    Hello Mr. Hartford, I also have a tax problem, according to the IRS I owe $1050.00, well I don’t have a nickel right now. Besides, they want me to write a letter explaining how I expended over $4000.00 in books. Unfortunately, that’s the year the Hurricane hit FL., I have a lot of damages including boxes and boxes of very expensive books as well as receipts. Now they want an itemized list and prices of all my books. I used to keep copies of receipts on my lap top, but it also got damaged. I received $1015.00 and my husband $398.00., a month from social security. Also in 2016 right before the hurricane, I withdrew the last $7500.00., from my 403b. I had todo it because my house is a mess, the pluming is leaking in different places. The Insurance denied my claim, so I have been paying for house repairs out of pocket. The $5000.00., that I had left after paying for those repairs; I keep the cash money here at home, but when they started announcing the hurricane, I was told by my neighbors to take all the cash with me because it was going to be a lot worse than Andrew back in 1992. So I packed the money and our medications and took them to the shelter; well, I don’t know how or when someone took the bag. When I realized it was missing, I went to several police or army officers and reported. There replied was that they weren’t there to babysit anybody’s belongings and that there was nothing they could do. So now I’m not only totally broke, but I have the IRS, Mortgage, and credit cards Companies after me. I bought those courses to study and prepare myself to pass the State Board of nursing, so that I can return to work. I feel as if I am at the end of the rope. I simply feel totally lost and helpless. May I have you phone number so that I might be able to call you. Or do you have an email where I can write to you? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all your support to the community. May God Bless You, I hope to hear from you soon. B. Perez

    Most casinos hold out the estimated taxes before they payout, so he may not owe as much as he thinks, which is probably why the IRS hasn't been bugging him. If I was him I would get a copies of tax software on e-bay and get them filed. I got about 5 years behind on my taxes. I found that making myself sit there for days and get them together and do them myself and figure them out was an important part of the learning to "NEVER DO THIS AGAIN" process. I had to switch jobs and cash out part of my 401K to pay them all, but I got them paid and moved forward.
