I Haven't Filed Taxes in Years

Every year you don't file, the IRS may file a Substitute for Return that almost always overstates what you owe.

The Problem

You have multiple years of unfiled federal tax returns. The IRS may have filed Substitute for Returns giving you zero deductions and the worst possible filing status. The resulting balances are inflated, and penalties are accruing on the inflated amounts.

The Solution

File the missing returns. The IRS typically requires six years of compliance before they negotiate any resolution. Filing your own returns replaces the SFRs and usually reduces the balance dramatically. Once you're compliant, the resolution options open up: payment plan, OIC, CNC, or penalty abatement.

If you have many years unfiled with significant income, consider an attorney. Willful failure to file is technically criminal, and privilege protects your communications during the compliance process. Free consultation.
