  3 0 Please clarify: Have you already filled out your tax return? Do you owe money from a previous tax return or other debt? Your EIC calculation will be included on your tax return, reducing any amount you owe or increasing your refund. If you have a previous IRS debt, they will keep any refund and send you a letter explaining what they did, your new balance, and your options. Does this make sense? meggo answered in News & Politics over 2 years ago | Report 7 comments by freikja, meggo, and freikja… 0 0 "Please clarify: Have you already filled out your tax return? Do you owe money from a previous tax return or other debt?" Yes to the first, and l guess so to the second. l didn't realize l owed money, so l have to figure out where and why. l didn't file my taxes last year, and l didn't file in 2007, so that may be the problem. Your second paragraph pretty much answered my question, though. Thank you so much!!! Edit: One more question, while l have you, if you happen to know the answer. ls there an online tax site where l can file my previous years' returns? freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Yep, the United Way runs a free tax prep program at the downtown library that can do prior year returns back to 2006. Come today, Wed, or Thurs, between 12-5 (come early to sign up, there will be a wait), and there is an IRS rep here that can print all of your W-2 or other documents from those years if you don't have them. meggo commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 THANK you!!! l wish l could give out two mushrooms. Freikja, who is completely and utterly clueless when it comes to taxes in general... freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Be sure to bring ALL your paperwork, and facts and figures, in an organized form, so that they can help you. A bushel basket is not as helpful as a few file folders that you can whip open and pull something out for them. They know their stuff, but realize they will be swamped. They want to help as many people as possible, but can't lie, cheat or change numbers or rules for you. You get an honest return prepared as quickly as possible for you, IF YOU ARE READY TO ROLL WITH THEM. Good luck. They are champs! O my captain commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 l got W-2's and that's it. No deductions, no extras. Hopefully that'll make it easier. :) l plan to go in tomorrow; how early would you recommend showing up? freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 If you sign up when the library opens at 10am, you'll be first in when we start at noon. If you sign up after that, expect a 1-3 hour wait. Try filing in March next year. :) meggo commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 awesome answer, meggo. You should've landed that pagliacci AOTW gift IMO.
