Consequences of Failing to File Tax Returns

Failing to file a tax return is a serious matter. The IRS can file a return for you, often without the deductions or tax credits you deserve. That means a bigger tax bill and can lead to other problems:

  • Failure to file penalties and daily interest charges.
  • Losing out on tax refunds if you overpaid.
  • Getting denied for credit because you can't prove your income.
  • IRS liens that prevent you from selling your property
  • IRS levies that empty your bank accounts if you fail to resolve your unpaid taxes

Don't let this happen to you. We are here to help you face these tax issues head-on and find a lasting solution.

How Our Tax Attorneys Provide Relief

Bringing you back into good standing takes two steps. First, we prepare and file your old tax returns. Then, we address any tax debt. Our skilled tax attorneys guide you through every part of the process.

Tax Return Preparation

We work with you or your tax professional to reconstruct records for income and expenses. That means tracking down W-2s, 1099s for miscellaneous income, unemployment records, and other relevant documents. We make sure your returns account for every legal deduction to determine the lowest possible tax liability.

Resolving the Amount Due

Once your returns are filed, we know the exact amount you owe. If you can’t pay in full, we negotiate with the IRS. Our attorneys can secure manageable installment agreements, seek an offer in compromise to settle for less, or request currently not collectible status if you’re facing hardship.

Penalty Relief

If you have a reasonable cause for not filing, we can ask the IRS to reduce or remove penalties. Also, if it is the first time you failed to file, we may be able to get the IRS to remove the penalty even if you have no reason for filing late.
