So for 2020 I filed my tax returns. However there was a discrepancy that I needed to correct so I amended it. Got that sorted out thinking it was over. Eventually got a letter saying I didn’t owe them anything. Thinking the matter was resolved, I threw that away.
Today, got a letter from the IRS in the mail dated as June 28th saying I owed them $16.00 by July 28th, which has obviously passed. This letter doesn’t seem to mention the amendment I made so I wondered if it was an old notice from before.
If it is then nothing to worry about. But if it isn’t, wtf happened?

$16?! Well, I never thought it would come to this, but you’re going to have to flee the country. First, enact a scorched earth policy and have a FGM-148 Javelin Missile “Accidentally” hit your house. Then flee the country and go to Cuba. Your new identity will be Baguette Von Blitzenblerster, a banana slug farmer whose hobby is making slightly shittier duplicates of Pokémon cards. Enjoy your new life. But in all seriousness, I’d say to write a check for the amount, plus about two dollars extra(in case of late fees), and mail it and a letter stating your situation to the IRS. Since this is probably the only thing wrong you’ve done, they probably understand the situation and cut you some slack.
