A couple of years back i got a notice from the IRS saying i owed like 2500. I called them and it was from a school credit tax break thing i was given but the school never sent in the paperwork saying i paid for school that year. A lot of the friends i went to school that year said the same thing had happened to them. I can go to the school and provide a receipt that i paid for school that year. However i had moved away and the school wouldn't give me any records without me being in person. I figured eh its only 2500 they can take my taxes for a couple of years and ill clear it up when i move back. (yes i am terrible at this sort of stuff) I moved back a couple of months ago and can now get the proof i paid for school that year. However i just got a notice saying my debt had been sent to a collections agency.
- how can i prove that i don't owe the debt. Do i need to prove it to the IRS or prove it to the collection agency, will they believe me?
- will i get my back taxes back that they took for a couple of years to pay the "debt" i never owed in the first place.
- Will i get a tax refund this year since my debt was passed to a 3rd party agency?
- if i dont owe it and this hits my credit rating, i can get it removed through the fair credit thing right? possibly with a lawyers help i read in the wiki?
