The IRS uses many tactics to get people to comply with the tax laws, this is one of them. If you wedding is not until November that should give him enough time to get this moving forward and hopefully enable him to obtain a passport.

We filed jointly, I’m afraid I’ll lose my house. I can’t see details of any agreements/payments made to IRS on IRS.gov… what are my options ?
answered on Nov 14, 2022
You can set up a payment arrangement based on what you can pay but if you are unable to pay the amount due in full, that will not protect your home. You should speak with a tax attorney. Most of us do not charge a consultation fee. This way you can find out if there are any other options... View More

Your parents need to consult with a tax attorney. It is impossible to give you advice in this format Most of us offer a free consultation. Just tell your parents to stay away from the places they see advertised on TV.

The easiest way to resolve this would be to provide the IRS copies of your paystubs which show what was actually taken out of your check.

I presented my employer proof of employment discrimination and signed an agreement to receive money and not pursue a lawsuit. I was deposited less than the money agreed. The company claimed they deposited less because they withheld taxes from the net pay.

If the settlement replaces lost wages those funds are taxable.
Divorce final in May 2021. Decree states that the petitioner can claim in 2021 and odd years. Respondent can claim in 2022 and even years. My ex husband is fighting me on this even though I’ve tried explaining that I claim this year.
answered on Jan 22, 2022
The tax year is the year the taxes are due for and not the year they are filed in. So if the mother is awarded the odd years then they would be 2021, 2023, 2025 etc. In other words in 2022 you file for 2021 which is an odd year. You may have to get the lawyers or courts involved again if there... View More

Transcripts only stay available online for a certain period of time. If you did not owe any taxes for a particular year it is not unusual for them to be removed. January is the time of year that the IRS updates its systems so that may be why they disappeared. There is no guarantee that this is... View More

Most people whose sole income is social security do not have to pay taxes on the income. The best way to determine if he should have been filing is to prepare mock returns for the years that he received social security and see if he would have had to pay any taxes. There can be some benefits to... View More

No. You would have to submit an offer. The only other way to pay less without submitting an offer is to request a penalty abatement, however, most taxpayers do not qualify for a full penalty abatement. Most people can usually only get penalties abated for the first year. I recommend at least... View More

If it has been more than 10 years since the taxes were assessed and he did not do anything to toll (stop) the statute of limitations from running, the debt should be gone.
