One family child care provider from Minnesota got a notice from the IRS that she owed a lot of money in back taxes. She contacted the IRS several times to explain that she had paid her taxes, but she kept getting more and more threatening IRS notices saying that she still owed money. The Taxpayer Advocate Service will intercede in situations like this to resolve the problem.
