FILING IRS BACK TAX RETURNS

It's never too late to file old tax returns. Indeed, filing is absolutely necessary to any attempt at making a tax debt settlement with the IRS. That is, the IRS will not accept any request for tax resolution unless they have all the taxpayer's previous returns on file.  If, for instance, a taxpayer wants to submit an Offer in Compromise or Penalty Abatement Request but missed a past filing or two, he or she must first send those missing returns in to the IRS before the settlement will even be considered.

The procedure for filing past due IRS tax returns is actually rather straightforward.  The taxpayer simply needs to obtain the proper forms (e.g. - Form 1040, Form 1120, etc.) for each year that is missing, and fill them out using the relevant information for those years.  In fact, the greatest obstacle to filing old tax returns is just getting beyond that strategy of avoidance and "taking care of business."

It should be noted that filing past tax returns DOES NOT mean that the taxpayer must send payment for the associated liability. After all, the point of making a settlement is so you don't have to pay the full amount. Instead, catching up with old filings is a matter of proper Compliance, and showing the IRS that the taxpayer in arrears is serious about getting the matter resolved. It also provides for a more accurate assessment of the liability.
