I stopped working in 2007 due to health issues.I had started a business in During that time I had a tax service do my taxes and they used several expences as deductions,so I recieved money back on my taxes.
When I attempted to collect SSDI several monthes ago I was told by SSA that I did not have the required numbers of credits in the past 10 years.
The clerk suggested that I file amended returns for the last 4 years that would show I paid into SSI.
I looked into this,and the cost is quite high,and on top of that I would have to pay interest and a penalty ,combinded almost $17,000.00.I have no problem doing that ,however I don't want pay the money just to be told I can not do that.

Has anyone had this same issue,and if so how did you make out?
