Thanks for all the replies. I indeed have both called and
written to IRS (with copy of cancelled checks etc) several
times already. What really frustrated me was whenever I
called (on the number indicated on the notice), the IRS
agents seemed to have no clues. Everytime I would be
transfereed among a dozon of agents. All of them could
neither find the record I owe sth nor the record of my check
payment. There was even one occassion, an agent seemed to
suspect my call was hoax. He could not even believe I had
received several notices from IRS!!! I guess all those
agents could only retrieve Form 1040 related information,
but my case was related to Form 8288. Saying this I still
don't understand whey they could not find my check payment
given it was sent with the IRS provided payment coupon and I
wrote my SSN on the check.

I have written to local Tax Advocate earlier this week with
supporting documentation. But I am not sure whether they
can help solve the issue quickly before the matter
escalates. (BTW, is Tax Advocate the samething as the IRS
Ombudsman?)

Do you think is there any other matter I can take? Sometime
I really feel it's just wasting time to call or write to
IRS. But I am really struggled to find any effective
options.

Thanks.

Yes the Tax Advocate is the same thing. I may have been the
person who referred to that office as the "ombudsman."

Seems you've been doing reasonable things. At this point, I
can only counsel patience. Often, the government creeps at
an extremely slow pace.

Good luck. Let us know how this gets resolved.

Bill
