Gawd......that must be killing you guys! So much for the driver too I guess!?
I can empathize, having been thru a "mother of all audits" for my business back in the early/mid-90s! IRS seems to pick on small businesses who won't spend money for troops of lawyers - like the big corps. can do, & they love to do so in down economies! A....holes! But don't be afraid to take it to appeal, because you may get it knocked down some or all, and you won't need a lawyer until the next step after appeal - Tax Court, which I felt wasn't worth it even though I was screwed & the IRS appeals officer flat out refused to review all my documentation proof "because it was too much work"! AA......holes!
Good luck on both fronts!
Hey - I saw that "Drop-kick Murphy's" logo on someone's sig. Is that by any chance a Rugby Pub? ...& if so, where is it at?
I ask, cuz I played college/grad school, 1st Div. Club & Old Boyz for 26 years here in SoCal. ....mostly Scrumhalf ....that's Halfback for the Aussies & Kiwis!
