@sjrcpa I do believe the person and I have seen others struggle to get their win / loss. I believe them because I see the pattern for tax year 2022 and 2023. The person one can tell is struggling financially. Little to no income around $20,000. Nominal SS.  Living in a trailer park (not all are bad I know) and I think they just so happen to hit big that year (online) and claims they spent it all again online. 

I also don't want someone to have to pay $30,000 that they don't truthfully owe. 

If trigger flag, would I get in trouble for amending it in anyway?
