Amended Tax Return

I received a late 1099-DIV after I had already filed my taxes. So I did my patriotic duty and filed an amended return. The new dividends increased my income tax by $30. Since it was foreign dividends, I had a $29 foreign tax credit. So my net increase in taxes was $1. I printed out the 1040X form, attached the appropriate documentation and included a check for $1.

The government will probably spend a couple hundred dollars processing all the paperwork and cashing the check.

Reminds me of getting the toll bill for like .85 cents. I actually put .85 cents in the envelope and mailed it back to them. They ended up mailing me like 4 or 5 letters to get it straightened out.

I was once audited by the Employment Security Commission. A lady came to my office and went over my books for nearly a week. I ended up owing them 19 cents.
