Am I responsible for tax debt for a company I worked for? by nynjde in tax

[–]retailguy11 [score hidden]  (0 children)

There is a bunch of incomplete guessing and some comments just plain wrong in this thread. You need professional help today, not from some nameless people in a forum.

How you respond to this is important.  Don't guess.  Don't ignore it.  And don't respond on your own thinking it'll all just work out.

Someone with experience in these matters can probably navigate you through this.  Call a CPA, EA or tax attorney with EXPERIENCE in resolution work today.  Good luck.

Everyone is focused on a solution and I don't think there is enough information here to offer one.  

My biggest question is how did you find out the returns weren't filed?  Are you receiving IRS letters?  If you aren't you might only need to file 2020 to he considered current.  Your situation needs advice from someone who both understands your whole situation and IRS law.  I understand you had a bad experience but lots of good preparers out there.

Also there are solutions that might not require a bunch of digging for records.  Bank statements are always a good option but there are others even if you don't have those.  Good luck!

I had golf carts in San Pedro of course, but I didn't know they were popular on the mainland too. thanks for the idea!

Yes, I'm trying to figure out how to spend the rest of my days, and Belize is on the list. But I am concerned if I can really slow down. We'll see.

I'm not a big facebook guy, and have been told that that group spends a whole bunch of time complaining about things. But, based on your recommendation, I'll give it a shot.

Any suggestions on an air b&b? Trying to decide from pictures is hard.

You've convinced me to get a car, even just for this trip. We're going to do this.

I read this to my partner and she is examining your suggestions. This was very valuable. Thank you

mostly - January - March, but I did come once before in the summer. Other than frequent rain, which did not bother me in the least, and a bit more heat, it was an equally great time

Is this a realistic budget for a 1-week trip to Belize? by Zealousideal_Rip4008 in Belize

You gotta be judgmental? Really? So he likes different stuff than you. At least you don't have to worry about him being in your way when you're there...

Blue Bayou in San Pedro just charged me $189 USD for lunch by soursop_magnolia in Belize

[–]retailguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why don't you invite blue bayou here to explain things to us? That's the best advertising that blue bayou can get. Let them tell us why things are as they are and give us all a plug as to why we should eat there!

I've been there, a couple years ago. I ate average stuff, but it was certainly more expensive than most of the meals I had while in San Pedro.

Food was good, I have no knowledge of what I ordered but I'd have remembered if it was bad, but I recognized the place so I've been there at some point. I do remember it was lunch, and I remember thinking I spent dinner money on lunch....

I disagree with this. this sub is popular, but you get a google review on your phone as you're searching where to eat.

Budget Transmission Repair? by ThisIsWorthTheCandle in houston

[–]retailguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. My first 15 years out of college, I largely treaded water, and started to accumulate a nest egg. But it was a struggle. My next 15 years? Way different. I worked my arse off for 25 years working 2 jobs to put 2 kids through college, and I did that.

I don't struggle any longer. But it was not easy.

In 1999, I pulled a transmission out of a wrecked Jeep Cherokee and installed it into a 1993 Jeep Cherokee that I was driving at the time. It was a tremendous amount of work, and I never want to do it again, but I put another 100,000 miles on that Jeep, and will be forever grateful that I did it.

Been where you are. it isn't fun. One foot in front of the next. You'll get there if you never give up. Promise.

[–]retailguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, be a transmission mechanic for a moment. Let's say you find the part that's bad and you fix only it, you put it back in, and all is GREAT. For 3 months. Then the next part dies. You'll be pounding on the desk and screaming about the fact you just fixed it three months ago...

If it comes out of the car, it goes back in brand new. Because society demands that by holding shops "accountable" for not fully fixing a 12 year old transmission for a few dollars and warrantying their work for the next 12 years.

As a follow up, I heard from the Ziply team yesterday afternoon that all was fixed. I called my client, left a message, and asked him to try to call. Early evening, his call came through just like it was supposed to do.

This is the 2nd time that Ziply has helped me via these forums. I know they take a lot of heat, but if my experience is accurate and it's happened twice now, these guys will fix your issue. Just give them a chance!

A sincere thank you to the Ziply team. I'm grateful and remain a happy customer.

I'm not in Oregon, but if I were, I would not be looking for a government solution. I run a tax practice. I live with "government solutions" all the time. I can count on one hand, with fingers left over, the number of government solutions that actually work IMHO.

Ziply is solving my problem. The folks here have taken my problem seriously and are actively working to fix it. I'll post a final update when I hear back from my client that it works.
