Plese be more specific.\nDid your friend obtain a ITIN from the IRS?\nIf income was earned may qualify for the EIC.\nAnd if your friend does his/her tax return back to 8 years could get a nice refund.

your friend can look into legal aid. Or call a lawyer and ask if they know any lawyers that can help.

You don't need to run out and buy a bunch of books or pay anyone.  All the info you need is in the links below.\n\nIt's not going to be easy.  Tax liens are public records, and until the creditor files to get it removed, it will say on the state records.  I believe they will stay on your credit report for 7 years also because of that.\n\nThe credit card can be challenged by sending the creditor a "demand to validate" letter.  Make them prove you have a valid, legal obligation to pay this debt, ie a contract or purchases you signed for.  Depending on what your state law says, if you are not a co-signer (you said you were an authorized user) you may not be liable.

Sorry, you have no recourse. Even if it was your tax preparers idea, you are responsible for checking the tax return before you sign it and mail it. The same child(ren) cannot be claimed on 2 different income tax returns and you knew your boyfriend was claiming the kids, so you should have told the tax preparer that they had already been claimed on anothers tax return.

I know a man who moved away from a situation then simply changed his own social security number. Submitted a new one he made up when he started his own small business. IRS hasn't knocked on his door yet. He's almost 70.

to my knowledge no it doesnt but is held against you for 7 years where as personal debt is held on your file for 5 years, but it may also stop you from opening another business in that time

Thank you! I have been trying to make this same point! They cannot apply for tax returns so they lose all that money! Where do most of the people on this website get their info from?

If the tax lein isn't yours then all you have to do is write to the credit buearu and dispute the information as not belonging to you.  If the tax lien is yours and is still not paid, I believe it can remain on your credit report indefinately.  Once paid, it remains for 7 years from the date you made your last payment.

If you lost your past return, contact IRS and request it. They will send it to you at no charge. I believe they can only go back so many years though.

Just contact the IRS and explain your situation to them and they will send you the forms you need to fill out for those years!   Good Luck!\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov

In most cases, if you NEVER filed for the year in question, there IS NO staute.  This is the PEOPLE's money, not yours, Comrade.

The length of time you should keep a document depends on the action, expense, or event the document records. Generally, you must keep your records that support an item of income or deductions on a tax return until the period of limitations for that return runs out.  \n\nThe time you are required to keep records includes the period of time during which you can amend your tax return to claim a credit or refund, or that the IRS can assess more tax. The following situations contain the periods of limitations that apply to income tax returns. Unless otherwise stated, the years refer to the period after the return was filed. Returns filed before the due date are treated as filed on the due date.\n\n   1. You owe additional tax and situations (2), (3), and (4), below, do not apply to you; keep records for 3 years.\n   2. You do not report income that you should report, and it is more than 25% of the gross income shown on your return; keep records for 6 years.\n   3. You file a fraudulent income tax return; keep records indefinitely.\n   4. You do not file a return; keep records indefinitely.\n   5. You file a claim for credit or refund* after you file your return; keep records for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.\n   6. Your claim is due to a bad debt deduction; keep records for 7 years.\n   7. Your claim is due to a loss from worthless securities; keep records for 7 years.\n   8. Keep information on an asset for the life of the asset, even when you dispose of the asset; keep records indefinitely.\n   9. Keep all employment tax records for at least 4 years after the date that the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later.
