Unfiled (Overdue) Past-Year Tax Returns

What happens if you don’t file your own tax returns? You probably won’t hear from IRS if they think you would have gotten a refund. However, IRS sometimes prepares their own substitute version (SFR) of your tax return, based on “worst case” assumptions. It is up to you to file your own “accurate” tax return. The 10-year statutory collection period does not begin until you file your own tax return. Make sure you get your Previous Tax Returns Information before hand.
Folks usually fail to file tax returns because they’ve been through a rough patch in their life. But failing to file tax returns creates even more grief, like IRS wage garnishments, liens and levies, credit and banking problems, not to mention unnerving IRS letters. It’s difficult to function with such IRS headaches.
Sooner or later, for various reasons and motivations, folks realize they need to file their tax returns, and get IRS compliant. It’s common and you’re not alone. Don’t be embarrassed. Even if you no longer have your tax records I can prepare your previous year’s unfiled tax returns based on wage and income transcripts obtained from IRS.
