someone out there that resolved a similiar situation with some sage advice. i've been putting off the inevitable. i need to know answers to several questions: do i need an attorney if i have no assets--property, etc. if not, do i use a tax negiotator or go solo? and if i do need an attorney, what would be reasonable fee for their services. i owe approximately $40,000 to the IRS and all i have is a retirement account that i can liquidate--with a substantial penalty involved. i'm willing to pay what i owe, but not the penalties and interest because i still have to deal with california's franchise tax board bill. if they won't budge is the possibility of bankruptcy a good bargaining chip? or can it backfire with possibilty of jail time. help. i let this go because i have major medical problem (physical) that had me feeling soo bad that i thought was going cause me to die young, thereby relieving of the burden. well, i didn't die and the malady is treatable. so no lecture, just advise, pls
