Delinquent Tax Returns

Get Back on Track With the IRS

Unfiled tax returns are one of the most common reasons the IRS takes aggressive action. If you’ve fallen behind on filing, you’re not alone — and the sooner you get compliant, the more options you’ll have to resolve your tax debt. We’ll help you get caught up quickly, accurately, and with as little stress as possible.

Why You Should File Now

  • Avoid harsher penalties – The failure-to-file penalty can be 10x worse than late payment penalties.

  • Prevent enforced collections – The IRS may file a “substitute for return” (SFR) on your behalf, often overstating what you owe.

  • Protect refunds – If you’re owed a refund, you’ll lose it if you don’t file within 3 years.

  • Open the door to relief – Programs like Offer in Compromise or Installment Agreements require you to be compliant on all filings.

How We Help

When you come to us, we’ll:

  1. Secure your IRS transcripts to determine which years are unfiled.

  2. Reconstruct your income and deductions using IRS data, employer records, and bank info.

  3. Prepare and file multiple years at once to bring you into compliance.

  4. Negotiate with the IRS on balances due once you’re current.

  5. Create a plan to stay on top of future filings so this doesn’t happen again.

  • It’s rare. Criminal prosecution is usually reserved for willful tax evasion. However, the IRS can impose steep civil penalties and collections until you file.

  • Not always. The IRS generally requires the last 6 years to be filed to be considered compliant, though older years may still be pursued depending on the case.

  • We can pull IRS wage and income transcripts, then reconstruct your returns using available data.
