118

The recent monthly payment stub I received from the IRS according to my installment agreement had the "Notice date" of 10/19/16. Add how long it takes for that letter to reach me then think if that is practical for a payment due on the 28th. It seems a repetition play to this story HERE with the improvement that there was no post mark this time (Next time they may work on that "Notice date" thing). Anyway, I still wanted to follow the "You can pay online now at www.irs.gov/directpay" they mentioned. I spent hours yesterday and the day before entering my data and the system continued to be unable to confirm my identity. So are they inviting people to use a system that joke in being unable to recognize somebody who files like me and has been on installment agreement for years or was it another thing caused by this corruption guy? I am not sure.
After that I tried to pay using one of those commercial sites and my check card from Regions continued to be declined for no reason. But the most clear play from this corruption guy happened when I called to activate my card in case I missed to do that earlier. Here a repetition of what suggest a participation by the phone company (Phone Power) like in THIS GAME happened and for two different things. First, I kept selecting the choice number for card activation while the message kept repeating the choices as if I did not enter anything. Then when I called again this guy apparently thought rather than just that one digit selection, why not have more fun and make me repeat entering the card number and the rest of the information required to activate the card and that what happened. My selection number from the menu was recognized but then I stuck on that stage repeating my entry.  
I forgot to say, in case it was understood that I was predicting that the same thing could follow from the IRS like the earlier situation because of a late payment, I ultimately made my payment in time using the higher charge credit card option.
