Saying that the IRS can be persistent is an understatement.

Back in the 80s my company was under an audit for almost that entire decade. Starting with 82, then it became 83 and wrapped up in 89, I think. Of course sometimes we didn’t hear anything for months. In the end we had incurred tens of thousands of dollars of costs to my CPA firm.

When it was all concluded with a small amount over payment being made by us, my CPA said we’ll go after them for the amount they cost you since it went on for so many years. I laughed and said sure, thinking she was joking.

Well several months later we received a check for all we had spent defending ourselves.

Not sure what the statute is called but I was glad we got even on the deal.

For the first time ever, I just reasoned out something. Around the time that all started, Winfield was my in-house CPA. There has been plenty written about him and his time with the company.

If you aren’t aware, type that name in the search bar of this group and you can be amazed at what that Marble Falls boy pulled off.
