<prompt> Human: Wassup everyone!I unfortunately got laid off in about July of last year.Started collecting unemployment and working under the table for a friend of a friend electrician by trade, worked under the table doing carpentry.Unbeknownst to me, My unemployment checks were not being taxed before they got to me. Apparently there was a box I was suppose to check if I wanted them to come to me pre taxed. This wasnt too big of a hit as I believe I only owed around 400 from this.The kicker is when the friend of a friend I was working for sent me a 1099 in the mail. Before I started working for him I made it crystal clear that it had to be under the table or I could not do it. Im not sure where he got mixed up yea it is what it is now.I did not file my taxes until about a week ago so I just found this.Anyways, Im back to working now and making decent money for a single man in his 20s about 25002 weeks.Problem is Ive had some some slight financial hardships lately bills, car, loaninggiving money to a family member and I only have about 3000 in my whole account at the moment, with some bills on the way.What do I do? can I send them payments? I mean I can pay them off in a matter of a month but right now I will not be able to.TL;DR - Owe 3000can only pay about 1500 right nowcan pay the rest in a matter of a monthWhat do I do?  <response>: You also have a very serious unemployment problem. You will likely be required to repay all or some of the benefits you received since you were working and have a 1099 showing income when you were collecting benefits. Its called fraud.Id seriously consider consulting with an attorney and clearing this up before youre caught and potentially subject to criminal prosecution!!
