So we may all be enlightened, I am happy to share much of my experience. Ask me a specific question about my "experience" and I'll give it to you/the forum.
So far, nothing has been levied on the bank account and it has been 4 years. I keep it under a 1000 and have another friend with a different last name than me on the account too. I am told the IRS does not want to deal with possibly taking someone else's money, so it was an easy insurance move there. I figure when the lien comes, my wife will more than freak.
As I am getting ready to approach her employer about an IRS note they received, she shared with me last night that she'd rather die a tortuous death than go to jail or see me go to jail, or have "everyone" know that we don't pay taxes.
I blew it here. Four years ago I realized that we were not taxpayers. I should have simply dropped out MYSELF. Instead I took her with me. Now she gets notes from the viPeRS and I quietly deal with them(quite an evolution of responses, though, believe me!). That has been barely tolerable. But now that I am having to go "public" with it, she is dying.
As I understand though, once you leave the system, rejoining it can be expensive monetarily. So I am faced with a dilemma I didn't anticipate: What if she wanted back in to find some peace?
Well, some thoughts
