It gets better.  The same agent called back today saying that they got
all my reports, cancelled checks etc, but they were for the wrong
year.  What???  Well, my records show that it was paid for that year
too, so its back to the bank to ask them to pull another transaction
from the archives.  (I stopped the truck and made notes about
everything the agent said.  Even it ordering me around and
interrupting me every time I tried to ask a question.)

If I wasn't actually starting to make money the last few years I would
close the doors, pay whatever they said I owed and say screw them for
any future revenue, but stupid small mind beuracrats wouldn't get it
anyway.  Atleast with a business they understand lost revenues.  The
employees may not care, but management makes that decision
consciously.
