IRSpionage

my thoughts on the irs, in a nutshell.
1. they are so huge and bureaucratic that they don't even have an address, just a zip code
2. the remittance slip does not even fit properly into the window of the envelope. this is bewildering. like they're setting you up to fail. the back of the envelope states that you should be sure that "the return address shows through the window". is this a joke?
3. even the (ill fitting) envelope has a form number (e-205)

fumes.

In requiring you to print your return address after they've already pre-addressed the form, are they expecting failure? And if so, who is to blame- the postal service, the IRS, or you for not double checking that they printed their address correctly?

i'm saying that the irs expects the return address to show through the window but the paper they print on and expect to show through the window doesn't even fit correctly. it's outrageous and solely the problem of the irs.

Yes, i agree, this is an IRS problem.
