<prompt> Human: First of all I want to say that Im incredibly stupid for letting this escalate so far. Im also basically clueless about taxes. In 2014 I had a full time job in addition to operating an amazon seller account to make some extra money. I bought DVDs and other merchandise and flipped them on Amazon for a few dollars profit. I made very little after the fees, but it became a fun hobby so I continued. I didnt realize it at the time but my Amazon sales were high enough that I was required to file. I had no idea.Fast forward to this year. I received a letter from the IRS stating that I owe them roughly 14,000 and that I should mail them a check for that amount. I dont have anywhere near that kind of money. My bank account balance rarely exceeds triple digits. Someone suggested I file an amended tax return. So, I dug out all my old receipts, calculated my cost of goods and expenses, and filled out a Form 1040, and mailed it to the IRS with a letter explaining my situation. Several months passed and eventually the form was mailed back to me with no explanation. At this point, I dont know who to contact to fix this, or even if its too late for the amended return to be accepted. The IRS is now making it known that they intend to seize my property. I dont own a vehicle or a home so Im not sure what they can actually take from me.To a tax savvy person, Im sure I sound like a buffoon for letting this happen. I can accept that. I could really use some advice on what to do next.  <response>: Grab a copy of your original 2014 return, a copy of the amended return you prepared, and copies of all IRS notices and correspondence, and find a CPA who works with individual tax or Enrolled Agent to get some help. This sounds like an underreporter case, which means the original notice about the issue was probably a CP2000 issued at the end of 2015 or the first few months of 2016.While you are doing that, call IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-0922 M - F 7am - 7pm local time and speak with a representative. Let them know you are trying to consult with a professional, and ask for a nine week notice hold. Assuming they representative approves, you have about 60 days to get the ball rolling without the IRS moving forward with enforced collections actions. If you cant find the CP2000 in your records, the CSR should be able to provide you with a copy.
