Today, I found out that the "IRS scam" that I ignored last week was actually not a scam, and now I have a warrant out for me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I have a warrant for my arrest, because I was fishing without a fishing license. FML
Today, I got a letter from the IRS informing me that I owed a debt of $80 dollars from 4 years ago, and that it has now grown to over $800 dollars, and it's due this month. FML
Today, I found out that I owe the IRS money due to my previous job not taking enough taxes out. I am broke, unemployed, and was counting on a big refund so I could pay for my divorce. FML
Today, getting home from a long day at work, I checked the mail and saw three envelopes from the IRS. Apparently I now owe over $4,000. I only have $2 in my bank account. FML
Today, I found out I owe the IRS over $2,000 because of a mistake they made. Their "apology" basically amounted to "Oops, our bad. Now pay up or you're gonna be Bubba's new bitch." FML
Today, I found out that I owe the government money and that the amount will increase if I miss the deadline two months ago. FML
Today, I got the letter from the IRS that would FINALLY enable me to get the tax return I was supposed to get two weeks ago because they needed to confirm my identity. I logged on, entered the information, and was told that I would get my return… after "up to 9 weeks for processing." I need to pay bills NOW. FML
Today, I was told there was a bench warrant out for my arrest because a notice to appear for jury duty was sent to my old address and I never responded. I haven't lived at my old address for 2 years. FML
Today, I found out that my tax filing status was never changed after my divorce. This means I haven't been paying enough and now the government wants its money. FML
Today, I found out that my employers apparently haven't been taking enough money out of my paychecks, and now I owe thousands of dollars in taxes. I already live paycheck to paycheck despite doing nothing but work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well with the amount of fake ads there are out there I don't blame you. It's uncanny how many times I've been 'chosen' for a free iPad.

Nope. You're still being scammed. Call the IRS directly, 1-800-829-1040 . Report the scam to them, then file a police report if they ask you to.

Well... unless op knows he has been cheating on his taxes... then maybe op should check out the Cayman Islands or Belize.

I hope OP read the comments here before doing anything. As has already been said, you're still being scammed OP. The IRS would have sent you a letter BY POST (multiple letters usually depending on your situation) before they escalate the matter.

you don't have a warrant it's still a scam. the IRS takes forever to move on anything and will not go from letter to warrant, they would just take it out of next years tax return or garnish your wages if it was real.

Aren't scams supposed to be clever though? :(

The IRS isn't going to get a warrant issued against you, and even if they were, they wouldn't tell you about it. That's generally how warrants work...you learn about them from the issuer when you're arrested (unless of course you hear it through the grapevine or on a courts website).

You don't. That's a scam too.
