I have a new client that has not filed a return since 2004. He has correspondence from the IRS asking him to file his 2005 - 2009 tax returns. They sent along income information for each year. The taxpayer also has a "Notice of Deficiency" for tax years 2006, 2007, and 2008. There seems to only be a CP59 for 2009 at this time.
Is there any reason for me to NOT file the 2005 - 2009 returns? I do not know, yet, but there may be a small refund in 2005, or I would think there would be a "Notice of Deficiency" for this return as well....
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
