Disappointed

“I was hoping to spend the money on my 22 mo old twins and give some money to my 17yr old and my 19yr old…..but the IRS had different plans…I’ve been fighting with them since last year about my 2002 taxes I even went through the tax advocate and thought the issue had been settled (they claim I never filed) I got a letter in the mail Friday 6/27/08 stating they kept my stimulus check to pay for the taxes I owed for 2002(they actually owe me money from 2002) If the money is supposed to stimulate the ecomomy why would the IRS have 1st dibs in the first place?? “
