I unfortunately KNOW what I am talking about. We got a letter from the IRS and either did not open it, or whatever. So sometime later we received an official letter from them telling us we owed them money and they were putting interest on unless it was paid ASAP. We called the number they gave us and got a full and complete explanation, and we did indeed owe them money!
Slight Correction..............The IRS does make calls. Never say Never. I have received calls from the IRS relating to a business return. I have not heard the IRS calling regarding personal returns. Just a FYI.
