Best thing to do is to contact a CPA or Tax Attorney.  Many of the "Tax Deals" of the 80 were legit.  The ones that were audited and closed down by the IRS as abusive, have already pretty much run their course.  When speaking with your advisor, make sure you bring every piece of paper associated with the deal from the application to all subsequent letters, forms, annual statements, LP Tax returns etc.  It is possible that your deal was a good one and there may be a market for your interest in the program.\n\nGrampy

Call the IRS and tell them you are in a hardship situation and ask for an Offer in Compromise form.  It is not that difficult to complete .. just answer all the questions honeslty.  I use to work for the IRS and help many get their tax debits forgiven or releave for a small percentage  of the amount claimed due by the government. \n\nIf you have any question post it here and I will figure out a way to share my personal email addy with you... for more detailed questions specific to your case .....

you pay money or get a return.\n(don't worry, the IRS doesn't have their sh*t togther enough to notice that you have not filed for years.)

Those payday loan places can really wind up costing you a lot in the end. If you're in a bind, you can go to one of those national tax preperation firms. Several of them offer "holiday loans" or "instant money" loans. They can be paid back with your refund when you file your tax return. You can get up to $1500 in some places, which might be enough to get you through. \n\n    If you're really in a pinch, like if you need money for heating, electricity, or food, you can go to a church or synagogue and ask for help - some also offer classes or advice on money management to break the cycle of borrowing. There are a couple of websites I"d suggest on the matter, and I'll attach them. \n\n     I realize I don't know how much money you need or why... if you're looking for a mortgage or something you could always try a Credit Union if you're eligible. If you have a 401K or life insurance you can typically borrow against them or from them. If you have an IRA you might be able to get some money out of it, depending on the type of IRA and how much you want to pay in taxes. I have borrowed from my family and my boss, but in those cases it's important to know without question when you will pay them back, and DO it - with interest. \n\n     Finally, don't be fooled by anyone who tells you that for a small fee, they will find you a lender. If you have to pay up front for someone to lend you money, it's probably not a good idea - you might never hear from them again.

Your creditors can easily seize your land and besides, you'll lose it anyway since you won't pay the taxes.\n\nUse the pay to live on while you find a better job. Invest in yourself. You sound like you need to get your head screwed back on straight.

Honestly there is no way online. If you do find something then you will have to pay out money at the beginning plus have to pay your own taxes out of your checks. ( No money taken from your checks meaning you set money back for the end of the year)

I think I would try to hang tough and make it difficult for them, but I think you will probably have to pay.  In fact you are probably not the only person that was over-paid.  \n\nHowever, in your negotiations/discussions with them, make sure that they re-pay YOU for the 10% penalty and tax that will end up on you tax return for the year because of the pre-mature withdrawal of the funds to pay them back.

It is sometimes possible to erase your tax debt at an enormouse discount with an offer in compromise.  The IRS does not publicize this program for obvious reasons, as there have been cases to where somone has reduced their debt to around 5% (including debt and penalties.)  In order to proceed with an offer in compromise, one of the following must be true:\n1.  There is some kind of doubt as to whether the IRS can collect their debt from you.\n2.  There is some doubt as to whether or not you owe the bil.  \n\nThe IRS accepts 1 out of 4 offers in compromise, so if you seriously want to reduce your debt and get your offer accepted; you should seek the help of a tax specialist.  \n\nI do know one case where a woman in WA state had her IRS debt reduced from $20k+ to less than $1k.  There were errors on her past returns and a tax specialist was able to refile past years tax returns to reduce the debt.  It was pretty amazing to have your life turned around so quickly!

Don't do it. You will only get trapped and it takes years to get out of it. Trust me. I have a friend that falled for the easy bait and she is still trying to save herself for that one small loan two years ago.

I suggest you get your stuff together, starting now...as in life. IF you are earning an income, you will have little recourse but to file all taxes with whatever payment you can muster. You will be levied fines and interest and penalties. IF you have a bank account, I strongly suggest withdrawing all monies from it, as if you have much in it, it will be siezed as soon as the IRS checks your assets out. IF you own a home, there will be liens placed upon it for the amount you owe. \nIF you do not have an income...relax!  Just don't plan on having one for about 1 year. NOW, go to a tax lawyer, spread out the mess. They will help you file, with addends as to NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY....the IRS will settle for whatever they can get, as little as .01 on the $ owed. You will have to pay something, but not anything like you may owe. Once you have an agreement with the IRS, DO NOT BREAK IT IN ANY WAY...if you do break the agreement, you will have to start all over, and trust they will then begin to hound you. Get yourself legal in any way you can, for the energy you spend on worrying about the IRS is destructive to your future. You can come out of this clean, and when you do, stay that way! You cannot go 'underground' and ever expect to earn much money in cash...people cannot pay much in cash, for they will be paying the income tax on whatever they pay you...do not expect much in the way of wages when you work this way. Be aware that anything and everything you own is subject to siezure IF you do not come clean... IF THEY Find out about your 'activities' before you tell them about it, they will come down on you hard....it is called tax evasion, and you can go to prison for it...doubtful, but certainly can happen. Once you file returns, they cannot jail you...they can just go after whatever they can get. Act now, this will not get better with time. Good luck

I would go back to Dec 2002 and not rent the house that I rented\nand stayed in my 3rd floor apartment saving me $1250 right off\nthe bat.  I ended up breaking 5 ribs a couple weeks later and it messed everything up.  I didn't go to my job but quit going to the\ndoctor, too and eventually I was forced to resign or be fired from\nmy Postal Job.

Pay all your current bills. Save as much money as possible and the next time you get a lump sum of money like tax time..take the money you have saved and the taxes and pay them off at one time.

File an Installment Agreement (Form 9465) with the IRS.  As long as you're trying to hold up your end, they will work with you.  If you don't do anything, they can squeeze you like a turnip.

Actually, you would prefer to break even, or owe them a small amount.  A huge refund means that you gave the government an interest-free loan.\n\nLook at what (if any) you got back last year.  If your financial circumstance hasn't changed much, for every $700 in refund you got, add another deduction to your W-4.

Invest it and draw out 1% less then you return is. At a return of 8% that would be an extra $ 70.000.- a year. That's not to shabby.

I pay $7600 a year in taxes for 60x100 lot. That's the world of Long Island, NY. About 75% of that goes to the local school district. Yes I have no children. And I've lived in the same house for 34 years. There's got to be a better way. Folks are screwing me to financial ruining.

First step, adopt me! :)\n\nDepending on how large the sum is, I agree with everyone else that you'd want to seek the advice of a good lawyer.  Hopefully they could put you in touch with a reputable CPA/Financial Advisor/Tax Specialist.
