Life happens—illness, business struggles, or just forgetting. But if you have unfiled tax returns, ignoring them won’t make them go away. The IRS will eventually catch up, and the longer you wait, the worse the penalties get.

The good news? You can fix it. Here’s how to take action today.

What Happens If You Don’t File?

Not filing taxes comes with serious consequences:

• Failure-to-File Penalty – 5% per month (up to 25%) of what you owe.
• Failure-to-Pay Penalty – 0.5% per month (up to 25%) on unpaid taxes.
• Interest Charges – Grows daily, making your balance skyrocket.
• IRS Action – Wage garnishment, bank levies, or even criminal charges in extreme cases.

But don’t panic—if you take action now, you can reduce penalties and avoid major trouble.

3 Simple Steps to Fix Your Unfiled Taxes

1. Gather Your Documents

• Income Forms – W-2s, 1099s, or bank statements.
• Expense Records – Receipts for deductions (especially if self-employed).
• Past Returns – Helps ensure accuracy.

Missing paperwork? The IRS can provide transcripts of your income history.

2. File Your Late Returns

• Download past tax forms from the IRS website.
• File accurately to avoid triggering an audit.
• Send via certified mail to track submission.

Even if you can’t pay what you owe, filing now stops the Failure-to-File Penalty from growing.

3. Handle Any Tax Debt

• Payment Plan – Pay what you owe in installments.
• Offer in Compromise – Settle for less if you qualify.
• Penalty Relief – Reduce penalties if you have a valid reason for not filing.
