What Happens If You Have Unfiled Tax Returns?

We get it. Filing tax returns isn’t at the top of anyone’s bucket list. Even celebrities try to get away with not paying their taxes. The problem is that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will eventually catch on.  When they do, there can be some costly consequences, such as:

There are many reasons why people do not file their tax returns. In most cases, it’s because they are unable to pay their taxes. The IRS, however, is much more lenient with those who owe taxes versus those who fail to file. If you have unfiled tax returns, contact Tax Defense Network today. We can help you file past returns and find affordable solutions for dealing with your tax debt.

How to Fix Your Unfiled Tax Returns

If you have unfiled tax returns from previous years. or believe that you will not be able to meet the tax filing deadline this year, the good news is that you still have options.

• Filing Extension Request

  If you won’t be able to file this year’s taxes on time, you may request a filing extension. Although this gives you more time to submit your return, any taxes due will still need to be paid by the original tax deadline. Applying for an IRS payment plan can help, if you are unable to pay in full.

• SFR Reconsideration

  When the IRS files a substitute for return (SFR) due to an unfiled tax return, you can file a late return to replace it. This is called SFR reconsideration.

• Penalty Relief

  You may be eligible to have your filing and payment penalties waived through a first-time penalty abatement request. Another option is relief due to reasonable cause. This typically is available if you’ve experienced unforeseen circumstances that prevented you from filing on time. If approved, the penalties and fees will be waived.

• Payment Plans

  You may be able to request a payment extension or obtain an installment agreement that allows you to pay your back taxes over time.

• Offer in Compromise

  If you are unable to make any payments on your tax debt, the IRS may settle for a smaller amount through an Offer in Compromise.

If any of this seems confusing, don’t stress. You don’t have to face the IRS alone. The tax professionals at Tax Defense Network can help you with submitting and/or correcting your unfiled tax returns. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Common Questions About Unfiled Taxes

Q: How far back does the IRS go for unfiled tax returns?

The statute of limitations on unfiled tax returns is six years. That means that the IRS can’t bring criminal charges against you once six years have passed since the date your previous taxes were due. The IRS, however, can continue to demand the payment of taxes owed on non-filed returns after those six years.

Q: How many years back can I request a refund?

You can only recover tax refunds for the past three years. Any tax refund older than three years will not be refunded to you or used to credit your tax obligation. Don’t lose money that belongs to you. File your past due returns ASAP.

Q: Can I file last year’s taxes with this year’s return?

Ideally, you should file last year’s taxes as soon as possible, instead of waiting until you file this year’s taxes. You’ll need to file your back tax returns on the original forms for the tax year you’re filing, so you won’t be able to use the same tax forms for last year as the ones you’re using this year. If you need help figuring out how to file taxes late, our tax professionals are always available to help you sort it out.

Q: Who can help with unfiled taxes?

There are many different companies and services that say they offer unfiled taxes help. We may be a little biased, but our tax professionals are skilled and experienced in tax preparation and dealing with unfiled taxes. They’ll work to file any late taxes on your behalf, and help you figure out the best course of action moving forward.
