Well the IRS got me
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
The IRS reached out on prior tax years. How do I fight this? They are giving me 30 days to file a few past years. I am a disabled vet with low income. I also don't agree how the snakes represent me in Washington and don't agree with this whole system they have us under.
Low income probably means you owe little. Since you ignored them this long, what stops you from continuing that strategy?
Bank levies is what stops that. They cleaned out my checking account over a tax dispute about 18 years back. OP should look for low income accounting help. If you ignore them they will nail you with no lube. Option 2 is go full off grid and live like it's the 1800's.
I made decent money at the years they are showing I didn't file but then lost my job and house and stuff and came back to school via the VA so I haven't worked for a few years now.
You are probably below the threshold requirement for you to file. With the Trump increase in the standard deduction, etc. you will likely be good. Your VA benefits are likely tax exempt. It is likely that you can find someone from a veteran group that will help you fill out the 1040 to at least see where you are at.
I have been searching for some help. I was below the threshold the last couple years but it doesn't seem to be the case for the few years prior to that.
One word of advice: if you speak to them on the phone and wind up with a malicious dickhead, get off the phone with no agreement or personal info exchanged. PRAY. And when God says "call now", call now. Personal observation
If you file for all the years, I wonder if your deductions or credits from the low income years might offset the amount owed from your higher income years.
