In 2007-08, I failed to file city taxes because I moved to new city (Euclid, OH), and my old city didn’t require local taxes to be filed. I recently got a subpeona to provide my W-2’s and federal tax forms for those years.
I want to know what to expect when I show up with my documents. Do I need to hire a tax attorney? Traveling up to Ohio for this will cost me enough since I live in the south US now, and if I don’t need an attorney, I’d rather not spend $1k I can’t exactly afford.
This is for income taxes, btw.
I lived in Euclid while i was working in Mentor, my employer withheld taxes for Mentor. I did not move during the tax periods in question, i moved to Euclid before I started working in Mentor.
i have 4 bench warrants for city tax evasion because i didnt file but now i cant get a job because i cant pass the background check i need to get this fixed so i can pay child support or there coming after me i didnt know if i should just go to the police or what i dont have the money for an attorney
I just received a letter from the city (not IRS):
IMPORTANT NOTICE OF AUDIT for 2005-2007
Should I be freaked out? They said this is a random audit, but am I being paranoid in thinking that it is NOT random? I have not been conducting any business since October 2007 since I broke my leg when I was 9 months pregnant & have been on maternity leave ever since. Should I find a tax attorney? I have a small design business (I am the sole employee, but set up as LLC) and have not made much money. I am very freaked & don’t understand why they would be targeting someone who is just not making any money? (I need all the money I have since I have not been working since October & need to take care of my baby!)
Thanks for any advice!
