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.

Some thoughts by orangejubilee

I think they are hung up because it would be past due if unpaid, might affect scoring, but not sure. I would think that showing the payment from your bank account would be sufficient, but technically that could be for anything, and they may want to see if you were assessed penalties maybe? I'm not calling you out, but the "variety of reasons that aren't totally relevant" seems to gloss over how you paid your taxes like 6-7 months later. From a super stringent view, there is nothing showing that most recent payment went toward 2017 taxes.

I'm assuming they got transcripts of your returns for the last couple years. Perhaps besides the recent payment, you could put together your last 3-4 years returns and match them to the bank transactions showing refunds/payments made in those amounts. If you match the amounts exactly for several years then that should lead to comfort as to the last payment being for 2017. Just an idea if you are jammed up.
