Taxes continue

**in the divorce it was settled on that G would pay the back taxes since he spent the tax refund check they sent that would have covered this debt.

Nov 9 9:26am Me: I got a call from the tax guy today. He is giving me 1 week to pay the $558.11 or they are coming after me for the money. Can you use your student loans or the money from your 401k to pay this???

Nov 9 9:59am G: you can amend our 2008 taxes to get another $300. You were pregers with S and therefor we should have gotten half credit for her in the stimulus. You and C have the turbo tax stuff on your computer and I don’t remember the account info. The 401k money wont be here for 60 days or more and my student loan money wont be here in the next week. I have been very transparent in my finances to this point. That will no longer be the case after this text. I will only show and discuss my finances that are required annually after this point as is required for the purpose of calculating child support. I will be taking the kids to daycare tomorrow. I have business and homework to take care of. You didn’t say anything about next week though. Is there a problem with me watching the kids while you are at work?

Nov 9 10:02am Me: I will be following the divorce decree which states the kids will attend daycare 3 days/week.

Nov 9 10:06am G: except I have first right of refusal which says I can watch the kids when you can not for any period of time greater than 4 hours.

Nov 9 10:06am Me: It also states you cannot remove them from their daycare.

Nov 9 10:12am G: I wont be. But I do have FIRST right of refusal… that means I get the kids… that’s what FIRST RIGHT means.  Why are you putting the kids in the middle of our arguments? They would want to be with me. Missing a week or two while I look for work wont delay them in any way and would save you a considerable chunk of change. It’s a win win. Why are you fighting against that?

Nov 9 10:35am G: Finding a job is really a Monday thru Friday thing so, I’d like to follow the schedule that we have arranged for me to have every other weekend and one overnight a week. I will take the kids Tuesday mornings and return them Wednesday afternoons. I will come get them next Friday afternoon and return them Monday.

Nov 9 2:28pm Me: Do you want the tax guys number so you can call and try to make a payment arrangement with him?

Nov9 2:42pm G: I am not talking with you about money anymore. If you would like to discuss the kids and parenting time I would be happy to talk to you. I need to set up some interviews. I need to know what days I will have the kids. Do you agree to every other weekend and one night per week? I would like the kids Tuesday returning Wednesday next week.

Nov 9 :35pm Me: yes you may have the kids next Tues to Wed

Nov 9 5:39pm G: Thank you. And about switching to weekends? It would be easier for me to schedule interviews and go to job fairs having the kids on the weekends. That will be my schedule anyway. I think we should make the switch now.

Nov 11 1:13pm Me: I closed out my 401k and will receive the money in 3 to 5 days. You should be able to do the same. The tax guys number is 602-***-****. You can call him and work out a payment plan.

Nov 16 1:11pm G: I have paid the state most of the $550+ so you should be minimally impacted.

Nov 16 1:14pm Me: When and how much? How did you pay?

Nov 16 1:15pm G: I have paid over $475 and that doesn’t matter.

Nov 16 1:17pm Me: I am on the phone with the tax guy right now. He doesn’t show any payments and requires a confirmation number. If you want to call him direct and speak to him the case #1346130.

Nov 16 1:18pm G: I did call him. He didn’t answer.

Nov 16 1:19pm Me: Well to let me off the hook you will have to give him the confirmation info for your payment.

Nov 16 1:19pm G: the state garnished my checks. And have collected well over $500

Nov 16 1:21pm Me: He wont talk to me about your back taxes. It could be they applied it to your back taxes from before we were married. And then it doesn’t count for “our” taxes. Only yours. He wont discuss that with me though because it is confidential tax info.

Nov 16 1:25pm G: well they levied my entire final check from Marriott. Sorry. I don’t have any extra funds to pay that down any further.
