Taxes

[Anonymous]

Quick question.

My taxes were severely screw with for many years while I was employed by my old nanny family. I'm not exactly sure what happened all I know is that they fired their old accountant and paid for the back taxes that were in my name...which caused me to have five tax liens in my name. The liens now reflect on my credit report and significantly impact my credit. Is there any way to dispute this or get it removed from my report?

Call a lawyer and sue.
You have a case. Trust me.

I don't want to sue them, they're a good family. I don't think it was their fault and they did pay the full amounts. There's however nothing that they can do to help my credit situation.

Sometimes you have to sue to get the attention of the IRS and Credit agencies. If they are good people they will understand.

It sounds like the family paid you under the table for several years while you worked for them. Then they paid the employer portion of the taxes and the penalties after they fired the accountant. Now, you want to know what to do, because it's impacting your credit? Is this accurate?

If you didn't pay taxes on your income at the time, you need to do so now, and you'll have to pay the penalties, too. If you have your tax returns and can prove that you paid your taxes, yes, you can dispute it. Otherwise, what would you dispute? No, there's no way to have it removed from your credit report unless you can somehow convince the IRS (not likely). I would suggest calling the IRS to see what sort of payment plan they will work out with you. You might also consult a tax lawyer.

I was paid over the table, taxes and etc "were supposedly" taken out of my paycheck but never send to the state each quarter.

Also, the backed taxes are paid. My employers paid them once when discovered the liens. I'm not asking to dispute the money side because that's paid because my employers took responsibility.

If the taxes we're paid why is there a lien?

They're still there but reflect as satisfied. Which still impacts my credit.

Then it sounds like you should talk to the IRS directly and consult a tax lawyer.

Did YOU file taxes each year? Filing is on you. If they paid these penalties - very nice but filing is on you.

pp - this is confusing for some but once you get your w-2, you must file a tax return. Sounds like you didn't do that and they paid your penalties.

I do get s w-2. I didn't notice the leans because they had been filed in a different state then what I was living in at the time be chase she misfiled paper work. The notices were being sent to my parents old address. The liens came to my attention when I went to buy a new car.

Call a tax advisor. There are some who do not charge if you have financial need.

So you never checked your pay stub or W2 to make sure taxes were taken out? And you didn't check your credit score for 4 years?
