Clarifying Questions:What question can I help you with, thanks?

Customer
I'm under employment background check. The employer is NYC Department of Investigation. The background check is deep. I released my Federal and State tax returns. I am worried about my cash employments that i didn't report. I don't know if they do a taxes audit or what exactly they check out in my tax returns
img

Ray, Expert

I would just sit tight here. If you filed returns and have no years where you didn't file at least a return you should be fine. Not a lot you can do about it at this point. Just sit tight here.

Customer
Can they get me prosecuted after background check? they will call me for interview with my investigator, so i have no idea what questions I should answer and maybe I have a right not answer some questions
img

Ray, Expert

No they would not have you prosecuted. Don't admit to any cash employment under the table.
Customer
I put

Ray, Expert

Put what?

img

Ray, Expert

Don't admit to any cash employment or not reporting on taxes. Walk away from job here if you have to do so.

Customer
Its my work history and put the information about the employment in the background check application. They're supposed to call my private employers to proof my work history. I dont know what questions they will ask them and how should they answer
img

Ray, Expert

I mean there are inconsistencies that you cannot explain. You listed jobs but no income on taxes. Could be real problem.

Customer
there is nothing i can do?
img

Ray, Expert

You can amend your tax returns and be honest and have it match what employment you claimed.

img

Ray, Expert

Sorry thats the only option other than withdrawing application here.

Customer
Really?so they can report me to IRS if they find something?
img

Ray, Expert

No they just won't hire you because of the lies/inconsistencies on your application.
