figmentFirst day went well. It included buying things for people, going to a meeting, lunch, a couple of Dreamweaver appointments, and a bottle of champagne and flowers from my new boss. It also involved a lot of work, scheduling appointments, not having enough time, and a few frustrations. But I think on the whole it was all right.
***
When I came home, I found two letters from the IRS. One tells me that this year, I may qualify for Earned Income Credit. In other words, I made a really small amount of money this year. The other letter from the IRS says that on my 2004 tax forms, I messed up and did not report some money, to the tune of owing an extra $2K in tax. Eventually, I determined that they were right. Accenture never sent me the 1099s for the money I made from them, and I got confused and thought the Accenture 1099s were rolled into the Retek 1099s (it was really complicated). However, Accenture did report that to the IRS, so it looks like I was trying to cheat the IRS. In reality, Accenture screwed up. I think I'll be sending them an unpleasant letter. If nothing else, they're the reason why I owe interest from then. The only thing saving me from getting really upset about this was that I do have the ability to pay this bill, and now I have a job so I will even be able to make the money back. It'll work out, it just sucks. And I am mad at Accenture.
***
The weekend, incidentally, it was good. It was a great combination of getting academic work done (17 pages written on my SRP!) and social time with a variety of excellent people, including the elusive (and living in Minnesota) Claude. It went very quickly but I felt very good about the combination.
***
The cherry blossoms are, in fact, gorgeous. At AU, the trees are starting to lose their petals; when the wind blows, it looks like a light pink snow is falling. Really beautiful. I do love spring in this town, even though the tourists do come out in droves.

Date: 2006-04-04 02:39 am (UTC)you might not owe it after all or at least could file something that makes it so that maybe the irs would then look at the records of the company that is (intentionally or not) screwing you.
just a thought if you want to maybe save a couple grand and it probably wouldn't hurt to call and ask.
