How much more frustrating can the irs be!!!!!

Good Afternoon!

I am hoping that someone else on this forum will have some helpful info.

Long story short - my husband I won some hand pays in Vegas for the 2014 year - being Canadian we filed all the correct forms with all the correct information. Well our IRS certified accountant did and sent them off. We have now been waiting over a year for our refund. We did receive letter's in December informing us that our refund would now be issued in 6 months with interest. Frustrating...but okay whats another 6 months.

Three day's ago my husband received a letter to notify him that they have eliminated the amount shown on the Form 1040NR, US Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return, Line 62 in the amount of...and that the information we supplied does not match the information they had received from the 1042-S, Foreign Person's US Source Income Subject to Withholding, filed by your withholding agent. (The Wynn)

Today I received the exact letter!!!!!

When our accountant contacted the IRS the other day and asked them to explain...they could not and they also stated they could not find my husbands papers. As if! Is no one accountable at the IRS and how is this legal?

Sorry for the rant, but it is a nice chunk of change they are withholding from us.

If any other Canadians are having the same experience - please let us know how you are or have dealt with this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Touche22 is having same issue he just got a damn letter today too

That's terrible. Hopefully it's some sort of glitch but with the corrupt dummies heading the IRS, they might have just enacted a new regulation to try to screw you out of it. Maybe they hope you'll give up. Our country is $19T in debt and counting so anything can happen. Sounds like a sure fire way to screw up tourism IMO.

I got an IRS audit letter today. (I'm also Canadian) for my 2014 return that is now 2 yrs owing. I need to provide proof of losses (slots - i mean WHO wins lol)
They also won't allow one of my 1042 forms because they don't have the supporting doc from the Casino. This was for $1700. Total and utter bullshit.
Tryster is right though, If this continues this way and I'm not given the money I'm owed then i have already gambled my last cent in the US.

Is there a thread on VMB? May be time to start one @touche22 and get a head count then decide how to battle it

Sorry to hear that Canadians are having a rough time of it. But I can assure you that if you owed the IRS money they would surely collect it pronto. This much I know, and @treyster is right - the U.S. Treasury is beyond broke and has been technically bankrupt for quite a few years. It's all about to come to a head though. If anyone cares to follow the carnage you can check out the website "Zero Hedge".

OH no.....this is terrible.

I have the same problem...as if they lost it. I agree with you - what is the point of giving them our money that they are not supposed to take? Have you contacted them again? I contacted the Wynn and they are resending our info and they told me that this was not the first phone call of this nature they have had this week. Keep me posted...
