I haven’t filed in a long time and nothing has happened. Will the IRS eventually catch up with me?
Generally it’s getting easier than ever for the IRS to find out who has and has not filed their taxes. In fact, the IRS works with many states, and they check state records to see if you have filed your taxes or not. Modern technology has allowed the IRS to update their systems to check for filing requirement.
I am going to file eventually, but I’m too busy right now. How long can I wait to file?
A lot of tax attorneys in San Jose utilize high pressure sales techniques and scare tactics to try and convince you that you need their services. While you won’t find those unscrupulous techniques from our San Jose tax lawyers, we do recommend that you seek our help for your unfiled taxes as soon as possible. If the IRS has record that you earned income, but did not file a return, they will likely file a substitute tax return on your behalf. As you can imagine, the return they file will not include any of your deductions and will ultimately result in a much higher tax bill than you would be responsible for if Tax Helpers were to file a proper return for you.
The government has already filed a return on my behalf. What can I do?
If the government already has filed a return on your behalf; don’t worry. We can help you with that too! Tax Helpers will prepare your taxes properly and make sure that the return that was filed by the government on your behalf is reconsidered. This process may lower the amount you owe.
