Got a notice today that I had not paid my taxes due for 2011. I use an online tax service for preparation and the government Electronic Fund Transfer Payment Service which takes funds directly from my bank account and credits them to my IRS account. I have all the paperwork and confirmation of fund transfer. Got everything together and called the IRS rep. There are two problems:
Today the system is down. She suggests I call back tomorrow.
Electronic payments by EFTPS are "often credited to the wrong account".
Just thought I'd let others know - If you get a letter from the IRS, don't panic. Just make sure you save a printed copy of EVERYTHING.
