I feel like everyone here is acting super dramatic about it.

When integrity and trust are factors considered for employment, yes it’s a big deal.

But it was one unfiled tax return out of five (or at least on mine it asked for the last five years) and it was immediately rectified before the investigation even began.

As someone else said, it's a big deal to the IRS. She did pay but not paying isn't the issue; not filing at all is a legit crime.

Still, one missed tax return where it's not habitual...it does seem a bit dramatic. I guess zealous investigator as another poster proposed.

Seriously. I had a few years of extensions filed and then didn’t file taxes. Had my reasons, fixed it all paid everything with interest. It was awful and I was so ashamed and it cause a lot of issues in my background check but everything worked out.

It happens and it’s serious but it’s not the end of the world. No need to shame anyone.

No!!!!!!11 It doesn't "happen"!!!!! I don't believe you that you forgot your extensions!!!!

This. No excuses.

Why are you guys acting like the taxes weren’t filed and paid as soon as discovered.

Exactly.

+1. Sounds like an overzealous investigator. Keep your nose clean and don't sweat it.

It is possible that you could be asked about it in the future. I think and explanation that it was a very stressful time, it was a stupid mistake, and upon discovery you paid and have paid all penalties as well. Keep those records.

People make mistakes. The important thing on a background check is that you aren't making them repeatedly or trying to hide them/

It’s okay you can abuse children and work for the government so this is fine. Enjoy the job there are no rules.

She didn't fail it. She passed and received the letter separately.

They got off with a warning. Which they're reading as "aggro" rather than what it is: a warning. Don't eff up again.

I mean. It is aggro to tell someone to live within their means because they owed $1,000 in taxes that they were ultimately able to pay.
