I have ordered one, it should be here in a couple days. I will have to get my files from storage, but IIRC, it was stated to me when I set up the plan that the $10,000 (Round figure, it was just slightly more than that) was the total owed including penalties, etc. For the years in question I was single and earning in the range of 40,000 per year. I earned almost 70 last year and owed 1000, I can't imagine that much more on 3 years of much less income. Thanks for your input.
