Subject: BLAGUES-L: Nothing more certain than death AND taxes

[From the Wall Street Journal, January 29, 1992]

The widow of a man who had been a client of Harab, Kamerow & Associates,
CPAs, Rovkville, Md., filed a return for her late husband in 1991.  Here
are excerpts from a letter addressed recently to the dead man by the IRS's
Taxpayer Assistance Section in Atlanta:
	"We are processing you gift tax return, Form 709, for calendar
	year 1990 and find we need more information.  Please provide
	your date of death.
	"...If we do not hear from you, your account may reflect 
	incomplete or incorrect information. ... If you have any questions
	about this lettter, ... you may call the IRS telephone number
	listed in your local directory..., but the office at the address
	shown on this letter is most familiar with your case. ... We
	apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you, and 
	thank you for your cooperation."
