Damn the man

So every time I think I'm going to maybe get ahead a little financially I fall back instead. I was all excited about moving out this fall and finally being able to afford to pay rent somewhere. Then I got a notice in the mail from the SC Dept. of Revenue. They're claiming I owe them almost $1000 from 2005. I think it's a mistake because of what they're claiming I earned in 2005 is double what I actually earned. Still it's incredibly disheartening and I had a pretty good breakdown about it last night. Anyway, moving has been put on hold indefinitely. Mom wants me to stay through the spring and that way, after I pay the bastards at the state, I can actually save some money for a rainy day. We'll see what happens.

Ugh! What a pain! That just doesn't sound right that you would owe that much money from one year. Hopefully, that'll get fixed and you won't have to wait to move.

Actually it's technically owing $1000 on 4 months of work (since I started working at The Citadel in September).

We think that the IRS reported my earnings from California as income that was earned in S.C.

It's a mess but I think it can be fixed.

Ahh, good. That sounds like it should be easy to clear up (as easy as dealing with the IRS can be, anyway).

Here's hoping. I'm trying to stay positive.
