Due to my laziness in filing income tax, I had to pay interest. I sent a check, but at the same time the IRS decided to save me the trouble and deducted the amount from the economic stimulus payment. Now the end of the year approaches, and I want to know what to do. The following choices seem reasonable:
1) Write to the IRS and explain the situation, and ask for their help. 2) Count the amount withheld as estimated tax/overpayment, and deduct it from the 2008 income. 3) Kiss my seven dollars and thirty cents goodbye.- posted
