The Georgia Dept. of Revenue sent me a weird, random letter demanding that I show up at their office in Athens on June 12th to produce “sales and use” documentation for Tangerine Computer Services. There was also a “payment envelope included for [my] convenience,” but no dollar amount anywhere.
Now, if you’ve known me for a while, you might know that TCS hasn’t existed since roundabout 2002 (but the domain lives on, as you can see).
Obviously I cannot go to Athens on June 12th. I called the number (they actually had someone’s direct line, with their name listed) and left an earnest voice mail last night, and now I wait.
The timing of all this just seems extremely weird. I’m trying not to get paranoid. Last night at dinner Rusty mentioned that if the government wanted to silence all the dissenters, a great way to do it would be to sic the IRS on them.
I don’t know wtf this is about and I hope to get it resolved as soon as possible, because Tangerine Computer Services has been defunct for years and I cannot take much more stress-inducing shit being piled on.

What the fuck?
Okay, I just remembered this. Years ago, when a friend and I had a small business, we filled out some tax forms for the state, but then when we decided to close shop, we had to go back to the state capital and fill out some other forms saying that we were closing. I think we even had to pay $75 to go out of business.
Yep, that’s correct. You’ll have to dissolve the business. Hope they don’t screw ya for duckets in the process.
I’m sorry, hon. I hope you get this solved! My fingers are crossed for ya.
Well, gee, that’s the kind of thing that would’ve been nice to know 4 years ago.
Hey, Nixon was an old pro at this. Anytime you have an agency that’s essentially unaccountable to anyone and able to basically ruin people’s lives with minimal oversight you have a recipe for a politicized disaster…
First they came for the sex-positive, feminist, geek grrls…
I once got a letter from the IRS asking for reporting for a company that was just an unregistered fictious name. The only record of the name was along with my real name on a domain name registration with Network Solutions. Apparently the IRS was sifting through domain name registrations and comparing tax records — freaky as hell! I’ve never formed an entity. Anyway, I ignored it and it went away.
I screwed up something with my taxes a few years ago; it took three years for them to get back to me saying I owed them like 9,000. fortunately it seems to have been straightened out. hopefully contacting them before the deadline will be enough to get them off your ass.
