QUESTION
I worked abroad in 1996-2000 and that income is missing from Social Security.
Asked on Sep 10th, 2014 on Social Security - New Jersey
More details to this question:
During those tax years, the accountant did not properly advise me. I filed revised returns for those years in 2001 and paid an additional $350,000 in taxes. The IRS apparently did not update my social security records and now my benefits are not properly calculated. I have no record of the tax returns and the employer has no record of my income. Will the IRS still have those tax returns for those years and if so, how do I get them to report the income to Social Security?

You can request copies of your old tax returns from the IRS. go to the IRS website - there are forms you will need to fill out requesting a copy of an old return or returns. You may need to make an apointment with your local Social Security Adminsintration office and physically take the ftaxx returns to the office in order to get your Social Security corrected.
