As I've pushed more and more for online tax payments I've found after numerous clients have received balance due CP14 notices that the IRS is misposting when the "spouse" makes payment, even though it's a joint tax filing.  On the accounts within the IRS it shows as posted to the spouse but it is generating a past due balance with penalties and interest to the first SSN on the return.

One client waited 8 hours on the phone, another was lucky with only two hours after a transfer.  I have three more today.  Anybody know of a way to get monies moved without having to call the IRS?
