I have not posted here in awhile. I had to close my electrical contracting business last year. There were too many debts to pay so I closed the doors and went to work for someone else.
I had many debts with my business and this included taxes. The funny thing is I had hired a financial professional to negotiate with the IRS and got all penalties eliminated. I also had a union annuity built up and decided to use that to pay off the IRS. Well I did all of the paperwork and got my check a week later. Once the check cleared in my account I sent the payoff amount to the IRS Revenue Officer.
I mailed this out on the 21st of September. My wife kept checking our bank account online to see if the check had cleared. It never cleared but yesterday the mail got returned. The stamp said this was unclaimed mail. I then got on the phone to call my financial person Debbie who is working on this. She said that the IRS people had got sent home and she cannot do any business with them until the shutdown is over. This is a chunk of money that the government is not getting. I wonder how many other people cannot pay their taxes like me.
Returned Mail IRS
Well I guess this will get paid whenever the GOP decide to let government re-open.
I do have some family members that are not working because of this. My sister works for the BLM in Nevada and my nephew works as a fire fighter in Wyoming for the BLM also. I sure hope this ends soon.
