I'll go ahead and say it: This sucks. I've called my accountant to see if this is a mistake. With my luck, this is no mistake and I'll have to pay the money. I've just got that feeling.
I think there is two lessons to take away from this situation:
- When in doubt, call your accountant! Even if you think it's a trivial matter, you are better off being totally sure by checking with a professional.
- Have an emergency fund. Luckily, we've been able to build up a small emergency fund over the past few months. (Thanks economic stimulus check!) The fund is no where near what I would like it to be but a least there is enough cushion in it for us to handle an unexpected expense like this.
Anyone ever had similar experiences?
