I have chosen to file with the feds before they come knocking on the door. The thing is, I don't even recall which years I've filed and which I didn't. I hesitate to call them up and throw myself at their mercy, but I'm leaning toward that. I would guess in total I owe under
2000.00 in back taxes. Any suggestions on the first step in finding out what years I need to file for? Is there a statute of limitations? I just filed this years 1040 btw. Thanks. Schmenge
You can walk-in to a local office or call (800) 829-8815 to get the information reported to the IRS on you. Or you can complete Form 4506 to order the information. It will cost nothing.
The first thing that you should do is to get a good tax professional in your area and give them a Power of Attorney to talk to the IRS and the IRS can talk to the professional. T hen the tax pro can find out what has been filed and what has not been filed. The tax pro will probably save you more money than they cost. They will know where to go from there.
