they say i owe them 220 dollars, i disagree, but if i keep thinking about IM REALLY GOING TO ******* ROB SOMEONE.
/exaggeration
but really, i work for a year, they say i owe them, i was expecting money, i just bought a car with my savings, stupidly. wait not stupid, just bad timing?
anyways, after i paid all my debts off i didnt expect to get a bill. i thought i would just work and pay rent and buy food and start college.(and use my returns to register my car, and get a cheap laptop)
if i dont pay what happens? if they take it out of next years returns is there interest? i got a bill for working my ass off, hooray.
i dont understand, i mean they were taking 245 out of every check, isnt that alot?
If you don't pay, they take it later with penalties and interest. They are not folks you wanna be on the wrong side of....
Find a way to pay the $245 before 4/15 and in the meantime adjust your withholding rate so that an extra $5/week is being withheld to avoid having to pay again next year.
Did you do your own tax return?
AARP is just one of many organizations that offers taxpayers with modest incomes professional help in preparing taxes.

Could have your tax situation reviewed by IRS by challenging their ruling?
Heres is what I would do. Have your tax situation reviewed by a tax professional there may be legitimate deductions you aren't aware of. One of those Noddy suggests should do the trick.
Depending on the result of the pros findings challenge the IRS ruling. Although I have no experience with IRS our tax dept in Aust work much the sam way, they are often not correct and can only work with the information they have to hand. They may in fact waive the 245 in light of the fact that it will cost them more to pursue than collect. Bear in mind that you could end up owing IRS legal fees.
Should you decide the 220 is owing contact IRS and request a low monthly payment arrangement, something like 18/month. It may be possible to pay even less over more time. I would bet they allow schemes of arrangement in certain circumstances. the key is communicate with them. Often this is better achieved if a financial/debt councilor can negotiate on your behalf but use only a non profit organisation.
Adjust your with holding rate immediatly.
For what tax year is this $220.00 owed? I ask because I don't see anyway they could have reviewed a 2007 return this early in the year. Yet, if it were a prior year, I'm sure they would have been in touch with you much sooner than February of 2008, with lots of information on interest/penalties.
220.00? Pocket change dude.... pay it and chill.
Get with the program. Both Senators Clinton and Obama are telling us taxes are too low, and must be raised. It's a privilege to pay your taxes. And after one of these two gets elected, you'll get to pay even more, you lucky stiff.
I'm guessing that he just filled out his 1040 and found by the tax table that he owes money.
Remember, you have until April to pay. Can you come up with $72 in February, March and April?

No.
Ditto to that.
I had to adjust my withholding and seriously, you don't miss it. And come tax time you are pretty damn happy you changed your status.
Form 9465 and relevent information is available
HERE
but seems less worthwhile in light of
Quote:However, you will be charged a one time user fee of $105.00, as well as interest on any tax not paid by its due date, and you can be charged a late payment penalty unless you can show reasonable cause for not paying the tax by the due date (April 15, 2008 for individual income tax returns) even if your request to pay in installments is granted.
Bet you're right, Noddy. Maybe he figured in the standard deduction and omitted the personal exemption. Maybe. . .

I'd be interested to knoiw what your course of action will be OG
well, i was going to steal a car to pay it off, if you really wanted to know. hooray for life huh? hahaha
It would feel pretty good to stick it to the man but you have to do it in a way that wont turn out bad for you.
Seriously consider the organisation Noddy suggested, or one similar
