Yeah, everyone complains about the IRS, but when I've had issues and contacted a human, they've been extremely polite and helpful. I got audited [1] a few years ago, which I was expecting to be a nightmare, but I was able to call an office, chatted with a human for a bit, and they walked me through what I had to do to fix it. A few e-faxes later, everything was resolved. People love to complain about government incompetence, but I think it's easy to forget that fundamentally it's "just humans" behind the scenes, and most humans aren't sociopaths. [1] Forgot to add a document for a deduction I did, totally my fault.
