So? All that means is that some heuristic caught you. Appeal this. >To make a long story longer, this method ended up costing me $183. Ouch! Tax paid is tax paid. Just because some fuckwit in Sudbury thinks you owe $183 doesn't mean that you do. Get a tax lawyer (perhaps). This is nonsense. >Be sure not to use the quarterly payment method unless they WARN you to >do so. They always give you a one year grace period (but you must >pay after they warn you). Absolutely. A friend on an NSERC has not paid quarterly for 4 years, but he would have had to pay quarterly this year if he hadn't graduated. It takes them a while to catch on. >Todd Heatherton Department of Psychology University of Toronto -- Chris Shaw cdshaw@alberta.UUCP University of Alberta CatchPhrase: Bogus as HELL !
