Millions upon millions of tax returns do not get filed every year by taxpayers for various reasons. So you are not alone.
 
As a general rule, once a taxpayer does not file for one year it starts a snowball effect.
Fear usually sets in and taxpayers just stop filing their tax returns. At some point taxpayers know they will be contacted by the Internal Revenue Service but they continue to play the IRS  lottery in hopes their numbers will be not called.
However sooner or later IRS will catch up to you or your Social Security number.
 
The best advice I can give taxpayers is to get their head out of the sand and to take an assertive position and rectify the problem well before the IRS contacts you.
 
If you take the assertive position and contact a tax professional do the proper planning your case can go very smoothly. If you wait to the last minute to go ahead to rectify this, the Internal Revenue Service will have the upper hand. So remember planning is key.
 

IRS can file for you, this is bad news

 
Many taxpayers do not know that IRS can actually file their tax return for them under 6020 of the Internal Revenue Code.
If that happens, the taxpayer will wind up with a huge tax bill because IRS will not allow anything but the standard exemption. It is critical that taxpayers open all IRS mail and find out what stage there case is in.
 

IRS can file your tax return under 6020 IRC

 
a) Preparation of return by Secretary
If any person shall fail to make a return required by this title or by regulations prescribed thereunder, but shall consent to disclose all information necessary for the preparation thereof, then, and in that case, the Secretary may prepare such return, which, being signed by such person, may be received by the Secretary as the return of such person.
(b) Execution of return by Secretary
(1) Authority of Secretary to execute return
If any person fails to make any return required by any internal revenue law or regulation made thereunder at the time prescribed therefor, or makes, willfully or otherwise, a false or fraudulent return, the Secretary shall make such return from his own knowledge and from such information as he can obtain through testimony or otherwise.
(2) Status of returns
Any return so made and subscribed by the Secretary shall be prima facie good and sufficient for all legal purposes.
 

IRS can Levy or Garnish

 
After the Internal Revenue Service makes an assessment,  IRS bills or notices go out. They will be followed up by an IRS  bank tax levy or IRS garnishment levy and then usually followed up with the filing of the federal tax lien. This usually happens  over a 3 to 4 months after you file your tax returns.
 

How to get back in the system safely

 
If you have forgot to file your back tax returns and you want to get back in the system safely the process is very simple.
File all your back returns all at one time.
IRS keeps a copy of all your income sources for the last seven years.
These are stored on the CADE2  computer. IRS has a copy of all W-2’s , 1099s or any third party reports of income that were filed  by these third parties. A taxpayer can simply request their income report from the Internal Revenue Service and use that as a base to start the preparation of filing their back tax returns that they forgot to file.
Believe it or not many taxpayers actually have refunds that the IRS will issue if they file their back tax returns. It important to know there is a three-year statute of limitations on receiving money back from the Internal Revenue Service.
If you have tax refunds coming on your back tax returns ,you have to do nothing but wait for your refund checks. If you are going to owe back taxes the IRS will send out a series of three or four notices, each one stepping up the tone in the attitude of the letter.
Once you receive the final notice of intent to levy or seizure you should immediately contact the IRS but before that you should have a definitive plan of action that you are ready to roll into.
 

If you will owe money to the IRS on Back Tax Returns

 
If you forgot the file back tax returns and will owe money to the IRS,  the IRS  has three or four different programs that can help you get back in the system and not be financially strapped.
IRS will ask for a financial statement, a 433-F to help them make that determination. You can find that form on our website.
A taxpayer must submit this financial statement along with all documentation including bank statements and pay stubs to an IRS agent either at the service center or local office. Based on your financial statement the Internal Revenue Service will determine whether you are currently noncollectable and put you went to an economic tax hardship, or ask for a monthly installment payment or suggested the filing of a offer in compromise.
 

A summary

 
So if you want to get back in the system safely and you forgot the file back tax returns simply contact the Internal Revenue Service and asked them for your income transcript to prepare your back returns. They will give you a date when all tax returns are due and if you  owe taxes just to give IRS your personal financial statement and work out a solution to resolve your matter.
As a former IRS agent I will tell you is always the best to use a professional tax firm to help you negotiate any IRS issue or problem you are having with. Even though many taxpayers attempt to do this on their own they will never get the same results as a professional tax firm.
