    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?

    You can appeal it and ask why they feel it was your fault. Do not let any appeals or any of their dead lines lapse though. Had you reported that you had an IRA? You need to find a lawyer that deals in social security issues.

    If you are involving an attorney for the Social Security issues, then use a tax attorney who can do double duty to represent you before BOTH the SSA and the IRS.
