What is the name of your state? "California"
Here is my situation.
Injured in 1997. Applied for SSDI denied, but have received SSI since 2001. I have not worked since at all.
My wife has a full time job as an Artist. She works all year creating 400 or so art pieces and sells them in 10 weeks time in the fall around the Christmas holidays. She makes around 15,000 dollars profit. But she takes in about 50 k gross. I have always reported her total sales profit to Social Security. But it has always been at a time when she had little in her account.
She ends the year with about $12,000 in the bank which she uses as seed money to buy Frames and canvas and paint etc. business expenses. We also use some for food etc.
Well this time when they were reviewing my claim happened to be now. With all that money there sent up red flags. Now they want bank statements for last two years etc. The reported earnings were correct. I just didn’t report that it came in such large chunks and in a short time then 8 months with little or no income. Way over the 3000 limit.
To complicate matters I had closed out personal checking account and we have used her business account to pay bills and home expenses for some time now. I now realize this is wrong and have reopened a personal checking account.
Any thoughts on how I should proceed. ?
