I have a question for you! Who has not filed their taxes in a few years?

If you are thinking “ME!”, keep reading, because here are some reasons to file:

• If you need a bank loan, the bank will want to see previous year’s tax returns.
• If you have a refund due, you only have so much time to claim it on your tax return.
• You face steep penalties for not filing, up to 25% of what is owed!!
• It causes unwanted stress in your life.
• The IRS is using more technology than ever to track down taxpayers who have not filed taxes.

What do I do? Well, call me and I can file the unfiled tax returns. Some of the things we will look at are how many years need to be filed, filing married or separately, do state returns need to be filed and what happens after we file the returns.

Upcoming Important Due Dates:

June 15th

• Second quarter estimated tax payment due.

Sept 15th

• Partnerships and S-Corps that were put on extension are now due.
• Third quarter estimated tax payment is due.

Oct 1st

• Estates/trusts that filed an extension are due.

Oct 15th

• Individual tax returns (Form 1040) are due for taxpayers who filed an extension.

Hi Everyone,

Here is my first blog post with many more to come.

Did you know that there are more than 10 million taxpayers who have not filed their previous year’s tax returns in over a year?! That is right, some taxpayers have not filed their 2019 tax returns and previous years before that. We in the tax industry call them “non-filers”. The IRS is now using Artificial intelligence (AI) to find these “non-filers” and have them file the missing returns from prior years.

Why would you care about filing on time when you have a refund? Because you have the later of 3 years from the due date of the tax return to file and get your refund or you have 2 years from the date the tax was paid. If you wait past these dates, you lose your refund to the IRS.

If you have not filed in a few years, I can help you file all the past year tax returns and if you don’t have all your original tax documentation, I have ways to get copies of the tax forms.
