I have a $300 bill for local taxes from them from 2014 they're trying to collect. I'll probably just end up paying it unfortunately. It's just a mess of factors that prevents proving I paid:

  1. The employer I worked with at the time is entirely defunct
  2. I was just getting back on my feet after being homeless. Housing was unstable and rapidly changing, so all of my documents are gone.
  3. I'm struggling to verify my IRS identity, but once I do, I'm hoping my Taxreturn is present.
  4. The tax software I used doesn't have my old returns saved...
  5. I have no idea where else I could find my W2 from.

Unfortunately just paying $300 is worth not having my credit fucked.

Yes this is what I’m telling OP. A missed $10 local tax can be 1000s and fuck your credit. It’s not really worth fighting them. It can be from where u lived or where you worked. It’s a random bill sent to you always watch out for it.

Yeah, if you have documents proving them wrong it's worth fighting, but if you don't... It might be better paying
