I'm not clear if the refund is from restating your 2004 return, or if your 2005 return is enough to pay the 2004 payment and leave more to be refunded.  If the second applies, use the "Where's My Refund?" link below.  If you amended you 2004 return, amendments are processed differently that 'normal' returns and always take longer.  It sounds like they should have had time to resolve the issue by now.  Try calling 1-800-TAX-1040.  You could also try going to the nearest IRS office and talking to someone in person.

Often, the best course is to simply call the IRS and put your cards on the table.  Believe it or not, they will help in many cases, as much as is possible.  Good luck.

Do your taxes online.  It's relatively fast and relatively cheap.  They usually say it's "free" to prepare your tax return, but that's the catch:  It's free to "prepare."  Once you're done preparing, you have the choice to either pay them about $8-20 to file your tax return online or start all over again somewhere else.\n\nI filed online the past two years though and I loved it.  I was in control of my own taxes, I didn't have to sit and listen to some CPA and I didn't have to pay the CPA's heafty ransom for preparing my taxes as I did it myself.  You will generally get any refunds back a lot faster too.\n\nIf you want to file your taxes online, go to www.irs.gov and they have a list of sites that do online tax filing, or if you want an easier site to get to, go to www.hrblock.com and they do online taxes as well, that's where I went through.

Honestly there is no way online. If you do find something then you will have to pay out money at the beginning plus have to pay your own taxes out of your checks. ( No money taken from your checks meaning you set money back for the end of the year)

I think he's still supposed to file taxes even without making any money last year. My fiance sorta did the same thing. He had a business that didn't recieve incoming or outgoing income and he got a letter saying that he still needs to file every year. As for FAFSA, there is an option to select to file taxes later and if you select that then after April FAFSA will send you an email or letter asking you to update any information so that it is accurate after your taxes have been filed. Tomorrow is the deadline to recieve grants. You can still recieve grants if you submit after the deadline, but you have a slim chance of actually recieving any,  but you will still qualify for loans or work studies. I suggest you call them and see what you need to do, but don't panic because its not too late taxes aren't due until April. Remember that anytime you need to contact financial-aid offices that you'll need several hours to get through and figure everything out. Is the verification through your school or through FAFSA? You might need to go to the school and go to their financial aid office (that might be better because then you can ask them what they suggest that you do). Go tomorrow so its not too late! Try not to go on Mondays or Fridays and try to go early in the morning! Good Luck!

You're not in trouble, per se, because you have 3 years to file a return in order to get a refund (if due).  But what happens when you don't file a return is that IRS files a Substitute 1040 for you, and then they add penalties and interest to it, and the interest is accumulative, so you're much better off filing it now to eliminate owing them any more than you may already owe.  If you owe and can't pay, they will work out a payment plan with you, and you should take their offer, because the interest they charge is much less than paying it with a credit card.  And you don't need to hire someone to file the return for you; just go to irs.gov, find the form, fill it out and mail it in.

If you don't send anything, they will audit you and find your filing incorrect and ask you to pay the difference and the interest. What is the proof that you can't provide? It's hard to believe they are auditing you just for one thing. Do you think there are more they are questioning? I got a letter once because the number didn't match and they didn't have 1099 to prove it. Because I didn't have time to do all the research, I ended up paying them a couple hundred dollars. However, every IRS employees I talked to was very helpful and polite. Why don't you try telling them you can't find the document and see what they would say?

The law is written so you could technically get in trouble for not filing.  However the IRS is far more concerned with those that owe them money and didn't file.\nIf I were you, I'd file ASAP and get back all you are owed and take back your free loan that you gave to the government.

No, from what you wrote you did not work and had no income tax withheld.  Only income tax is refunded in the USA.  Sales tax is leaved by local governments and they have no refund procedures nor are you entitled to any of these taxes back.\n\nYour home government my have some plan to give you money for this but I don't think so.

Call the IRS and tell them you are in a hardship situation and ask for an Offer in Compromise form.  It is not that difficult to complete .. just answer all the questions honeslty.  I use to work for the IRS and help many get their tax debits forgiven or releave for a small percentage  of the amount claimed due by the government. \n\nIf you have any question post it here and I will figure out a way to share my personal email addy with you... for more detailed questions specific to your case .....

You can't file for anything.  You have to find and employer first.  Your employer will file all the paperwork.

You have to file last years taxes and this year's taxes.  Unfortunately they won't be able to process this year's by e-file because you didn't do last years.  You have to file the paperway, but if you do it early like by this weekend, you could probably see a refund by early april.  They don't usually charge a fine for filing late but they won't pay interest either if they owe you money.
