FAQs
What should I do if I haven't filed taxes for several years?
Start by determining which returns are required and gathering the information needed to prepare accurate returns. Becoming compliant is often necessary before pursuing certain IRS resolution programs.
Will I go to jail for not filing my taxes?
Most delinquent-filing situations are handled through the civil tax system, but willful tax violations can have more serious consequences. Taxpayers concerned about significant noncompliance should obtain appropriate professional advice.
What is an IRS Substitute for Return?
When a taxpayer fails to file, the IRS may prepare a return based on information available to the agency. That assessment may not reflect deductions, credits, filing positions, or other information that might appear on a properly prepared return.
Can I file a return after the IRS filed one for me?
Depending on the circumstances, a taxpayer may be able to submit an original delinquent return for IRS consideration.
