So it’s pretty much guaranteed at this point I can’t come up with the money this year to do taxes. With just a couple weeks left to get them done it’s a minimum of $60 for someone to do them and we are likely to owe more than $500 is my guess. I cannot figure out how to do them myself nor do I know anyone who does. I make to much for any kind of help but not enough to help myself.
Honestly any guidance is appreciated…
assuming you’re not in some weirdly abnormal circumstances (crypto?), it’s pretty simple to download a form 1040 and the instruction booklet. For the cost of printing it out and mailing it (at most a few bucks,)
as for paying the taxes, it’s generally better for you if you work something out with the IRS (a playment plan, etc,) rather than letting them do the collections route. They may have free tax advice on that matter as well.
You can also order the forms (they come with instructions) to be sent to you by mail from the IRS for free. See https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/forms-and-publications-by-us-mail.
Also one’s local library will likely have copies. (Or perhaps let you print out form-fill able versions at no cost.)
