Retirement tax questions
I meant Veterans Administration. My grandfather got a pension from them, after he died, she received a smaller amount and they told her that since she didn't make that much money, she no longer had to file a tax return. It's been a few years and she hasn't filed.
When I took control of everything one of the first things I did was sit down with her to discuss her taxes and she said she hadn't filed in a few years. My heart sank to my butt and I about had a panic attack.
I've been told different things from different people including a few tax advisors. I'm trying to get a consensus of what I should do, just to protect her going forward. Like I said, she doesn't get much from the pension, around $1100 and $1500 from Social Security, after her expenses she's left with very little to herself. I actually pay for some of her stuff, phone, TV that kind of thing.
