IRS Delinquent Tax Filings

Unfiled tax returns can lead to serious problems with the IRS and California tax authorities. When returns remain unfiled, the government may estimate your income, assess taxes without considering all available deductions, withhold refunds, or begin collection activity.

Golden State Tax Relief helps individuals and businesses in Los Angeles address delinquent tax filings and return to compliance.

What Happens When Tax Returns Are Not Filed?

The IRS may prepare a Substitute for Return using income reported by employers, banks, and other third parties. These returns may not include deductions, credits, business expenses, or filing elections that could reduce the amount owed.

Unfiled returns may also result in:

• Failure-to-file penalties
• Additional interest
• Delayed refunds
• IRS collection notices
• Wage garnishments
• Bank levies
• Tax liens
• Difficulty qualifying for payment plans

In serious cases, continued failure to file may create additional legal concerns.

Filing Past-Due Tax Returns

Before many tax resolution options become available, taxpayers must first file all required returns. Golden State Tax Relief can help identify missing years, gather available income records, prepare accurate returns, and communicate with the appropriate tax agencies.

Our process may include:

• Requesting wage and income transcripts
• Identifying missing tax years
• Reconstructing income and expenses
• Filing federal and state returns
• Reviewing Substitute for Return assessments
• Calculating the updated balance
• Exploring tax relief options
