I’ve filed and paid taxes for all my career w2 jobs for my entire life. The last 4 years I’ve been pretty consistently working on cars and never claimed or reported the income, it started with friends then friends of friends etc etc, and honestly never thought anything of it.
Making myself hyper paranoid about my BI, had the “oh ■■■■” moment and curiosity got the best of me and I made an average of $5k net each year, for the last 4 years.
I didn’t even consider this until after doing my sf86, I saw the tax question and hit no without a second thought as leaving my old job for this one and doing the sf86 was so stressful.
I plan on meeting with my cpa next week to get this all filed and corrected, luckily I have the savings to make any payment I would owe, what’s the correct way to approach this with my interviewer?
