DOJ SLIP Background Check

Anyone know anything about it? The only thing I am worried is that I have never files income taxes. Do you think that will be a problem? I went to LS straight from UG.

Oh ok I think i am ok then.Anonymous User wrote:When I got my offer they told me to expect contact in November. It's a name/fingerprint check with the FBI and a review of some questionnaire they ask you, as well as a drug test. They said the most common reasons why offers were revoked (though they said that the actual revocation of offers was unfortunate and rare) are drug tests failures, failure to comply with income tax obligations, and serious credit problems.
They also have a hotline you can call anonymously to discuss any potential problems you are worried about.
As far as the tax thing, it's the failure to comply with obligations, not just failure to pay income taxes. If you never worked full time and were always claimed as a dependent (which is likely if you went straight through) I think you will be fine.
