It's serious — but it's fixable.
Failing to file carries real consequences, including penalties for failure to file and, in extreme cases, potential jail time — the IRS has pursued prosecution for as much as one year for each year not filed. The good news is that most non-filers can get current without it ever reaching that point.
We handle the entire process on your behalf: reconstructing missing income records where documents have been lost, preparing and submitting every past-due return, and representing you directly with the IRS throughout the tax preparation and collection process.
What getting current looks like
- Reconstructing missing W-2s, 1099s and other income records
- Preparing and filing all outstanding returns
- Negotiating directly with the IRS on your behalf
- Arranging an offer in compromise or installment agreement if a balance is owed
You may still be owed a refund
Even after several years of non-filing, you may still be entitled to a refund if you don't owe tax — or we may be able to minimize what you owe if you do. The only way to know for certain is to get the returns filed.
The longer a return goes unfiled, the more your options narrow.
