My parents are struggling to make ends meet. They would sell the house and get something smaller, but becasue they owe the IRS so much money, they would not see anything for it. What kind of work (other than MLM online biz) can you suggest? Thank you for your help.

Check with the senior citizens clubs in your area. What did he do for a living? Can he do any consulting in that industry?

You should consider starting a business (other than MLM) for which your parents can work for you. You all make out with tax credits, income, etc. My local library has a book which I cannot remember the name of but something to do with extra income for retirees. Check with your library for that book and others on the subject. You'll get sound advice on jobs and businesses that have been researched. These days people don't make alot of money working for others. You and your family should consider a home business with legitimate tax credits and write offs, health insurance coverage, etc.

Is your father healthy? I only ask that because I think of the greeters at Wal-Mart. They are usually elderly, but have to be on their feet quite a bit.
Also, can you call some of the community agencies for assistance. Look in the phone book for government numbers to help with elderly/aging. They might qualify for food stamps, help with medications, or help with utilities to help ease the budget.
I wish you and your family the best.

~ Beachman...
~ Pray
~ Pray that they would have assistance in getting the IRS problems resolved to free up any of the money that is being with held from them... that should be enough to prevent dad from having to go back to work...
~ You and your father should seek help from the Senior Pastor of your church... get the prayer warriers busy praying over the solution to their delema with the IRS and/or their home and/or debt problems.
~ It takes hard work to provide income... it's not done by gambling, but by hard work, which your father has done all of his life. Perhaps, now, it's time for you to step up to the plate and help your father... after all... he provided for you until you left the 'nest'... food, clothing, shelter...
Pray...

renting out rooms in their house would appear to be an answer
