Today mailman brough me an envelope from IRS that said I need to send check for $0.00 because I am delinquent on my taxes (which I am not). So I am just toying with an idea tosend that check for $0.00. Do you think if they would deposit it - what is going to happen?  |

Loony, look up the address they are asking you to send the check to online to see if it is really for the IRS.
It could be someone trying to get your account/routing number.

If it is an IRS letter, it should have a document or notice letter and you can call and find out what is going on. Unforturnately you may have to wait on hold for a while to talk to someone....
My DH once got a certified letter (cost ~$7 to send) from the IRS saying that he owed just $2 for delinquent taxes. He called and they said they sent it, but it was an error and to ignore it (always a little scary to do this). They never sent a followup and we haven't gone to jail yet......

I'd call the IRS. Perhaps if you sent in your last tax payment late the process was setup to mail you a bill. By the time the actual letter got generated your payment may have posted, hence the request for $0.00.
Bill processing in big companies and organizations is usually a multi-day process. The first day flags who is to be billed and one of the last stages usually is to query the database and generate the actual bill.
