results in a tax credit back to you, just consider that on your ledger.

In other words, let's say the amended returns yield $10K in credit back to you, just picking an easy round number. When you file your next return, consider that $10K already there to be used for taxes you might owe. I think that's how CPAs typically do it. They don't wait on IRS to comment on the amended return.
