My 2003 income tax was incomplete and needed to be filed by April 15th, 2007 but I didn't get around to filing it until late May/early June because I didn't have the fee for HR Block. IRS says I don't owe(am due a refund) but that the Statute of Limitations Law allows me to file up to 3 years late, and I was 3 months over(so, they're holding it)... I talked to an IRS attendant & she gave me the address to write to the IRS Service Center/collections. She suggests that I don't just say that I forgot or that I didn't know, b/c "ignorance of the law is no excuse", as she stated. So now the IRS is holding my return money from that year, but I really need it asap. ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS TO THAT LIMITATIONS LAW which I could use in my letter. It was an honest mistake but it doesn't give them the right to keep my hard earned money. Some1 plz help ASAP. Maybe you know of the limitations laws and can enlighten me on what would possibly work?? Maybe my situation alone was good enough?
