- Exactly the problem we're facing Kasi! Save every scrap of paper you get from them and print every email. Also, if they get really hard to deal with, ask for the number of the IRS advocate and call him/her for help. The Advocate's office is separate, but they have some power - and the collections poeple hate them, lol, because the Advocate can force them to accept a payment schedule. They are the only people on your side at the IRS. Since you're close to a big city, there will be an advocate close to you.

We have an accountant that is suppose to take care of all of this stuff but she moved to Arizona and when we call her about it all she says is "I can't do anything about it unless he gives me power of attorney" which he is more than willing to do.

Hey Jason, CNN just had a story on about Nevada's UMC medical center and how they had to discontinue outpatient cancer treatment. They showed the floor I went to to visit my brother at the hospital. Sad situation there - they pointed out that earning 8.65 an hour puts one over the income limit for state medical aid. It's better to be on welfare than trying to earn a living.
How can the state of Nevada justify that decision? $8.65 is only $1.10 over minimum wage in Nevada. That should definitely qualify someone for Medicaid.
How is the state's decision going to affect your brother's healthcare? He still qualifies as being disabled right?08-17-09 02:05 PMLike 0 - This does sound like a case for the Advocate. We had an arrangement with the IRS office in Denver, but the Electronic payment office didn't have a record of it and were trying to force us to pay a second time - and they refused to research the matter, they said we had no choice but to do what they said. I then found out about the Advocate in a magazine article. I called them and my Advocate froze the pending actions and got it all straightened out.

His wife is older than him and is getting Social Security. That income puts them over the income limit for medicaid. It's looking like they'll have to get divorced to qualify him for medicaid. At least it's Nevada and easy to get divorced quickly - and time matters in his case.
