<prompt> Human: I really dont know where else to turn. Due to poor decision making my gf hadnt filed her tax returns since 2010. The IRS got back to her and said she owed about 7,000 to federal which was approx what we were expecting. She was able to sign up for a monthly payment plan with them and we waited to hear from Oregon.Well we got a packet from them in the mail a couple days ago and it says for taxes, plus fees, plus interest she owes over 11,000. Needless to say we cant figure out how she could possibly owe more to Oregon than she does to the IRS. But we also simply cant afford that.Im trying to exhaust every option. Can anybody advise us?Edit: Im sorry if I wasnt totally clear, I am also looking for advise on how to best reduce that amount of money with either the state or a third party or whatever. Thanks again.Assistant: Oregon looks harsher than the IRS for penalties which is likely the reason. And your gf fits all of them.20 percent failure-to-file penalty You must pay a penalty if you dont file your return within three months after the due date including extensions. The penalty is 20 percent of the unpaid tax. The failure-to-file penalty is in addition to the 5 percent failure-to-pay penalty. Additional 25 percent failure-to-file penalty If you fail to file a return within three months of the due date including extensions, we may send you a notice with a demand that you file. If you dont file a return within 30 days of the date the demand letter was mailed, an additional penalty of 25 percent of the unpaid tax will be assessed 100 percent failure-to-file penalty If you dont file returns for three consecutive years by the due date of the third years return, including extensions, you must pay a 100 percent failure-to-file penalty on the tax due for each yearHuman: Well. That seems messed up but I guess that makes that number feasible.  <response>: Shes missed seven years of taxes, Id be thankful nothing more arose from this.
