THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME

zappas--If the IRS says that, likely see a tax accountant. Did they say you "did not file returns"? Or that you filed returns showing a tax was due, but did not "pay the tax"? If you filed, you need to work with the IRS to find the lost returns, if you have copies, or your name changed, or whatever. If you did not file, you (or a tax accountant) need to figure out if you actually owed any tax for that year. The IRS only has info on your income, not your possible deductions, so they assume no deductions if you ignore them. Don't let a deadline for responding pass! Sometimes people discover that their withholding was more than any tax would have been, so they could have gotten a refund, but by failing to file on time they not only have to deal with the IRS to show that noting was actually due, and avoid making a payment (with interest and penalties), but the time to get a refund may have expired. Good luck.

Sell while you can. Basically all transactions a taxable in 2022. Sleepy Joe sez so.
