Auditor Supervisor response

Since I am not a crook they will give me more time.

The very same day I wrote the letter and faxed it, May 15, George Hary sent me the first dated letter I have received from these people.  This one is dated May 15.

 

After receiving the tax bill of over $8000 for deposits to my personal bank account that were not identified I had three days to justify or pay the bill according to their policy, so I wrote the letter, and received this special dispensation giving me more time to deal with their unreasonable policies.

 

I spoke with George Hary about 9 AM and in the course of that conversation he told me his boss, Tax Division Chief Bruce Innes, had made the unreasonable policies, so I asked to speak to this man.

 

I called, left voice mail, and he called back.  Although he was polite and competent, he kept making maddening conditional statements like “if” there had been, say, $30k in discrepancies in the findings they would not give me this time.  I responded that “if” I was hiding something I wouldn’t have allowed them in.  He didn’t get it.  He said “no one said you were hiding anything”, and I said “no one said there were $30k in discrepancies, I don’t like your conditional statements.

 

The point is their policies are unreasonable and I intend to continue this fight.  — Kent
