USA tax preparation

[BUSHWHACKER]

Is there a Hua Hin resident who prepares US tax returns?

I'm in Bang Saphan. I'm a semi retired CPA. Let me know what you need, maybe I can help

I sold a home at a loss in USA in 2015 and did not yet submit my tax returns since.
Need to ge them done.
My only other income to report is my military retirement check and SS.

Just a thought-- a CPA told me something, the day before the last date for filling, that I like--- You will not be punished for stupidity, you with not be punished for bad arithmetic--you will be punished for fraud and most of all for not filling. So if in doubt send them a semi-completed badly filled in return with an apology note with several spelling and grammatical mistakes. I did just that and got a refund.

Thanks for that advice.

If it was your home then no filing is necessary although if the escrow company filed a 1099 the IRS may question you. If your retirement, and other income is less than $25,000 then your social security is not taxable. If so and the retirement is less than $13,250 ($14,800 if 65 or older) then no need to file. If more then you are supposed to file.

The IRS (at least most of them) is a business and they rarely take anything personal. If you do owe taxes there could be a late payment penalty and interest owed assessed.

Thanks. There was no escrow company. I held the paper.
Thanks for the info.
