Steps to File – Unfiled Tax Returns

Obama and McCain Tax Plans

If you have not filed a tax return for all applicable years you need to do so at once. The IRS is very strict about unfiled taxes, and you do not want to cross them and find yourself in trouble. Believe it or not, if you have taxes that were not file you are not in trouble just yet. But if you continue to put this off you may find yourself in a bad position sooner rather than later. When that happens you will look back and wonder why you didn’t take care of your old taxes when you had the chance to do so.

The first thing you need to know about unfiled taxes is that getting organized is important. You know that you have unfiled taxes, but need more information than this. What years did you not file a tax return? Was it only one year? Was it several years? This is important information to know because the IRS requires that you file a separate return for each year. If you think you are going to lump together all of your unfiled taxes you are wrong. This may sound like the easy thing to do, but unfortunately the IRS will not agree to it.

2. Consult a tax professional- A professional tax consultant would be the best person to help you deal with unfiled taxes, as it involves many complexities.

3. Read the preparation process thoroughly- Until you file your returns you wouldn’t know if you owe the IRS money or will be receiving refund. It is quite obvious that your refund may not last long if you have accumulated penalties and interest over the past years or owe additional taxes. This is where your tax consultant plays a vital role in suggesting you the best option.

4. Get rid of your debts- If you owe the IRS money, pay it right away. In case, it is not possible for you to pay in lump sum, you could opt for an installment plan financed by the IRS or any other source of funding like a credit card or bank loan.

The IRS has come a long way when it comes to the digital age. That being said, the agency is very old school when it comes to dealing with taxpayer issues. By this, I mean that the agency never sends notices of action to taxpayers by email. Everything is sent by snail mail with most of the notices automatically being kicked out by a computer. If you ever get an email from the IRS, you can usually assume it is a fake.

If you have any doubts as to its legitimacy, you can just pick up the phone and call the IRS to ask if you’ve been sent anything.

The new IRS email scam plays on the fear taxpayers have of the agency. Don’t be a sucker. Ignore it and don’t reward such conduct
