I have a client who has had ongoing payroll tax issues (since at least 2002). While we were busy correcting the 2002 mess (in late 2004/early 2005) the IRS decides to nab, without notification to TP, 4 941 payments and send them to never, never land ('Excess Collections Department").
This went unnoticed by TP until the notices started coming in for that year. It took a ton of digging to figure out that while the $$ went to the IRS, the IRS didn't apply it anywhere.
We got that straightened out (8 weeks to get it out of never, never land) and now the IRS wants to hit my client with late penalties on those payments.
While I'm confident that we can get some of that abated, I never cease to be amazed at the ways the IRS keeps me billable. I should put them on my Christmas card list!
