Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with owing (personal income tax) back taxes?

It's not me. This person is paid as a sub contractor despite not meeting any of the criteria and paid a low wage. They did not have the money to pay their taxes so they did not file for two years. They owe for those years plus interest and penalties plus this year in addition to their state and local taxes.

I see the IRS will accept payments. Is there any hope of getting the amount due lowered? The accountant that prepared the taxes didn't have any suggestions or advice.

Thanks!!

We are in that position. We owe due to health insurance issues. If I understood it I would explain it.

Anyway, our tax lady said you can never get out of interest on back taxes, but that sometimes there is a one time chance to have the penalties waived.

That’s really all I know, but I will be meeting with her this coming week, and if I find out anything specific, I’ll be back to share.

Thank you so much WR. I am so sorry you have that to deal with on top of everything else.
