Are you worried about the IRS coming after you for your unfiled tax returns? Many companies use scare tactics to lure you into using them to file your unfiled tax returns. However, the fact is that in 99.2% of cases, the IRS doesn’t actually follow through with prosecution. The most important thing is having these returns prepared and filed correctly. Tax Litigation Associates’ team includes tax attorneys that put together your returns correctly by obtaining them from the IRS to see exactly what information they have concerning your income.

The IRS punishes celebrities like Wesley Snipes simply to scare the average taxpayer into filing and paying their tax returns on a yearly basis.

The IRS has several ways to figure out which taxpayers have not filed their taxes. They now team up with a number of states to combat tax avoidance. The IRS checks state records to see if you did not file your federal returns.

With the superior technology these days, the IRS has updated their computer systems. On a daily basis, these systems verify which individuals have returns that are missing for certain years. This is the reason why they are able to catch more people that have not filed taxes in several years. Everyone has a reason as to why they were unable to file their taxes. Many people state that they didn’t know they had to file, they forgot to file, they thought somebody else filed for them or they filed for an extension. These reasons will not matter to the IRS. Their job is solely to get you to file your taxes so they may assess high penalties and interest to collect from you.

The only way the IRS can assess taxes against you is if you file your own tax returns or if the IRS files a substitute return on your behalf. The IRS will generally file a substitute return for you if they have a record that you earned income, but there has been no return filed within two years. You certainly don’t want the IRS to file a return on your behalf. The IRS will include all of your income, but will purposely fail to include all of your deductions, which results in owing more money than you actually need to pay. If the IRS has filed substitute returns for you, the solution is to simply to have the Tax Litigation Associates prepare correct returns for you to bring your debt to a lower amount.

When the IRS catches up with you, they will send you an automated letter asking you to file the years that haven’t been done yet.

If you have received an automated letter, we highly suggest that you have Tax Litigation Associates prepare these unfiled taxes before your file is sent to a Revenue Officer.
