- Q. Old company under my name I need to clean my name
- A: This is a difficult situation. You will need to actively prove to the IRS that you should not be responsible for the taxes due. Hopefully, there is time to file an appeal. If not, there are other ways to remove the liability.
- Q. I was served papers yesterday for contempt of court by my ex-husband stating I did not pay tax debt how to proceed?
