I work in a hallway with other business. On the outside door there was a note stuffed in the door frame, from the local IRS office saying she had stopped by and no one was in.I am suppose to call her Monday. No papers, no notice, no anything.
Anyone heard of this before?

I was at a lawn care business conference ealier this year and they had an IRS person there to do a little presentation on record-keeping, deductions, common misconceptions, etc. and answer some general questions. One thing that struck a cord was that he said the IRS is making more of an effort to check on the "little guys" in the business world especially if they do a lot of cash transactions and have seasonal (read paid under the table and/or of questionable immigration status) employees.
In fact, now that I think of it, there was an article in Lawn & Landscape a couple months ago with an article about a lawncare operator who was paid a visit by the IRS, accounted all of his trials and tribulations and opened his eyes to what he should have been doing.
Good luck! Hopefully it's much ado about nothing, although I don't suspect it was just a friendly visit by the local agent.
