"We Changed Your Account"

Came home early today and found a letter from the IRS.

"Official Business," the envelope said. "Penalty for Private Use, $300." Well, that certainly put me in a relaxed frame of mind.

Tearing the envelope open, I noticed the following words: "We Changed Your Account"

Uh-oh. They must have found a problem with my amended return. But I kept reading and soon enough I realized that it was simply a notice that they had accepted my amended 2002 return and the check for $2,268 is in the mail. Or on its way to direct deposit.

Whew!

Why can't they just say that upfront?
