I would like to file this week, I have only minor charges ($400 across 5 CC's) 75-90 days ago, although some of the charges are out of the country (I was visiting family). I am going Pro Se, due to having very little money, and no assets. I have NOLO and have read about every thread here last couple months. I am trying hard to do this right and am being brutally honest. I would prefer a lawyer but I can't swing it.
I did the pre-counseling, means test, and am using a Form Preparer to ensure it is filled out correctly. I have run through it and can make changes still before printing it out. I feel pretty good but there is one area I would greatly appreciate some thoughts on please.
I had a corporation that lost $4000 in 2008 (it did $15,000 in sales) and was officially closed down on January 5, 2009. It was included in last years taxes.
I also have another corporation (also closed) in 2007 that I never did anything with, and I filled out a form with the IRS saying the EIN was never going to be used again, as it was a venture that was abandoned (or something to that effect). It wasn't included in my taxes as nothing happened.
So I am assuming I should list both EIN's? Any thoughts on small corporations (it was an online store) would be greatly appreciated. Anything I have to watch out for, or other info I have not foreseen? Does anyone see any flags? How about the out of country CC charges? I could wait a couple more weeks if that might be wiser but would prefer do it now.
Thank You
