Allow me to begin by saying: IF YOU ARE SITTING ON BACK TAXES GET OFF YOUR BUTTS! Ahem. So if you can't tell I waited on my taxes thinking, well ""If I don't think about them I won't have to deal with them."" Unfortunately just because I didn't think about my taxes doesn't mean the IRS will, which brings me to my review. A few weeks back I received a nasty gram from our favorite revenue collecting agency, the IRS, stating an intent to levy or seize (gasp!) any assets necessary to satisfy my multiple years of debt, which according to the IRS, was above 30g's!!! Needless to say I was overwrought with anxiety when I came to the office and I am slightly ashamed to admit I cried a little at my tax preparer, who, God bless her heart, offered my a hankie and some tea. I literally dropped 2 boxes of everything important looking I could possibly find in her lap and begged her to make it better. Lo and behold two weeks later I have 3 of my 5 back returns completed and additional deductions that Carol was able to find me has lead to a significant reduction of my debt. What's more; Carol was good enough to send a letter of abatement in on my behalf to attempt to remove some of the fines associated with late filing.
