Gotta love the IRS

[unixronin]

When E-filing your 2008 Federal taxes, you use the AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) from your 2007 Federal return as an "electronic signature".  OK, simple enough.

So, naturally, if you filed an amended tax return for 2007 that changed your AGI, you use the correct, amended AGI.

Right?

Wrong.

This is the government we're talking about.  You use the original, un-amended AGI.  Even if it's wrong.

Because using the CORRECT AGI will cause the IRS to reject your return.

Your tax dollars at work out getting hookers and blow.

I was going to mention the mesozoic myself -- hell, some of us _still_ don't have cell phones.

I can get in to so much more trouble now than when I was younger that I enjoy the safety net of the cell phone.

Up here I could freeze to death if the car dies. I could get hit by another car and pushed off the road down in to a valley and not be found for days.

Well, I usually have a 2-meter FM amateur radio transceiver in my car . . .
