Don't mention the "T" word! I am currently embroiled in a major battle with the IRS for taxes they say I owe back from '93 and '94. They sent notices about this to an address I haven't lived at for 8 years and only last year pounced on my tax return for back taxes, finally making me aware of the problem. You don't even wanna know what a nightmare it is trying to recreate 11 and 12 year old financial records when everyone, self included, disacards stuff after 7 years! @#$$%@!@!#!$!$#@#
Anyhow, if I won 5 mill, I'd let the IRS have their undeserved blood money on top of what they'd normally take without a fight. Then: 1) I'd build me as energy self-sufficient house as possible on a 100 acres or so of land in Montana with a river running thru it and solid water rights. 2) Buy a couple of guns I've been wanting. 3) Make the appropriate gifts to faithful friends 4) Peel off the appropriate amount to a worthy charity 5) Invest the remainder 6) Never be heard from again

Long story short, it turns out that you really can't fight city hall. After driving around with an expired registration for 2 months, going back and forth with the powers that be, I ended up paying the freakin' tax a couple days before the end of the year so I could at least claim it as taxes paid on this years income tax returns.

What gets me is that this is obviously
1) Some wierd clerical error when inputting data into some monster government database somewhere. or 2) A major corporation up to some scam of it's own, and I and God knows how many others are merely innocent bystanders. I am listed as working for a company I never even heard of before, and when I tracked down the phone number of their corporate offices and requested a letter from them stating I had not been their employee for the years in question, they refused, saying making a statement EITHER way about my hypothetical employment would be "playing games with the IRS." What!?!
