This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Long shot -- IRS help? by LondonDomer
We are in the process of purchasing a new home -- closing is scheduled for tomorrow.
Suddenly, the underwriter wants proof that my IRS tax bill from last year (a sum of about $3K) has been paid. Do to a variety of reasons that aren't totally relevant, I did not make the actual payment until about 4 weeks ago, but it has been fully paid.
However, when I log into my online IRS account it shows my 2015 balance as $0, my 2016 balance as $0, and my 2017 balance as "INFO." When I click on info, it says my information is unavailable at this time. A transcript of my tax account does not show the payment.
Of course, the IRS is shut down. Getting someone on the phone is impossible. I don't know what to do. Any one have any ideas?
