Will I be able to get a refund check this year if I already owe $6,000 in back taxes?

Not likely. The IRS will apply any refund from this year to what you owe in back taxes. If your refund amount is greater than your past tax liability you'll get the difference.

If you owe back taxes, the IRS will simply keep your "refund" as payment for those debts.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
