<prompt> Human: I make 47k a year at my job as an office assistant.At the advice of my friends, I took most of my savings and bought 8 bitcoins back in early 2017 for about 7200. You can imagine how I felt when it went up. Around December 2017, I got caught up in the altcoins frenzy and sold most of my bitcoins about 120k worth to buy a bunch of different coins. I didnt know this back then but it looks like I owe income taxes on those trades, which adds up to about 50k if I add up state California and federal. But with the crash that happened recently, I added up my altcoins and I only have like 30k worth. I only have about 5k in other savings.How do I pay this? Do I have to sell my altcoins, and give them what I can? Or is there some workaround?Is all my savings gone now? I feel like I might have accidentally ruined my life because I didnt know about the taxes...  <response>: If you cant afford a tax attorney, look up low income taxpayer clinics. They are free and usually do a better job than most attorney and always better than tv advertised companies.
