He owes close to a million dollars to federal and state.

In 2006 he did not file. The IRS estimated his earnings and filed for him. As of 3/22/2011 he owed 187,000.00 just for this year with taxes and penalties. He has not filed any taxes since then. He has been getting mail every month forwarded to him and he just ignores it. He worked on a 1099 until 18 months ago. He receives a military retirement of $1400.00 a month. In january we applied for a home loan and 10 days later we got a garnishment letter from a student loan that he has for $30,000 and never made one payment on it. The garnishment is over $900 a month. I am sure the reason this happened is they could not find him. Now he is getting letters constantly from the IRS. I provided them with all the info that I had including the 1099, W2, Bank accounts, deposits, and the garnishment letter.

He makes plenty of money and if he had taken his responsibilities responsibly he would not be in this mess. One year alone he made $178,000 driving a truck with nothing to deduct. He just assumes he will not get caught but he sure did with the student loan and I am sure right now the State of KS. is looking for him. they have his work address and his home address and now all the paper work I sent him. Time to step up and pay.

Yes Sally Mae did find him exactly 2 weeks after we applied for a home loan and sent the Garnishment to go into effect March 29. This was one of the last pieces of mail that came to my house before he changed his address. He worked on a 1099 for 8 yrs and just came into the office 18 months ago. I have boxes and boxes of receipts , food and hotel bills, truck repairs etc from when he was on the 1099. One year he came home one weekend a month and he made $178,000. He also has the $1400. a month retirement. I sent the bank statements, 1099, W2 the bills from IRS and from Fanny Mae to the IRS. I am sure the IRS has found him because I gave them his work address and all the phone numbers. He kept moving and no one could find him but then he was stupid and applied for the home loan knowing full well that then everyone would know where he was. My question is how soon will the IRS actually take from his bank account or his pay check. He also has land in TX and the title is still

Someone is SERIOUSLY shoveling the BS in this story. There's NO way that he made $178k with no business expenses driving a truck. A company long haul driver can pull down $50k to $65k including fuel and safety bonuses with a lot of experience. An owner-operator who stays on top of every dime can pull $70k - $85k or so solo or maybe $100k - $110k after expenses. The gross to get there is well over $178k. Fuel cost alone is around $.65 per mile.

If Sallie Mae found him then the IRS would have as well. The IRS takes precedence and they can levy a much larger percentage of his pay than Sallie Mae can garnish.

Something is clearly rotten in the state of Denmark. This is one to walk away from.

That depends on whether or not you actually owe. If the person was due a refund all those years, the IRS will do nothing.

"He owes close to a million dollars to federal and state." - he would already be in prison. They don't wait 8 years for their money, and for that much, you go to federal prison.

He is lying. He barley made a million dollars in that 8 years, so unless he's the only person in America that is in the 100% tax bracket, he's full of s***.

He would be in prison. He will be soon if what you say is true. If he was getting a 1099 though, they knew where to find him.

It would be highly irregular that this person is not under a levy right now if they owed $1 million in back taxes going back that far.

It sounds like someone is blowing smoke out their backside. Wage earners generally won't rack up that kind of tax debts since taxes are withheld from their wages. And there's no chance that anyone earning $133k per year would rack up $1 million in tax debts in 8 years since that's nearly every dime that they would have earned in 8 years.

Depends on whether they can find him
Depends how high or low he is on their list
Depends how much income they're showing him as having received
Depends on how much withholding he has on the job

Working on a 1099 means he was self employed and obliged to file a tax return if he received $400 in self employment during year
IRS is slow to catch people, but relentless once on their trail
Sounds like he's past-due for a levy, garnishment

Who is "He?" If it's not you then it's not your debt and you need not be concerned.

IRS can and probably is levying on his military retirement and anything else they can latch on to. They won't tell you that though. The appropriate place for IRS to send mail is the taxpayers last known address which apparently is yours.
