Total meltdown

On top of receiving threats and having our jobs jeopardized because we started a Tenants Association, apparently we are being penalized and charged interest on a state tax from approximately 15 years ago that we didn't file because we were getting money back in the amount of $50 and were moving out of state.

This has been a very difficult week on top of trying to work and carry three demanding courses in school. I don't think I can take much more of this.

Sorry, I just need to vent. Things here are not good right now.
 

In case anyone missed it, here's the Tenants Association thread.

Threats have been made against Mr Gray for starting a tenant's association

Back to the meltdown.

4. Sorry it is that bad gray
 If I win the lottery you will be first in line for financial assistance
 

There's a lottery in Germany ?  She wouldn't need assistance if she had tried to work something out. Don't do "poor thing" to her.  She's not a victim.

5. Do you have a friend who's a lawyer?
 
 I hope you don't have to face the IRS alone.

I'm so sorry! Doors have been closing for me since last July. Slammed is more like it. It's tough.


DUmmies always ask about lawyer friends.  :whatever:  They also think lawyers will work for free if you just tell them your sob story. Yeah right.  Always looking for the freebies.

6. It's a state tax, so I'll be dealing the them
 
 If I have a reasonable explanation, I can get the penalties waived, but not the interest. I have one, but I'm not willing to share it in public.



I wonder what that could be ?

As long as the graywarrior primitive doesn't crawl into a small plane and start flying around, or go to the Pentagon or a college campus and start shooting good people, I'm fine with it.

Considering who is president now, and who was president fifteen years ago, I don't see how any of this can be blamed on Bush, but give it time.

The greywarrior primitive's the one in her early 60s, right, who's been in college for more than forty years, taking course after course after course so as to delay paying off her student loans?

Or do I have the wrong primitive?

The one from an obscure city in Massachusetts who recently elected a Republican mayor, the first since God was a boy.

Hmmm....is there not some sort of "statute of limitations" on taxes?

I think, like for the Feds (frank would know), if they don't get you in 7 years, the cannot get you at all.

There is.....excepting in cases involving.....purposeful and deliberate fraud.

Then there's no statute of limitations.

Can't speak for states, but I think the federal statute of limitations is seven years......on filing errors.......if they suspect deliberate fraud, they can go back to the great flood......

Back in the early 90s I made a filing error,it was an honest mistake and I paid the tax and penalty,didn`t amount to a lot really and just went on with life.

At the time,not that it matters a bit now, was told they had a 39 month window to notify you of tax deficiency (this was federal) or in the event of an official audit could go back 7 years.
It wasn`t discussed about a deliberate attempt to defraud as that wasn`t remotely an issue.

That could have been changed a dozen times or more since then.

What jobs? This DUmmie has a job?? In this oconomy??

NYS Tax & Finance, which will absorb my (tiny, comparatively) agency, is like the Terminator when it comes to back taxes.  And (this should be of interest to Carl and Karin) they're hiring another 400 tax compliance people.  (Passing interest, but of interest to them, as I know that both of them live in NY.)

Another point of interest neighbor was that the tax person who told me I goofed also said that NY would be wanting their little bit.
That was when the time frame to notify was brought up.

Since it was a small amount I just said to myself come and get me,and within a couple of weeks of the deadline I got the notice of tax deficiency.
I chuckled,payed it and that was that but even then they had staff reviewing those things.
As broke as this pitiful state is now I can only imagine where they are at.

Yep. Going from the state holding an excess of 50 bucks that they left to thousands of dollars in fees and interest just doesn't make any sense. Dummie of course, so either she's stiffed the actual IRS or she's making it up for sympathy.

Yeah if she didn't owe anything, then there would be no interest to pay - just penalities for not filing.  Doesn't make sense.

Failure to file also tolls (Suspends) the time limits for the Feds indefinitely, without any further showing of fraudulent intent.  I do not recall off-hand whether completely omitting mention of an item of income is treated as a filing error or as a failure to report income equivalent to a failure to file, though.

I wonder why they say stupid meaningless things like "I've got your back"? What does that really mean? What action are they going to really take? What do they really intend to do in order to "have your back"? Or is it just more sound and fury signifying nothing, cheap and easy words on a message board, requiring no real exertion or effort to actually do something helpful?

If the statue of limitations runs out (not fraud), the feds and state are SOL. However, if you are assessed prior to that happening, they can hound you for the rest of your life.
