The problem is 10 years on going. I have the local "tax lady" working on it,but we seam to be getting nowhere. My records are poor at best, and making sense of what we git from the IRS is impossible. Are the advertised tax lawyers the best way to go?

JK Harris and that type of group are NOT the people you want for this situation. Find a CPA or Enrolled Agent, and not one of the ones that have the slick TV ads.

Don't use JK Harris. Try google "JK Harris" and you will read all about them. How did you have $250,000 and are you sure you owe these taxes? Sometimes people don't realize they do not owe these amount. Is this as a result of not filing? If yes, perhaps getting all your returns up to date may lower your taxes. By any chance that you owe this money because of the sales of stocks?

I think you need to find a new "local tax lady". She should be experienced to sort through what you have gotten from the IRS and be able to work with you to straighten out things with the IRS. And it should not have taken 10 years, especially if she has been working with you all this time. Not sure what state you reside in (I'm a CPA in MA if that helps at all), but you should be able to call local CPA's in your yellow pages pages under accountants, and explain your situation to one of them. Now that the busy time of tax season is over they should be able to work with you to resolve things.

Actually, the IRS records are very good. If you have not filed in years, and they have sent you printouts of information, then it is this information that was reported to the IRS (i.e., w-2, 1099's, etc.) by the various organizations. If your records are "poor" then you will have to utilize the IRS printouts. You just can't make stuff up - you may ultimately have to prove your numbers if you are considered self-employed, or partnered in business.

Find a tax preparer that is gray haired and grouchy and put your problem in front of him or her; it will be solved shortly.

Generally.....No.
They are very good at taking your money and not doing anything for you. Search on "Ripoffreport.com" and you will see.
