ilovebruisesonmyshins asked:


i filed my 2004 taxes with a business i had. i showed all the money coming in and out. i used my retirement fund until it depleted. i claimed my profits and losses on the tax form. but the IRS wants to reclaim the 10 grand (well 999.89….which i keep getting turned down from tax help toll free numbers because i am a few bucks short) but duh !!! if i showed where the income came from, why are they asking me me to pay taxes again on the money i claimed as a loss????
