Back Taxes & Unfiled Returns
“If I haven't filed my taxes for 2 years, what kind of problem am I looking at?”
When two years of returns are missing, the issue often depends on whether there was tax due, withholding already in place, or refunds that were never claimed. In many cases, the concern is not just unpaid tax, but also added penalties, interest, and notices from the IRS or a state revenue agency. The picture can change based on income sources, whether there was self-employment income, and whether any estimated payments were made. Missing returns can also affect things like refunds, loans, and records needed for future filings. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
