In 2017, 2018, and 2019 I was on drugs pretty bad and hadnt made much money, I was also homeless off and on for most of that time. I got clean in April of 2020 and have remained so since then. But to answer your question, I definitely made less than $12,000 for each of those years. The only income I received would have been untaxable at best also.. So Idk where that puts me, but I hope I’m not at risk of some sort of tax evasion now too on top of her attempt at taking advantage of me.. Technically I have been on the streets for quite some time and have never filed taxes due to being claimed a dependent by my mother up until around 2015..
As far as the tax returns, I have recovered the return copies from each year and have even tracked down the evidence of her taking my stimulus checks illegally. I really hesitate to put her in any legal trouble because it goes against my character, but im between a rock and a hard place and currently not doing so well since unemployment ran out. I have tried to get a job for the last 3 months but to no avail (pretty sure my face tattoos get in the way...). But i NEED this return and the stimulus funds asap, regardless of her possibly getting in legal troubles as a result.
Also she has claimed my IRS account and wont give me access. I only discovered she did all this when I attempted to do the Non-Filers option for the first stimulus payment. I have had to investigate on my own the whole way through up until recently when I discovered where she got the taxes done and threatened the tax guy until he turned over all the records he had available.. This has been exhausting to say the least and I’m sure its going to be a long time before its all settled, but these funds are critical to my survival at this point. I have no safety net to speak of and risk homelessness very soon here... Thank you for your help, your contribution to my situation is greatly appreciated sir.
