NTR: I hate the IRS

monica93555 · December 2010

I'm about to have a panic attack! I just found out that the IRS seems to think that I owe them nearly 6 grand! Apparently they are saying that I didn't qualify for my tax credits I got from the beginning of this years tax season. That means I didn't qualify for Earned Income Child Credit or my hope scholarship from being in school. So this means I have to gather up materials and documents to argue this. I need to provide proof that I spent so much money on my school books. I bought all of them off of Amazon. Does anyone know if I can access all the receipts from 2009 from my Amazon account? TIA

FYI: I have the poeple who did my taxes helping me on gathering all this stuff but they don't know whether or not I can still access my book reciepts.

You can access all prior Amazon orders on their website. Have you tried?

I was just on there looking and trying to find a link that would take me to my recent orders but couldn't find one. Are you familiar with how to access prior Amazon orders? Will they let me access even the ones from 2009?

Yes you can get all past receipts from Amazon, just by logging into your account.

Don't panic, stay calm, gather the documentation and you have nothing to worry about.

Log in, Click on Your Account in the upper right hand corner, it will probably ask you to log in again to confirm your password, then click on the big yellow button that says Your Orders. Then in the drop down box you can choose the year you want to view. Mine goes back to 2006.

That's good that you are getting your tax files to sort this out, this will hopefully clear up any confusion. You should be able to access previous payments and info from Amazon by contacting them, if not, I think your bank statements would be able to show the amounts (but probably not the specified items purchased). Even if it won't take too much time to get your paperwork together, I would let the IRS know immediately that you got the letter. They will also try to charge you interest on top of the $6K even if you pay them immediately.

We hate the IRS as well. They claimed we owed them $8K for wrongfully claiming First Home-Buyers Credit. We claimed for '08 but bought the house in '09. Hence, the confusion. We paid them immediately but then they eventually claimed that the Home-Credit is not a 'credit' to buy a house, that is was a loan. What a bunch of crap.

Thanks everyone! I spent over 400 bucks on my books that year... funny thing is that when I filed I put 300. I doubt I'll get a penny back for that extra hundred I actually spent on books.

Pffff, stupid IRS!
