The employer is a private corporation (not affiliated with state or local govt) and wants this info to verify past self-employment periods. Not a bad reason, but surely this is less than legal and there are other methods of providing that verification.
Now I’m getting letters from the IRS for the years I haven’t filed. I made very little money the first 5 yrs. but made lots (1099) the last two.
I don’t have any saved as I needed to pay some personal debts and survive. Would it be better to hire a CPA, or attorney to represent me or can I work something out with them myself. I don’t have all my w-2’s, can they provide me with them?
