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
