It shouldn't take Benedict Cumberbatch to figure out which 20/f mod went to LVL UP this year. Like how many cosplay, anime and hentai subreddits can there be? Then again, we could be talking about thousands of possible suspects.

Probably my favorite part of the story is that they got a payday loan, “accidentally” missed a payment, and then tried to dodge them for long enough that they went after family. Doesn’t sound like much of an accident.

39yo, 78k in debt, and I've been a non-filer on my taxes for 20+ years (self.personalfinance)
submitted 44 minutes ago by bmac3044

Hello r/personalfinance,

I’ve been lurking on this subreddit for a long time and have seen some people get excellent advice and now I'm seeking advice for myself. I know what I’m about to layout is completely my fault, I’m just seeking some advice on how I can move toward a resolution.

I’m 39 years old, single, no dependents, and living in Georgia. I gross about $55k/year and my take home pay is about $1,200 every two weeks. My rent is $1,060/month. I’m about $78k in debt which breaks down as follows:

$38k credit card (stopped making payments on these about a year ago)

$14k car loan (car is worth about $8k and the loan is current)

$26k 401k loan (making payments of $350 every two weeks out of my paycheck)

One of the big mega banks has filed a lawsuit against me for $12k. I know they will be aggressive and will eventually place a lien on my checking account and/or garnish my wages. I’ve decided that I need to file for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

I also haven’t filed my taxes in 20+ years. I'm a W2 employee so my employer has been withdrawing taxes, I just haven't filed. About 16 years ago I received a few letters from the IRS but I ignored them and they eventually stopped. One of the requirements of filing for bankruptcy is that I must file my taxes and submit my returns to the bankruptcy court. My bankruptcy attorney has told me that ALL (20+ years) need to be submitted. My tax attorney is telling me that they can only go back 10 years and they want to charge me $350 for each year plus a $650 one time charge to pull my IRS transcript. Is $350 a reasonable rate for this type of situation? How can I move forward with the bankruptcy if they will require all 20+ years of returns to be filed when I’m being told I can only file for the past 10?

Any advice that you all may provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

bmac

Actually, he lost at BWM roulette in a big way since he can't declare bankruptcy without self-reporting, which even the kneecapped IRS of today will notice.

And who knows how much he actually owed... he may have been overwithheld all of those 16 years and was due refunds each of them lol

A bit odd he is being told he needs all 20 years though... looking online for Ch 7 your most recent is usually required and for Ch 13 usually last 4...

This. 1200 takehome every two weeks seems pretty low on 55k gross. And I doubt he's doing a retirement plan if he's that far in debt.

It is possible he has been leaving a LOT of money on the table.

He says he was told that by a firm that wants to charge him $350 per year so, GWM for them, is my guess.

Edit: Betting it's the kind of place where when he goes back and tells them only 7 years are needed they'll go "$350 per was the discount rate, for 7 it'll be $750 per".

I had the same thoughts. And then needed to borrow money but didn't do that either.

What are the odds the $2k for credit card payment was money from the parents?

The IRS posted:

For individuals, the most common type of bankruptcy is a Chapter 13. Before you consider filing a Chapter 13 here are some things you should know:

You must file all required tax returns for tax periods ending within four years of your bankruptcy filing.
During your bankruptcy you must continue to file, or get an extension of time to file, all required returns.
During your bankruptcy case you should pay all current taxes as they come due.
Failure to file returns and/or pay current taxes during your bankruptcy may result in your case being dismissed.

https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/declaring-bankruptcy

I can't find anything relating to bankruptcy that requires 20 years worth of tax returns. He really needs to get a second opinion or an explanation as to why his bankruptcy attorney wants that.

Frankly, if he's a W2 employee his taxes probably aren't complicated to begin with (I'm assuming a guy with 78k in debt probably doesn't have a lot of stocks or savings to tax). He could probably file his amended taxes himself and may even be entitled to a refund.

Cancelled property purchase due to panic attack, should I buy again?

quote:

I’ve pulled the pin on multiple properties I’ve put offers on during the cooling off period because I get severe panic attacks and start obsessing about the flaws of each one. I cancelled a purchase on an apartment yesterday because it’s run by student management and there’s a lot of drama going on with the owners Corp and building maintenance. but the apartment is perfect in every other way and I think these dramas can get resolved over time.

I’m thinking the only way I’m going to make any progress here is if I call the agent and try put the offer in again without a cooling off period so Im forced to go through with it. Does that sound like a good idea?

I’m doing this alone, all my friends and family are in another state. I can’t pull the trigger on anything because these crippling panic attacks come out of nowhere.

This might only be interesting to me since it's my wheelhouse, but I am absolutely blown away by how loving ineffective with money the new Opportunity Zone program is.

TLDR is that OZs are supposed to spur development in economically disadvantaged areas by giving huge tax breaks to investors. But it turns out that their definition of a disadvantaged area (over 20% of the population must be below 80% of the median family income) tends to apply to core urban areas as well. So we're giving financial incentive to build more luxury product in the most luxurious areas.

"Portland is about to see a flurry of construction because of a provision in the 2017 tax overhaul that led to the creation of more than 8,700 “opportunity zones” across the country—areas that, in theory, have been ignored by investors and need generous tax breaks to catch up. But Oregon did an audacious thing: It selected the entire downtown of its largest city to be eligible for the law’s suite of benefits... Including the Pearl [GGGC note: Oregon's single most expensive and desirable neighborhood]"

This whole article is breathtaking
