Each year, millions of taxpayers owe money to the IRS due to underpayment of taxes, penalties, or other liabilities. While the exact number varies annually, reports indicate that in recent years, around 10-15% of taxpayers may carry a balance due at some point during the tax season. This translates to tens of millions of individuals and businesses owing the IRS at any given time. The IRS also frequently provides updates on tax delinquencies and compliance statistics.

What if a creditor doesn't send you a 1099c form how will I know if they intend to send this to the IRS and will I be responsible for the debt if it is not sent to the IRS?

Taxpayers can always request a copy of their Wage & Income Transcript from the IRS each year. This report provides you with everything that has been reported against your social security number for the current year. The IRS compares your Wage Transcript against your file return each year. If you do not receive a 1099-C in one year, then there is a possiblity that the company issuing the 1099-C could report it in the next year. I would highly suggest that all taxpayers request a copy of their transcript so that they report everything. In a case where you receive the 1099-C but the company does not send it to the IRS, you are still legally bound to report the debt discharge. Sharon http://taxresolutionaries.blogspot.com

Will taxpayers pay for the immigration lawyers for illegal aliens if working in agriculture under the proposed immigration bill?

...No human being is illegal. The IRS doesn't care if someone is here legally or not, all that matters is if they owe monies to the IRS. So, if someone works in the USA who is not properly documented, they still need to file with the IRS. Many "illegal aliens" pay taxes, so the become taxpayers. Now isn't that funny they are also taxpayers and therefore that money should be earmarked for their legalization process, it's only fair.
