There is a form to set up a payment plan with the IRS.  Call the local IRS office and they will help you.  It is always better for you to go to them, than to ignore the situation.

Probably.  There is a heirarchy when they come to atach your wages, and taxes are very high on the list.

Pay all your current bills. Save as much money as possible and the next time you get a lump sum of money like tax time..take the money you have saved and the taxes and pay them off at one time.

What is the question?\n\nYou should speak to an accountant so that you won't get penalized by the IRS.

You will have to wait until next year to file that income since it was recieved in 2006.  What you can do is pay estimated taxes on the amount you just recieved if you haven't already been taxed on it.

You better talk to a tax person.  If you've filed already, and took the deduction, then you'll have to amend.  But if you went to file and realized your mistake, they can help you back out your money.

You will always have to file income taxes even if you do not owe our government money.  Sorry!

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.

The IRS will settle with you.  I would ask them for a settlement amount to get a jumping off point and then if it's too much, counteroffer.  If they don't accept, then let them know you plan on hiring an attorney but would rather give the money to them.  If they still don't come down, hire an attorney that takes payments.

Those payday loan places can really wind up costing you a lot in the end. If you're in a bind, you can go to one of those national tax preperation firms. Several of them offer "holiday loans" or "instant money" loans. They can be paid back with your refund when you file your tax return. You can get up to $1500 in some places, which might be enough to get you through. \n\n    If you're really in a pinch, like if you need money for heating, electricity, or food, you can go to a church or synagogue and ask for help - some also offer classes or advice on money management to break the cycle of borrowing. There are a couple of websites I"d suggest on the matter, and I'll attach them. \n\n     I realize I don't know how much money you need or why... if you're looking for a mortgage or something you could always try a Credit Union if you're eligible. If you have a 401K or life insurance you can typically borrow against them or from them. If you have an IRA you might be able to get some money out of it, depending on the type of IRA and how much you want to pay in taxes. I have borrowed from my family and my boss, but in those cases it's important to know without question when you will pay them back, and DO it - with interest. \n\n     Finally, don't be fooled by anyone who tells you that for a small fee, they will find you a lender. If you have to pay up front for someone to lend you money, it's probably not a good idea - you might never hear from them again.

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.

Yes, but I can't afford it.

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.
