Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns
“I'm behind on multiple years of tax returns, how much trouble am I in?”
Being behind on multiple years of tax returns can create different levels of exposure depending on whether balances are owed, whether refunds are involved, and whether the returns were simply not filed or also reported income inconsistently. In many cases, the practical concerns include growing penalties and interest, loss of access to refunds, and added attention from IRS or state notices. The overall picture often depends on how many years are missing, what kind of income was involved, and whether records are still available to reconstruct the filings. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
