Good 49ยบ somewhat cloudy morning.... rained windy late
yesterday. Total of 1/4" of rain.
"Angry" doesn't quite cover it. I sent in my Oregon Income Tax along with a
check and then the end of March I sent my check for my quarterly payment. I got a
letter from them saying I haven't paid them! OMG. I was ready to send copies of
the checks and a letter, but called the Department of Revenue yesterday afternoon
when I got home. Talked to a SUPER nice lady, Christy, and she said what
happened was the quarterly check was applied to 2014 instead of 2013 like it was
supposed to be and they screwed up. She said she'll fix it, call back in a week
to make sure. WHEW.
This from my friend Cyndi Moreno (yes, Pete's
wife!)....
