Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Step Daughter wants me to conference call w/her and the IRS. Long story short, she owes the IRS from 10 yrs ago and now the IRS wants to collect. She is on SS Disability and a few years back bought a home through a USDA Rural development program. Additionally, she works part time as a customer service rep at Amazon. She is on disability for mental health reasons and other than the home and 20 yr old car has no other assets(she likely has a few hundred in the bank but also likely has 2-3k in credit card debt). About six months ago I told her she should try to negotiate a settlement (that is about how long we have known about the issue). I don't really know what advice to give her. My strategy on the cc with the IRS is to get an understanding of options she has for repayment. She is convinced that she paid the taxes, but has no proof. The IRS has no ability to confirm that they received the debit card payment from that long ago. The letter she received gave her a specific date they would freeze her bank account etc. but I find it hard to believe they will go after her to the extent of seizing her home. thoughts? advice?
thanks
