You got some pretty bad responses here, I'm afraid.\n\nDeal with the state first.  States will come out and shut down your business in relatively short order, while the IRS can take a long, long time to get around to you and doesn't have the same power to simply close your doors like the state does. Getting closed down would leave you without the income you will need to repay the taxes.  Some states will arrest people for state tax debts, too.  Handle the state first, and pay what you can to the IRS later.  You naturally will need to deal with the IRS later, but I think you'll find it easier to do with your business still operating.

You must pay state taxes and federal taxes once a year.

The answer is whomever files first.  But if you're actually married and actually a couple, I suggest that deductions go to the person who needs them most.  Whomever gets the biggest tax break should take it.  And then split the savings with the other spouse.

no u can't u are subjected to pay taxes wherever u might go or which state u settle in. paying taxes is all part of assisting the government in rendering us services, so without taxes u wouldn't have the necessary help from the govern.

You should pay some estimate so you don't get penalized.  If your tax liability is not within 15% of what you paid in throughout the year you'll be liable for penalties.

Why not call a tax attorney (some offer a free first consultation). Find out from him/her what you need to do and how to handle it.\n\nIf you owe a lot, many times, a tax attorney can work out a deal with the IRS where you only pay a fraction of what you owe. As I see it, contacting an attorney, even if you have to pay, is probably the best way to go.

Been there done that.  Yes.  You pay taxes in BOTH countries.  The US gives you the first $80k or so "free", but you still get hit for state taxes and you MUST file no matter how little you make.  H&R Block charges about $200 for this "special" filing.

I recommend purchasing TurboTax and finding what it says you owe.  Then, even if you do use an accountant, you have something to bounce it against.

Your creditors can easily seize your land and besides, you'll lose it anyway since you won't pay the taxes.\n\nUse the pay to live on while you find a better job. Invest in yourself. You sound like you need to get your head screwed back on straight.

Find out which state collect less taxes first and then move to that state or file 50/50?

It depends on how much you made. If you made over $7000 each year then yes, you need to file your back taxes ASAP. You will not have to pay it all at once. You can pay installments. Just hurry and do it before you get audited and fined.

Your best bet is to make a payment plan with the irs. This way you can still go to your friends wedding, and won't get charge a pently for not filing.Make sure you change your W4 and get more taxes taking out.

You should probably speak with a tax attorney or an accountant to make sure you follow federal guidelines.

The 20k will be treated as income, and so you have to pay income tax on it. (both federal & state)

Since you're getting the money w/o tax withholding.  You should also look into paying estimated taxes.  Otherwise, if you owe taxes when filing tax return, you might get charged with interest for the tax payment due.

You would be better off spreading it out, but if you want the money now, just claim more exemptions on your W-4 so they take less tax out. In the end, it doesn't matter because you'll just resolve it on tax day, so it only matters whether you want the money all right now.

H&R Block can answer that. Or call your State tax commision.
