Unfiled tax returns create a constant state of anxiety. The IRS doesn't forget, and neither does the Michigan Department of Treasury. Perhaps you couldn't pay, or life derailed your filing plans. We’ve seen it all before, and our Troy tax attorneys are here to help you get back into compliance.
The IRS can file a substitute return without the deductions or tax credits you deserve, resulting an an overstated balance due. Past due tax returns also cause other problems:
Our tax attorneys are here to help you face these tax issues head-on.
Bringing you back into good standing requires two critical steps. First, we work with your tax professionals to prepare and file your old tax returns. Then, we address any resulting tax debt. Our experienced tax attorneys guide you through every aspect of this process.
Our team can help you reconstruct records for income and expenses. This includes tracking down W-2s, 1099s for miscellaneous income, unemployment records, dividends, and other relevant documents. We ensure your returns account for every legal deduction to determine the lowest possible tax liability.
Once your returns are filed and any penalties are assessed, we will know exactly what you owe. If full payment isn't possible, we'll negotiate with the IRS. We can help you apply for a payment plan, apply for an offers in compromise, or request currently not collectible status if paying would force you into financial hardship.
If you have reasonable cause for not filing, we request that the Internal Revenue Service abate (remove) the penalties. We've done this many times before, and know how to build a penalty abatement request that gives you the best chance of success.
The cost of professional help typically is much less than the dollars saved through proper filing and negotiation. Many clients find they owe substantially less than they feared.
