[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are on the right track with getting a CPA/tax accountant to help you pay whatever back taxes are owed. I was in a similar situation when I went through a clearance renewal a few years ago. The tax/paperwork situation for my nanny at the time had just gotten beyond me, and I wasn't in compliance. I hired a tax accountant to help me figure out what I needed to pay, and they found the right forms and filed all the previous years' employment taxes. My clearance was renewed, and I am still at my job, which I love.

As other posters have noted, do not try to hide or lie about this situation if it comes up. Just be honest about past mistakes and what you are doing to fix it now.

I learned my lesson and now use an online payroll service for my babysitter. It's not too expensive, and they take care of everything -- withholding, quarterly filings, state and federal, Schedule H, etc. My babysitter appreciates it as well! Good luck and try not to get stressed out. Hopefully it will work out! [/quote]

OP here - can i ask if this was a federal or private sector clearance?

(i hate defending myself but it just keeps me up at night, to the earlier poster...i'm nowhere near a clearance (or even job application) so i am trying to just fix what i did wrong, what got me thinking was the tax extension and that this was extra time I should tackle it).  we filed the amendments and are just waiting to hear back. right now the penalties don't seem bad, but it's the stigma associated with it for potential jobs. gosh, my life back then was so, so different and it just reminds me how much having a kid and moving and handling this has impacted my old self (I used to be so good about being good ha, that's why this is so frustrating and demoralizing)).
