I got a bill from my friends at the Department of Revenue Services. You will remember I just went through a full audit from April through August this year, 2012. Well it is time to have trouble with them again. Check out this bill. 
So what is this bill for? I read it and examined it and since it said “for inquiries” I decided to inquire what it was for and called (860) 297-4771 and hit the 2 key. Refresshingly someone answered right away, but she was very, very curt. She asked the notice number and said that I had been ond day late paying sales tax in October. I said, no, I remembered that I had gone on line…. She said HOLD.
Then there was Danny on the line. I asked who was that rude young woman? He said it was Pat. So then I explained how the online service had told me, for the first time ever in 18 years of paying taxes monthly, that the taxes were NOT paid. And I was not logged on to the site. So I decided to print a check and mail it. Apparently you guys didn’t get it in three days…
So Danny says the process for appeals is “cumbersome” and I said I like cumbersome processes. He said I had to do it on line and I said I preferred to do it by mail. He said that is not possible, so I just verified his name and Pat’s name and thanked him for his time. 30 seconds later the phone rang and it was Danny. He said he was mistaken there was a mail form and he would mail me one. I thanked him.
So I will let you all know how I make out.
