Who’s on First
Today was the deadline for filing our taxes and contributing to the AIG executive bonus fund. I hope everyone got their taxes done on time. Because it’s tax day, I thought I’ll share a recent phone call to the IRS.
Me: I got a letter stating I over paid my taxes.
IRS: Which form?
Me: 1120.
IRS: The name of your company and tax ID?
Me: Blah, blah, blah.
IRS: One moment please while I look up your record. [music] OK, according to our records, you had a tax balance of zero and you made a payment of $xxx,xxx,xxx.
Me: I did make a payment of $xxx,xxx,xxx, but that’s because I had a tax amount due of $xxx,xxx,xxx. It’s on line 34 of the form I completed.
IRS: Hmmm. For some reason, our computer show an amount due of zero for line 34. Let me check with someone. Please hold. [music again] OK, they made an error and entered zero due instead of $xxx,xxx,xxx. I will put a hold on your credit and send you a letter.
Me: OK. That’s it right? I don’t need to do anything else.
IRS: No. You need to send my letter to the IRS and explain the problem.
Me: I thought I am talking to the IRS.
IRS: You are, but you need to send the letter to a different department.
Me: So you’re going to send me a letter. Then I’m suppose to send the letter back to the IRS?
IRS: Correct.
Me: Who’s on first.
IRS: What?
Me: What’s on second. Who’s on first.
IRS: I don’t understand. You’re confusing me.
Me: Really? Now, you know how I feel.
I should have just kept the refund and bought a small island in the tropics. But I was afraid the IRS might audit and castrate me, and then banish me to a planet full of stinky diapers.

I should go live on that “Lost” island. The IRS won’t be able to find me there.
Classic.
Hugs,

Last year, the IRS was off by two digits in my favor on another form.
I thought you already lived on that island of stinky diapers.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Luckily, the diapers are not stinky yet.
Hahahahaha … I didn’t get my taxes done on time but I will make up for it …

Oh no. I hope the taxman doesn’t kidnap you and make you fill out several million forms.
That is just beautiful. I’m hiring you to call people for me from now on!
But it didn’t help and the IRS probably put me on their audit list.
What a pain in the butt! Glad you got it sort of worked out.
