Email me. Contact info in profile. The IRS cannot waive interest. That's the law. They can waive penalties but not just because. There has to be a reason. The IRS has procedures to follow. It's a bureaucracy. See if you can fit yourself in the rules. (The rule book is the Internal Revenue Manual and it is online).
I will put you in touch with someone who is good at this.

- bad_decisions 12y agoI don't see your email, but see a link. Does your username@domain suffice? Thanks so much! edit: I see it. Wow I am so stressed that I fail basic reading right now.

- Oculus 12y agoThis is why I love the HN community. HN can be a harsh bunch, but I'm in awe how whenever a member needs help someone always step up to the plate.
- hluska 12y agoI was just thinking that exact same thing. How many places are there on the entire planet where you have access to this many compassionate, intelligent people with bonafide expertise??
- crashandburn4 12y agoI appreciate the clearly marked "Appeal to authority" as it is both relevant information and clearly marked as to it's (unintended I assume) auxiliary consequences. Very classy move, will be copying it in future.
- scottlilly 12y agoFrom a similar personal experience, definitely contact a tax lawyer or "Enrolled Agent". They know the system. An Enrolled Agent helped me get my situation resolved relatively quickly, which let me move on with my life.
