While saving $1.40 on a $20 purchase of pens, pencils and paper, might not be worth standing in line for an hour.

		<description><![CDATA[Don't panic.....you have options! The first piece of advice I would give is do not ignore the IRS. Contrary to what many people think, they will work with you. The IRS does not want to take your car, house or seize your bank accounts. They want you to pay your taxes.
