A: Friend, you may be a good candidate OIC or CNC status. If you are unable to afford an enrolled agent, CPA, or attorney to help with this there may be some free help in your area. Call California VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance.) Also, many times the law school has a low-income tax clinic that can help guide you through the process. I hope this information helps you to get closer to your best resolution.
