CBS: IRS Loses Couple’s Return 4 Times, Then Sends Threatening Letter

Another great example of inept government bureaucracy. Imagine if you were Eric and Robin Bjerke.

The Bjerkes owed in 2010, and the IRS cashed their check.  But the government keeps claiming they never received the paperwork with it.  Eric says he’s mailed it in three times and Robin has even physically walked it into an IRS help office one more time.

“I said, ‘They have lost this multiple times. I’m handing this to you to make sure that it gets there.’” recalls Robin.

But then they got another letter from the IRS, threatening that the Bjerkes would lose the $920 credit for they paid for the 2010 tax year if they didn’t send in the paperwork.

How is it a federal agency can be so inept? Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association explained to CBS.

“Like any government agency, there’s no competition. This is not like you have a choice between going to Sears and Walmart,” said Coupal.

This is the agency that will be key to administering ObamaCare.
