@Paul PassafiumeMost notices issued by the IRS/States are computer generated and not triggered by an actual person.With that said - the computer noticed that the 2017 tax was not paid and automatically issued you a notice(despite paying it but potentially to the wrong year).I think once an actual human can look at the records and see what happened that they will waive the penalties and interest.Normally interest is not abatable as this is something the government was entitled to.

I've been analyzing a deal or two a day and trying to get my first property, but having trouble pulling the trigger. 

Pull the trigger on your first deal and you will see how easy it is to do deals.

Anything over 3 stories tall requires an elevator and also triggers a lot of code changes.

Pulled the trigger after listening to all the podcasts and books.

Still a mystery why the power company called to alert us, but once they did it triggered the search.

If a great deal was in front of us we would still pull the trigger.

I've seen people invest a lot of time and money into learning notes, and then never quite pull the trigger on a deal.

I was just about ready to pull the trigger on a property, but started thinking that AFTER the renovation, my newly depleted liquid funds will keep me sidelined.

But then I think that I need to focus on one area and pull the trigger for Roseville.
