We have always owed about $6000 each year and end up having to play catch up and have never caught up. In 2006, our taxes at first showed that we owed $20,000 and our accountant went back and amended that return after finding some things we missed for deductions (the amended return ended up being around $6000--the usual amount). However, the IRS will not accept her amended return! She says she has never heard of this; that there is no good reason for them not to. She is in the process of trying to intercede on our behalf and is asking advice from an organization she belongs to in order to get this figured out. We ARE on a payment plan with them at this point, but the taxes are now over $25,000 total (and as I am sure you know, at this point, we are not "allowed" to be on a payment plan--but we do not have a lump sum of money to pay off a large amount at one time). So, until that 2006 year gets figured out, we are just continuing to pay on our plan and are trying to find the money each month from now on to start paying quarterly taxes like we should have been doing. Any suggestions? We also have $17000 in credit card debt ($750 a month in minimum payments that get us nowhere) and are wondering whether or not to do a debt settlement or CCCS--any advice on that?
