330, it was. During that time, about every 6 months there was a knock on the door from a deputy handing me papers. I was at the IRS field office so much and so long they knew me by name
Walleye, we assumed she was an illegal. What gets me is, how she got my ssn. I didn't have internet or an email. This was in early 2000's.
