As title says, past two years I didn’t submit my taxes- Was very emotionally overwhelmed, essentially had a sibling who was dying, it was incredibly stressful and I was in a grad program…managed to complete the grad program and be there for family, but just could handle getting it done for some reason(not knowing what i was supposed to do with grad loans and stuff probably was a piece). Now, I’m trying to get it together especially before this next years are due. Any advice, anyone been in a situation like this before? Am I totally fucked? I also pulled money out of a retirement account to pay bills, and think I ended up paying taxes 2x on it- again, any advice? Anyone know how to go about trying to recover from a screw up like this?
As @[email protected] said, you are not totally fucked. There will be fines involved. If you owed money, interest on it will have accrued. If they owe you money, you might still end up in the back after fines.
If you don’t file your taxes for long enough, eventually an investigator will come ring your doorbell, and urge you to file them.
