Freaky Mail Award for the Year
Received in yesterday’s mail an envelope from the IRS:

Probably a phishing scam…
Seems unlikely since it came in the mail and already has an SS# on it and such. If they were phishing they’d just steal my identity. It looks just like the reports in format that I got back from my amended returns so I think it’s a clerical error of some sort.
