Christmas gift from the IRS

So post-divorce I found out that when we were married my XWW was secretly cashing out her retirement account and spending the money without paying income tax on it. Since we were married at the time I was legally responsible for the debt just as much as she was, even though it was hidden from me. So when that eventually caught up with us and triggered an audit (post divorce) I checked into my options and found out that the IRS has a form for an innocent spouse appeal. Yesterday I got the news that they found in my favor and all of the debt is 100% hers. This is just a reminder to anyone in a similar situation with the IRS to check out your legal options and file the appropriate paperwork in a timely manner. They were extremely helpful on the phone and 15 minutes of paperwork saved me a decent chunk of money. This is one heck of a nice Christmas present from them.

I'm not a lottery player, but no harm in throwing down a couple of bucks and seeing if this holds out! lol
That lottery comment made me laugh.

Congratulations. This is really great news for you. Your ex is getting her just reward.

I hear this kind of stuff a lot, and no doubt some experience it, but I have had basically constant contact with the IRS over the past five years due to all the crap I was left with in my divorce, and they have been nothing but helpful, a true sense of working together with me as opposed to being against me...I would take dealing with the IRS any day over dealing with any business customer support, or financials line.

Congratulations!

I neglected to claim some income on last years taxes. Consequently the IRS caught it and sent me a bill plus a substantial penalty. I was able to provide the necessary documentation and the IRS resolved both the bill and penalty. Whew!

High 5 Banana!!! Just goes to show the Sun doesn't shine up the same dog's arse all day, every day.

The sooner many people realize a D is a business deal, better off they are.

A video of her reaction when she got the bill would be priceless. Hoe is she doing managing her finance? I recall you thinking she blow it all in a year.
