For several years, I have been dealing with the IRS concerning owed taxes on my wife's income. I have not been employed since 1973,and the only income I have is my Veterans Disability, and Social Security Disability (Not SSI).
Years in question are in the early 80,s. I, not my wife was notified that back taxes were due in the area of $15,000.00. I started to make monthly payments but in 1990 I had to seek relief under a Chap-13BK and made payments to the Court. Some time in 1995 my wife took ill and had to be placed on Social Security disability and I had to finally file a Chapter-7 BK. .IRS then issued Liens against me. I contacted the Problem Resolution Office, and explained my situation and on 11/95 I was contacted and advised they were closing my case at this time. But Liens were filed
In 1999 my wife returned to work under a trial basis from Soc. Sec. I now fear they will not only Levy her income and our checking account but attach, garner or levy my soc. sec and va checks
I know they can not garner or levy SSI checks and I think am not sure they can not touch my VA check, but is my Soc. Sec. Disability safe ???? Also, seeing I was not the wage earner can I be excused from liability??.
I think I should file for an "Offer in Compromise" and if I am granted one and seeing I have made attempts over the years to repay them and I have always been in touch with them can I ask them to remove their liens so that we may purchase a house ???? Sorry for the length of this, but can someone assist me with these answers which would relieve a the mounting stress I now have ??? thanks
