{{{fabooj}}} I remember you writing back when, about the problems you were having collecting from some of your clients. Thus the comment on Twitter about looking at houses in KC.
I would be not surprised to find myself unemployed before year-end, although I don't actually expect it at the moment. Hang in there, I hope your clients get a clue and send you some coin… if it comes down to it, you could always sell your accounts receivable to an aggregator or bill collector. >8-}

I'm so sorry Anika. Is there any way you could add another service to the business your husband you share? LIke Dave Ramsey says,the first thing you worry about is shelter, food, and water. If you have to put everything else on hold, then do it. Well, with the IRS, can you call them and get a forbearance of some kind? With the kids, free activities are everywhere. Is the zoo in your area free? It seems like isn't.
Going back to work won't be the solution because all of your money goes to child care.
You may also request a statutory extension of time to pay tax for up to 6 months if you show that it will cause you undue hardship to pay the tax on the date it is due. Undue hardship means more than inconvenience. You must show that you will have substantial financial loss if you pay your tax on the due date. You will need to submit Form 1127 (PDF), Application for Extension of Time for Payment of Tax, a complete statement of all your assets and liabilities at the end of last month; and an itemized list of money you received and spent for three months before you requested this extension.
I'm an amazing Researcher. If you need someone to help you find solutions and what not, I am here to help.

I'm sad to read that this mess is affecting you as well. I have so many friends and family that are in the same situation and it sucks. There are a lot of good people that are underutilized and we'll all be better off.
*hug* i hate seeing my friends suffer through this crap. i really do. and all i want to do is help... and i wish so hard that i could. is there any way you could set up a chipin widget so your many friends around the world can chip in with a couple bucks here and there to help out? i would really love to donate what i can. serious.

It's frightening how often I'm hearing this type of reality. Check out robblack.com he's got some great financial advice. Wishing you luck.

Thanks you all. A bill collector is a great idea. I know when we were going through a similar situation in 2005, our then-landlord gave us a few names of who he used. I should look into that.

Hey Faboo Mama USC has this new program. They pay for your living expenses and schools good for connections and jobs.
Call me out of the loop but I don't know exactly what your business is. I've heard you talk about going out and taking photos but I wouldn't have a clue as to what it's about. How about a link here to your business website and having some of your blogging friends spread the word? As for payment I thinks it's time to take some money up front in the form of a deposit before work starts. At least youd have some of your time covered and most people who put a deposit don't want to lose it. Lastly I'd be sitting down with paper and pen and figuring out how to broaden things without much effect to the home life.
And as Red Green would say "I'm pullin for you, remember we're all in this together."

Wow! I am late to this. Sorry to hear about what you have been going through. Welcome to George Bush's America. :(
As someone above stated stated, could you give a link to your business, or tell us what field you are in?
I am on the East Coast, but shoot me an e-mail at fnblg@yahoo.com and I will be glad to try and help you if I can.
Hang in there.

I'm in telecom, but it's so rarified, there's not much else we can do with what we do. :(

This is what I got from the IRS site: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc202.html
