Don;t let the state intimidate you, it s the Feds you always try to please - no matter what:). Here s where you pull your paperwork together.Find your tax returns and any papers you kept from 2004 until you stopped doing the business. You simply have to prove your earnings for that time period, and don t volunteer you were doing the same work prior to that!Next, if you can get them contact the IRS for your federal return earnings statement from those years (2004 until you stopped the work). Finally find a paralegal service or a contingency attorney, tell them what you stated and give them the files. Never fight a battle if you don t have to, there are people hungry enough to do it for you.As for the state, don t speak with anyone there or send them anything until you have your ducks in a row. Besides, if your assets from your business are less than the amount you owe, they can not force you to sell your primary residence to pay it off.Good luck. Now go have a beer and relax! It s not worth dying over.
