New IRS Filing Addresses
Posted by taxguru on January 21, 2009
In their annual shuffling of service center workload, IRS has just announced that taxpayers in four states have to send their 1040s to different service centers than previously.
Delaware, New York and Rhode Island now mail to Kansas City
Illinois taxpayers send their 1040s to Fresno
I checked the filing addresses in the latest copy of TheTaxBook and they actually already had the new ones in there.
For those of us who use tax prep software, that means we need to over-ride the default filing addresses in the programs for earlier tax years for those clients in those four states. The 2008 programs should be updated by the software automatically.

From Byron York at NRO:
More Questions About Geithner – Additional info, casting doubt on the “innocent mistake” defense that the media are providing for Geithner’s tax returns.
Due Diligence on Geithner – The National Review editors call for the GOP to vote against confirming Geithner. Based on the GOP’s current posture of rolling over for anything 0bambi wants, the chances of any real opposition are virtually nil.

IOUs From the PRC

Anyone hoping to spend a California tax refund should give up on that plan, or at least be very patient. According to this news release from Spidell, they are so broke in Sacramento that they will be delaying paying out tax refunds for at least 30 days.
Of course, as always, this is a one way street. Any taxes owed to the PRC must be paid in immediately or you will be faced with serious consequences.

More jokes about the new Treasury Secretary

Anyone who follows politics knows that if this were a GOP nominee, he would have already pulled his name from consideration. Since he is with the party that has no ethical standards, and the media are doing their job of covering for him, he should have smooth sailing into power. In the meantime, he has replaced Wesley Snipes as the new face of idiotic tax moves.
From Scott Ott:
From Jay Leno via NewsMax:
At his confirmation hearing, Attorney General nominee Eric Holder said that as far as he is concerned, waterboarding is torture. And Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said, “So is paying taxes.”
Geithner didn’t pay federal taxes from 2001 to 2004. He owed $34,000. But to keep his nomination afloat, he paid it this week — plus another $8,000 in interest. So that’s $42,000 the U.S. Treasury made — just like that. You know what Obama should do now? He should appoint Willie Nelson as commerce secretary. What does he owe, $28 million?
