What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I currently live in Louisiana, this stems back to when I lived in California.
I just got a letter from the IRS yesterday saying for the 2001 and 2002 years alone (with penalties no interest) I owe nearly $24,000. I haven't filed since 2000 because I couldn't afford to pay what I owed back then so now I am in way over my head. I make around $26,000 a year so I will not be able to pay anywhere near what I will be required to pay. I don't want to spend money on a tax attorney if it won't help me out, and I don't want to get scammed by an online company, however I don't know enough to go to the IRS and get this lowered or anything myself and don't want to miss an opportunity to save thousands either. Thank you to anyone who can help.
