Did anyone but myself and former Atarian, Paul Mancuso, receive a notice
from the IRS reguarding an alleged IRA distribution from Warner Communications
for the 1988 tax year?  Supposedly a 1099 was issued, but I didn't ever cash any 
such check!  Was this a computer glitch from the last months power failure on
Wall Street or ?   
I don't even have an IRA account.

	Any ideas, please contact me.

Everyone who worked for Atari in 1985 will probably receive this notice from
the IRS. It concerns the distribution of stock from the Warner ESOP (Employee
Stock Option Plan) that was distributed that year. You will also receive a
follow-up letter from an accounting firm stating that they supplied the IRS
erroneous information concerning this distribution (a 1099 form stating the
distribution was done in 1988).

You are still obligated to respond in writing to this letter from the IRS and
dispute the proposed increase in taxes for that year. I sent them copies of the
1985 1099 from Warner for this distribution and a copy of my income tax return
for 1985 to show that I claimed the distribution.
