What is the name of your state? I am a Florida resident. I have owed the IRS monies from 1099s dating back to 1994, 1995 and 1996. These monies were earned in Georgia. The original sum owed has nearly tripled and approaches $35,000. A recent heart surgery sans insurance has put me nearly $100,000 down and restricted opportunity at age 57. I would like to get the IRS situation rectified and have filled out all the paperwork for an Offer in Compromise. On paper I would appear to be an excellent candidate with virtually no assets, large debt and little earning power. I possibly have passed the statute of limitations on the major amount from 1994, but have no idea of my actual status. Is there a way to find this out before I give up my rights re: the statute of limitations. If I thought they would take an offer of ten cents on the dollar, I wouldn't sweat any of it and pay up with some borrowed funds. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!
