Sometimes life just gets in the way. You feel too busy or have experienced a divorce, illness, job loss, or death in your family that sidetracked you from filing your tax return on time<\/a>. Or you could just be overwhelmed with the whole process of filing your taxes. Perhaps you don\u2019t have the money to pay your taxes<\/a> and thought you should wait to file (this is NOT a good idea).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You may also have a special situation with your spouse if they promised to file and didn\u2019t or they don\u2019t file correctly or they don\u2019t pay. In some cases, you can claim that you were the \u201cinnocent spouse\u201d and get your account corrected.<\/p>

Whatever your situation, we are here for you when you are ready to get caught up, and the sooner, the better. We can help you relieve that huge psychological burden so you feel lighter and free from all that stress.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Failure to File Your Tax Return(s)<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The IRS is very aggressive about coming after non-filers and non-payers. So even if you don\u2019t owe that much, you\u2019ll want to file right away to stop the penalties and interest from adding up.<\/p>

IRS debt can add up fast. There\u2019s a failure to file penalty, interest on the taxes that are late, and the taxes themselves. The failure to file penalty can be as much as 25 percent, so that\u2019s a debt you don\u2019t want to have pile up on you.<\/p>

The most important thing about filing back taxes is to get them filed as soon as possible whether you can pay them or not. Filing back tax returns will stop the failure to file penalty and is the first step on the road back to compliance for you.<\/p>

It\u2019s never a good idea to have the IRS estimate and complete your return for you. You are better off hiring a tax professional to get you caught up and to represent your case before the IRS to work out a way to pay your back taxes that won\u2019t leave you bankrupt or suffering financially.<\/p>

We know there are many national chains out there that would like to help you with your tax problems, but all of the clients we have worked with say they prefer to hire a local tax professional in their own neighborhood.<\/p>
