<prompt> Human: Like I said the IRS got me. Back in 20122013 I had a few jobs and I may have not represented them on my returns. The changes I made resulted me in getting an extra 2,000.00 at the time, which was much needed. Fast forward to this year, I have mail from the IRS and they indiciated which jobs I left out and some unemployemnt. Now I OWE back a total of around 6K. My question is, will they negotiate and close for a lesser amount?I have been paying on time every month for the past 6 months, with no issues. IDK if that even matters. I was thinking of calling and saying I have about 4,000 to throw at the debt and see if we can close the account if I pay in lump sum. Has anyone dealt with this scenario before? Need your advice!TIA!  <response>: I would start with trying to see if theyll take the original amount and close the issue. I doubt they will take that though. Oh and keep in mind they know your basic financial situation. If you earned 150k last year, they arent going to buy some sob story about not having the money. Might be different if you earned 20k last year.
