Maybe try faking your death? Then desguise yourself as a woman for the rest of your life.

How does that happen - you do freelance? I assume you didn't save 20-25% of your gross earnings in another account?

bankruptcy doesn't free you from taxes

banruptcy is always the last recourse...it wil haunt you for a long time if you do.
There are questions about how the hell you find yourself out of pocket by 14k though. Surely you should get that figure looked at again and perhaps employ and accountant.
Knowing nothing about the IRS in the states, I am sure they would prefer you to pay it, perhaps over time rather than declaring bankruptcy

wish you the best man, it fucking sucks.

btw, did you do the 1099 form? presenting bills and investments could help A LOT.

that's bad, piper! :(
maybe talk to a consultant or an expert friend/relative?
there's always some options to solve the issue in a non-destructive way..

do you guys really think the government cares whether you declare bankruptcy?
THEY WANT THEIR TAXES NO MATTER WHAT!

Yeah, get it double double checked, could be a simple typo somewhere.
My dad had to pay almost 10k back couple of years ago, but he got an accountant to go over it all and it turned out he had to get almost 3k back instead.
never trust em..

i'm pretty sure you can get on a payment plan. only that they can trace your bank account and if you have cash there, you can consider it gone.

true, probably more profitable too
