pass due taxes

[bigyum06]

I'm a ex self employed truck driver out of Charlotte N.C. However I didn't fill out my 1099 taxes in 03,04,05, The IRS has sent me my 1099's for those 3 years, How would I go about refiling them? Here's the kicker, I don't have any paper work for those years, They were burned up along with my truck in a fire.

You go to a very good accountant or tax attorney, and bring some Vaseline.

ITG FAQ #4 Answer-What if my records are lost or destroyed?

I got this doing a search on the IRS.gov website. HTH

True 'dat. If the OP had been current with their tax filings when the records were destroyed, the IRS would be much more lenient with their scrutiny.

I doubt the irs will believe you had all 3 years of paper work in the truck. so you will need a good c.p.a

If you didn't pay estimated taxs for three years and were paid on 1099's then you had better be prepared to pay ten of thousands of dollars in penalties and interest. You might convince them that you lost part of a years paperwork in a truck fire but they aren't going to believe 3 years worth.

I would get on the phone or google and find a really REALLY good tax attorney and be prepared to pay the a few thousand up front before they will even look at your situation.

Or, just move to Mexico, change your name to Juan and don't cross the border ever again.

I didn't pay 1 year's worth one time and it wound up costing me $17,000.00 by the time they were all done and that was only a year late.

With the current administration you may be eligible for a refund.

The IRS got really aggressive during the Bush administration. I would expect the same if not more from the Obama administration. Someone has to pay for all that free money that is floating around. I also expect the Obama people to find some creative, or not so creative ways, in which to punish the trucking industry through taxation. After all, he made a speech during his run where he promised to kill the coal industry with high taxes. I would expect trucks to be at the top of his "HIT LIST." The trucking industry has been a target in recent years anyway. They think we are making a killing and not paying our fair share of taxes.

I get a sense that you don't care for the current Prez, GMAN... or have a crystal ball..... if the latter, could I have the winning lotto numbers for tonight's drawing??

I am not fond of the current administration or congress for that matter. Frankly, I think that we have more to be concerned with congress than whomever is sitting in the oval office. I am amazed that so many blue collar workers would have voted for Obama with some of the things he said during the campaign. One thing that I could not understand is how he did so well in Kentucky and some of the major coal producing areas when he basically told them that he was going to shut down their means of employment. He has been talking about transparency and allowing the people to see what bills are up and who votes for what yet he and the chickencrats pushed the biggest spending bill in history through without so much as a debate.

Maybe they were instructed by Larry the Cable Guy to "Git-R-Done!"........ Professional Debaters could power the world with wind.

[Silent Runner]

Gman, I agree with you about the current Admin & Congress.

About his ruining the coal industry - did they take out the new clean coal electric plant that the stim/spend bill is supposed to build in Illinois? He is also looking at Sebelius as a cabinet member. She just shot down one of those plants in Kansas because it was "too dirty". Now, she can't refund income taxes. What a leader! I'll be soooo glad when she is gone from my state!

I think Obama is all about fooling us and no part of actually being a leader interested in what's best for the country. Out of respect for the office I won't call him any derogatory names. I would even refer to him as Pres. Obama if I had an ounce of respect for the man.

Anyway, now that I've let my true feelings slip out.....how in the heck to you do quotes and smileys on this board? It used to be easy, now I can't seem to get it.

Think I figured out part of it anyway.

As for the OP, I think you may be $crew@d on this one. However, if you owed taxes for 3 years and did not even file, I'm not gonna cry for you, unless you can come up with one He!! of a reason. (Now, I need to figure out how to do the smiley thing here)

*How's that? I put a smiley in for you. GMAN

hmmmmmm... if you do get away with this let me know. I may want to try it someday. lol.

[GMAN]

Paying taxes is grossly over rated.

[marcel27208]

i never pay quarterly and i only owe anywhere from $80-$300 when i get mine filed...even got $5k back a few years ago......just gotta have a good CPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only do I not get my $1100 refund check, my wife is a teacher and they got notice last Friday that there would be no paychecks direct deposited on Thursday night (kida ater the fact). None of the teachers are getting paid right now.

Just like my dog ate my homework?

It's just a guess, but this sounds like one of those billy bigriggers out there on the road blowing off how much money they are making. Sadly this end result will be the same for everyone that finally realizes that being an O/O sucks when you have to play by the rules. Eventually they will catch up to you all.

I just did my taxes and I got a $7,000 refund. Man it sucks to be a company driver!

Does it?


Why don't you explain to all of us mere mortals why that is.

[allan5oh]

"clean coal" doesn't exist, yet anyways.
