IRS may levy 15% of my SSD on 1998 & 2000 tax years
I was a repair tech. for phone co. in downtown OKC during the bombing of Murrah Bldg. in 1995. I worked lots of OT, my BFF's baby stayed in daycare at Murrah bldg. when I was not at work I couldn't sleep, during the first 24 hrs I injured my back, etc. It was indescribable; all the death and destruction! After 6 weeks I had a nervous breakdown (I thought I was having a heart attack). Consequently I was forced into filing for SSD by my co. and they even hired a co. to do so. In 1998 I began receiving SSD, had to rollover my 401k which the IRS construed as withdrawal and charged double taxes on plus 10% early withdrawal. It ended up being 24,000 dollars. I filed an ext. that year over the phone with my CPA and paid 200 dollars. In addition to PTSD, I was diagnosed with bipolar, depression and anxiety disorder, underwent a colostomy 1996, knee surgery, and most of the time was agoraphobic and could not leave my home. My family members took care of a lot of business for me, but I failed to file taxes for 1998 & 2000. In 2001 I filed bankruptcy (no amts specified but tax was incl.), filed deed in lieu of foreclosure on home, returned car to the bank, etc. I tried getting help fm the IRS but could never get them to send correct forms for 1998 & 2000. I went to a CPA, who assured me he could help, but I waited in vain, then found out the CPA had gone out of business. I can't get the forms, I don't trust CPA"S and now IRS is going to levy 15% of my SSD. I know I don't owe the amt. of tax they have calculated, but how do I find someone reputable to help me? My bipolar is somewhat under control but am still somewhat reclusive. Can anyone advise me?
