Arriving at Harv's Metro Car Wash in midtown Wednesday afternoon were two dark-suited IRS agents demanding payment of delinquent taxes. "They were deadly serious, very aggressive, very condescending," says Harv's owner, Aaron Zeff.
The really odd part of this: The letter that was hand-delivered to Zeff's on-site manager showed the amount of money owed to the feds was ... 4 cents.
To those who wonder why they sent two agents to collect a debt of four cents, one commenter responds: So both men could have their two cents' worth.
Needless to say, there's a few additional expenses:
Inexplicably, penalties and taxes accruing on the debt - stemming from the 2006 tax year - were listed as $202.31.
If they'd subjected Secretary Geithner to those rates on what he owed, we could have wiped out the deficit.
