ORIGINAL: anarchyintheuk Somewhat related to disgruntlement. My 08 return had to be amended because I forked up the routing number. So I amend it and send it in . . . nope can't amend, must use 1040X . . . sent in 1040X . . . nope, should have amended return, not used a 1040X . . . arghh. Anyway, finally talked to an IRS gargoyle who said they received my return and that is was being processed in the Austin service center. This occurred last week of Jan. To make a long story somewhat shorter . . . you can guess what the next IRS gargoyle that I spoke to said when I called about the status last week. I seriously doubt the plane hit my return but suspect a standard governmental use of tragedy as an excuse. I used to have to request a lot of documents from a governmental depository in Ft. Worth. Whenever I had a particularly difficult/important one to find they invariably said that it was lost with all the other documents in some warehouse fire in 1969. Happened repeatedly. BTW, great euphemism. The IRS rep never used the word 'lost' to describe my return, only 'disassociated'. Lost would imply error I imagine. I asked the rep what my return had been associated with in order to become disassociated, he didn't know. Unfortunately, it's stuck in my head and I'm using it now. I think it was associated with the fact that you were giving them more work. Now, since they politely (I assume) told you to f**k off, its no longer associated.
