My taxes are past due and I need help. I dont want to lose my house over $1800. I have just had a bad year and need help. I had lost a long time job (10 yrs) earlier in the year which set me back. I am now working full time but I have gotten behind.

This is for my local taxes through the county. Do I still contact the IRS???

Best advice I can give is to make sure you have all your returns filed with the IRS. Then, if you owe money contact your local IRS office and tell you want to set up a payment schedule to pay off the back taxes. They will give you a payment plan. Most likely they will require verification of your current financial status [e.g. bank statements, pay checks, etc.] and ability to pay the taxes immediately. Once you set up your payment Do no violate the conditions they give you. Good Luck!

If you own you home and only owe $1800, ask you bank about a home equity loan. Because paying the taxes protects their interest as well as yours, they are likely to be more flexible than other lenders.
Most tax authorities will work with you an a payment plan. They don't want the hassle of foreclosing and selling the house.

The best bet is to contact the taxing authority and explain your situation. They don't want to take your house away, either, so they are generally agreeable to working things out.

go to the irs and tell them you need to work out a payment deal so you can get back on track, thats all there is to it.
