I just submitted my dispute to the IRS
They are trying to disallow the $2,000 education credit I took while I was a full-time student in my last semester of law school.
I just submitted the letter disputing their adjustment.... and attached 25 pages of documentation. Transcripts, student account records, lender records, emails, etc. They want documentation? I can paper them with documentation.
Lesson learned: turns out my record-keeping tendencies that everybody told me were over-compulsive were not so compulsive after all.
