Throw a January Soup-er party
P arly soups are an elegant yel eco
nomical way to entertain for several
reasons.
First, consider the elegance of main
dish soups that are brim m in g w ith
good ingredients and presented in
handsome tureens on a neatly a r
ranged buffet. The cook can enjoy the
party too, because all of the work has
been done beforehand.
Prepared ahead and served buffet
style, party soups don’t require addi
tion al hands in the kitchen or the
dining room either, for that matter.
C h ili C orn Carne has tiny ears o f
corn and bite-sized meatballs flo a t
ing in Bean with Bacon Soup and T o
mato Soup. The meatball are made of
ground beef, rice, egg and chili pow
der, then browned with chopped on
ion and cubed green pepper. Soup
seasonings include ground cum in
seed.
T ’N ’ T Chicken Soup gets its name
from two o f the seasomnings: tumeric
and thyme. The base is a combination
o f Chicken Gumbo Soup and Tom a
to Rice Soup — both canned and con
densed. Sliced zucchini and cubed
cooked chicken are added, w ith a
splash of pungent vinegar.

How to

Have you repeatedly contacted
the Internal Revenue Service to cor
rect a billing? Do form letters keep on
coming even after you have written?
Are refunds still missing after many
contacts?
Oregonians who meet delays or red
tape in solving their federal tax prob
lems can get help from IR S’s Problem
Resolution Program (P R P ) o ffice.
This office serves as IR S ’s ombuds
man to help taxpayers who have a l
ready had unsuccessful contacts with
IR S . The taxpayer deals w ith one
person and is kept inform ed o f the
case’ s progress until the problem is
resolved.
This last fiscal year, P o rtla n d ’ s
PRP office handled 4,000 cases. The
percentage o f cases (hat are handled
through P R P is small compared to
the millions o f Oregon contacts that
are handled successfully each year
without additional assistance. H o w
ever, to an individual with a seem
ingly unresolvable p ro blem , an
om budsm an in In te rn a l Revenue
Service is the answer.
Problem Resolution should not be
used as a substitute for normal pro
cedures because most problems can
be resolved through regular channels.
PRP criteria are:
(1) You have contacted IR S re
garding the status o f a refund at least
90 days a fte r filin g an o rigin al or
amended return. Subsequently a sec
ond inquiry is necessary.
(2) You requested inform ation or
assistance more than 45 days ago and
have received no acknowledgement
or final response.
(3) You previously responded to a
billing notice and now have a third or
subsequent notice indicating incorrect
action or a lack o f action by IRS on
your earlier response.
(4) You notice repeated problems
in a particular area that may be cor
rected w ith an in itia l contact but
could indicate an internal or process
ing problem.
There are some areas, how ever,
that do not q u a lify fo r P R P assist
ance. These areas include c rim in a l
cases, tax protesters, non-tax admin
istrative matters, problems with other
agencies, refusal to pay, or cases
where an established adm inistrative
or formal appeal procedure should be
used.
PRP can be contacted by telephon
ing 221-3960 in P o rtlan d or 1-800-
424-1040 elsewhere in O regon. A
written summary o f (he problem and
efforts made to correct it, including
copies of any correspondence, may be
m ailed to Problem R esolution O f
fice. P . 0 Box 3341, P o rtlan d , O R
