Unfiled Tax Returns

The stress-free way to get back on track  and up to date with your taxes

The Truth About Unfiled Tax Returns

If you skipped a year or more of filing your taxes you’re not alone. There are many reasons people don’t file their tax returns, and in most cases, it’s because they are unable to pay their taxes. However, the IRS has more sympathy for you if you file and can’t pay versus not filing at all. The best thing to do is file, get current, and find a tax relief program that you qualify for. The Tax Hardship Center has helped thousands of taxpayers file their unfiled tax returns and get back on track.

How we work?

What Are the Consequences for Not Filing Tax Returns?

Tax Penalties

You will be assessed a late filing penalty. You will also face a late payment penalty every month. Interest will also accrue on any unpaid taxes.

Refund Delay

If you have unfiled tax returns from previous years, but file this year, the IRS may delay paying your refund.

Reduced Refund

The IRS may decide to file a substitute return on your behalf reducing or eliminating your refund.

Refund Forfeiture

You have three years to file your late tax returns. If you miss that window, you’ll forfeit any refund you are due.

Criminal Charges

Refusing to file a tax return is considered a crime. You can face up to a year in prison for each year you refuse to file your tax return (up to 5 years).

How to Catch Up on Unfiled Tax Returns

If you want to stop worrying about unfiled tax returns and the consequences, getting caught up is easy with the Tax Hardship Center. We’ll look at your circumstances and help you choose the best path forward. There are a number of different avenues to explore including the following. 

Extension Request

If you’re unable to file this year’s taxes on time, you can request a filing extension request. This will give you more time to submit your return. However, any due taxes will need to be submitted by the original tax deadline. If you’re unable to pay in full you can get an IRS payment plan.

SFR Reconsideration for Unfiled Tax Returns

SFR Reconsideration

If the IRS files a substitute for return (SFR) due to an unfiled tax return, you can file a late return to replace it. This is called an SFR reconsideration. This can be a good choice if you don’t agree with the adjustments the IRS made on your SFR. 

Penalty Relief

In some cases you may be eligible to get your filing and payment penalties waived through a first-time abatement request or through relief due to reasonable cause. This can be available if you’ve experienced unforeseen circumstances that prevented you from filing on time.

IRS Smaller payments settlement

Offer in Compromise

If you’re unable to make any payments on your tax debt, the IRS may settle for a smaller amount through an offer in compromise. You’ll need to prove that you are in financial hardship and unable to make the requested payments. This can be an effective way to get caught up and back on track with the IRS.
