They are coming after her now. She has some savings which is mostly from Social Security, and all the rest of her money is in her retirement account. Will they be able to take her retirement account? She needs that to pay for memory care. I'm her daughter & POA.
There was absolutely no criminal neglect here. She was very meticulous about everything up until about 2015 when everything started falling away and nobody knew what was going on until all the damage was done. When I found out, I stepped in and shut down her business.
I know I need to see a lawyer with her but just wanted to bounce this off of you all and see if anybody's been in a similar situation or if you know if the tax agencies will be able to take her retirement account to satisfy the debt.
It was an S corp so she was required to report any earnings or loss from the business on her personal taxes but she didn't file her personal taxes either :/ I tried filling out her personal tax for 2018 a few months ago and I am at a total loss because I I don't know how to report her business income or loss because she literally wasn't keeping any records the last couple years!
