Ill keep it brief while including whatever relevant information i have.

2013, I was dating a girl who convinced me to claim her kids on my income taxes, because if she claimed them, the moneybwould just be taken to her student loan repayment.

My stupid, naive, gullible ass did so.

We got like $7,000, split it, a few weeks later we break up and arent talking anymore.

Fast forward another year, I file my taxes, uncle sam says "Uh, wtf?" I get audited.

My dad dies. My dog dies. My next girlfriend cheats, robs me, and leaves me. I spiral into depression, barely survive the next few months, and ignore the letters from the IRS (never even opened them), the amount is something like $15,000 (for reference, I make about 22-25k annually.) I havent filed my taxes since.

Continue ignoring. The money is sent to collections.

Can I file for a tax refund again? If I do, will the IRS just update my file and start garnishing my wages? Should I get an attorney, or would I just be wasting money? Im really at a loss for what to do here. If I can get by with never filing taxes again but avoiding prison/a huge garnishment thats fine. Id really like to get back in the G-man's good graces, though, but if they garnished my wages or threated me with prison Id probably just blow my brains out on the spot.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm gully aware of how completely mentally fucking retarded I was at the offset.

You're fucked anon. Just take the prison sentence and do your time. Cheaper and less headache.

You could have claimed her kids if she wasn't, not sure why you don't just respond to the IRS and tell them that. This isn't nazi germany or something they are just another government organization like the DMV. Contact them and explain what happen and they get it all cleared up for you.

What you did was fine though. All you had to do was literally just tell them you were supporting those kids that year. I don't know if you're fucked that you waited so long, but in the end you never owed them anything. You literally just have to contact them and explain what happened and see if can be resolved. You committed no crime, and did nothing wrong, you shouldn't feel guilty.
