Copied from another list. Ed Zollar has a wonderful tax blog, by the way. If you don't already read it, you should check it out. http://ezollars.libsyn.com/

"The Tax Court today took the IRS to task for failing to follow up on the validity of a Form 1099R after the taxpayer reasonably raised questions about the correctness of that amount. I've posted a write up on the ASCPA blog at:

Or, a short URL at http://bit.ly/19q73J
