http://www.losthorizons.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1715I am not a stupid person (just blond going gray). I bought 2 CtC books. I have read the book 3 times. I graduated from RN school with honors. I do not file with my husband who is a doctor. BAD PART:his ex wife left him with 350,000 back taxes and penalties that took it to 450,000 after she died. She was an evil woman. Her kids hated her and they didn't even have a funeral for her. Although they were separated they never divorced and filed together. He was so busy and they did not live together and it piled up. He gets so much mail the mailman commented on it. It was difficult for him to get to everything but he claims responsibility for not being more diligent on following up on what was going on. So I'm not saying he's a victimized innocent man. He is a busy man and his patients and work mean more to him than what he was putting on the back burner.
That being said I'll tell you my husband is not a "rich doctor" and we are a little higher up on the food chain but we live modestly and I love him to death. I don't want to lose him because of literally worring [sic] himself to death l We pay the IRS $5,000 a month and almost have state taxes paid off.
Then I hear about Pete (God be with you) Pete and I buy the book.
Problem: We had all our taxes paid for last year and depended on someone to do an offer and compromise and they did it incorrectly. So guess what? Here we are into our next year and have more taxes.
My husband is 75 and works his ass off. He filed for an extension. I wanted to file CTC this year but the information is so overwhelming and we are definitely under the scrutiny of the IRS.
If we have to pay all taxes and penalties using his retirement money we are prepared to work until we drop dead. He works as a contracted doctor for GM and Delphi and gets 1099 misc 5 or 6 of them.
I've been reading your posts and I know you guys stick together and I am a newbie but I feel empowered because of your posts and information, yet stupid. Is the best thing for us to do is file CTC for him and hope some chimpanzee at the IRS will slip it through and then do the offer and compromise or should be bow to the crooks and do it their way until we are out of trouble?--
I know Petes in trouble and I also know he is smarter than they [the prosecutors] are[,] so I am not afraid to file CTC.
We have a sizable house we can offer in compromise and our IRS agent assigned to us, states she thinks because of his age they will settle for the house. We cannot even offer and compromise now because we have to settle taxes 2008. What do you think?
I am going to do CTC next year but am still trying to muddle through all the info to turn in a clean form. We continue to file separately.
Neither of us work for the government but he gets Medicare payments through a small 1 day a week practice of faithful patients and we keep getting more requests from more people. My husband is a good man and people he sees at GM want to change to him as their family doctor so he is getting more patients all the time. His Medicare income is small so if we have to pay taxes on that, no problem. Even though Medicare doesn't tell patients to go to Dr. Herrick, they do have a book of participating providers people can choose from so I think this is a form of referral. Medicare goes through an agency for us called Wisconsin Physician Service to pay us and now they are even using the Blues insurance companies to make payments for them? I apologize for the long post but I'd like opinions, info anything you can give me to expedite this. A lot of people think doctors are real rich but believe me Medicare has beat the sh** out of them. So please judge them as you meet them.
I need help in a nutshell: To correct a 1099 misc 4852 specifies 1099 R.
What form do I use? Does any one out there know where to direct me to the fastest reference of how do to a CTC Properly? I've read through the successful stories and found only a couple of 1040's.
Someone let Pete know we bought a third book and are giving them to people who are in trouble and mad at the IRS. And we will give Pete 10% of anything we get taken off our taxes, and abatements if anything. He needs help and he's got the brains to keep this going. When we get going comfortably with CTC clean returns-our vow is to return to Pete 10%. Any idiot tax lawyer out there would go into business filing CTC for people and taking 10% of the return if they had any brains. Thank you for reading this---anyone!!
I need some good advice. He treats a lot of people here in Michigan for free. That's how good of a man he is.
I submit this very humbly,
Anna Herrick RN[ . . . . ]
EDIT: I like the part where she says that the CtC guys "stick together." Obviously, she has not been paying attention, or hasn't read enough posts over there to see how quickly Pete's Preposterous Pussyfooters will throw someone under the bus.
