Is that a check[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#17)
by Anonymous User on Mon Dec 10, 2007 at 10:24:12 AM PDT

There was a case a few years ago where a fellow went to his bank and got it down properly so it would be cashed. He wrote a check on the back of his shirt. He went to the meeting with the IRS and in the end literally gave them the shirt off his back. They refused to accept it. He refused to leave until they gave him a signed letter that he'd offered them full payment for his taxes due and they'd refused to accept the payment. They checked with the bank and found out that it was in fact a legitimate check. The next week they called him back and agreed to take the shirt off his back, but of course wanted more $$$ for interest and penalties. He produced the letter noting that they'd refused payment and finally agreed to settle for the original amount due.
