My wife got two letters from the IRS last week and a number to call. It was about payments through PayPal and Square. When she called the number she asked what needed to be done and the lady who answered asked her about the payments (some for $5k+) and my wife explained they were for marketing services and asked what we needed to do. They IRS person asked how we claimed them on our fillings from 2018 and 2019, then asked what what forms we filled for both PayPal and Square (1099-K’s). Then asked us to add and addendum to those fillings. Ok we will do that, what more do we need to pay we ask? IRS person says you can either file addendums or just pay the additional taxes. This is like 20 minutes on the phone. we say we’ll just pay, what do we owe? She says I can send you a letter saying what you owe.
WTF. If you know what I owe before sending me the letters (and she knew my answers to all her own questions), then why don’t you just tell me what we owe from the beginning? You can see everybody who files payments to me, just tell me what I owe or have that number that I owe and let me file from there with my deductions.
