[NFB-Talk] IRS Lawsuit

[Karen Rose]

Hi. This is Karen one of the three people in the lawsuit. :-) Actually, it is my policy specifically not to read anything in print. Anyone who knows me will send things by email. Snail mail is completely outdated, and anyone contacting me is probably contacting occupant and not me. I will not read government correspondence that is in snail mail format because I believe that snail mail is completely unnecessary

I went through this once and ended up owing $2300 in taxes. That was the mother of shockers.  Fortunately, I was able to pay it immediately, but it was a nasty surprise.  But it does seem like there is a dual responsibility here, a big part of which lies with the IRS, but also to an extent with the blind taxpayer.
