What happens if you do not file a back tax return
It’s important to understand the ramifications of not filing a past due return and the steps that the IRS will take.
Taxpayers who don’t file a past due return or contact the IRS are subject to the following:
1. Penalties and Interest will be assessed and will increase the amount of tax due,
2. The IRS will file a substitute return for you. But this return is based only on information the IRS has from other sources allowing no exemptions or deductions or business expenses,
3. You lose Social Security credits.
Once the tax is assessed, the IRS will start the collection process, which can include placing a levy on wages or bank accounts or filing a federal tax lien against your property.
Filing Back Taxes Help – If IRS has already filed for you. 6020B
Even if the IRS has already filed a substitute return, it still makes sense for you to file your own return to make sure you take advantage of all the exemptions, credits, and deductions you are allowed. The IRS will generally adjust your account to reflect the correct figures.
IRS 6020 B of Back Taxes Spells Trouble
IRS files thousands of back tax returns each year under the IRC provision of 6020B. As former IRS agents we filed back taxes for taxpayers when we were employed by the IRS. This process of filing by the IRS is called SRF or Substitute Tax Return process, and we understand exactly how it works.
The process of SRF works like this: IRS conducts matching programs each and every year on their CADE 2 system, which matches all W-2’s and 1099’s.
If the computer finds no tax return posted against the W-2’s or 1099’s the IRS will prepare a SRF tax returns. This is not what you want to happen, so if you can correct the situation, you should.
IRS will not do you a favor filing your SRF return for back taxes. IRS will only give you the standard deductions, and nothing more.
From there the IRS will send out 2-3 notices, which, if you don’t respond, they’ll then send Notices of Federal Tax Levy, both Bank levy’s and Wage garnishment levy’s.
You must keep up with IRS’s bills and notices sent to you. You should know many times taxpayers have moved never got notices and they went to their bank or employer only to find out their bank account and wages have been garnished.
They will continue to levy until they get your attention. After that, the IRS will follow that up with a Filing of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien.
Do not be left in the hands of IRS to file your back tax returns. Get Filing Back Taxes Help.
If the IRS filed your tax returns thru SRF, call us today to immediately correct the situation. If the IRS filed your tax return, we can file correct returns and correct the misstated tax liability.
When the IRS prepares your tax return, the general rule of thumb is that overstatement of tax is least 5 times of the total tax. In some cases, taxpayers never even owed the tax.
We can file correct tax returns to lower and adjust the overstated tax and work out a tax settlement that you can live with. This process is called an audit reconsideration.

INFORMATION ABOUT SALES TAX AUDITS – FLORIDA
Why were you selected for a state of Florida sales tax audit
The state of Florida audits taxpayers and businesses to:
- Enforce Florida tax laws uniformly across the state,
- Deter tax evasion both on a criminal and civil situations,
- Promote voluntary compliance across the state of Florida,
- Educate taxpayers and businesses regarding their sales tax responsibilities.
While the State of Florida accepts most Sales and Use tax returns as filed they audit some returns to verify accuracy and evaluate compliance.
Sales Tax Audits do not always result in the taxpayer owing additional tax, penalty or interest.
Many times the State auditor may adjust a credit carryover or correct distribution without assessing additional tax. The auditor may even determine that a refund is due.
How Are Taxpayers Selected for State of Florida Sales and Use Audit?
The methods for selecting a business or individual to audit vary from tax to tax.
Here are some examples of sources we use to identify a potential audit candidate:
- Internal Revenue Service information.
- Information sharing programs with other states and state agencies.
- Computer-based random selection.
- Analysis of Florida tax return information.
- Business publications, periodicals, journals, and directories.
The state of Florida always have hidden agendas regarding new compliance program techniques that they are running to deter taxpayers from defrauding the state of Florida.
The state of Florida uses criminal prosecution as a deterrent for many taxpayers and businesses to pay their tax in full. It is very common to find a taxpayer or business who have run up multiple years of back taxes to find themselves under a criminal investigation.
If you’re under a criminal investigation you can speak directly to our sales tax attorney who can keep all in information under attorney-client privilege.
What Types of Records Will I Need to Provide during the Audit?
When the State of Florida notifies you of our intent to audit, the State will also tell you what records you will need to provide.
The types of records may include, but are not limited to:
- General ledgers and journals
- Cash receipt and disbursement journals
- Purchase and sales journals
- Sales tax exemption or resale certificates
- Other documentation to verify amounts entered on tax returns. Remember that each tax auditor is different and each state tax auditor looks at each case differently to their eyes.
Record-keeping requirements for the State of Florida
You must keep your records for three years since an audit can extend back that far.
The Department of revenue may audit for periods longer than three years if you did not file, or filed a substantially incorrect return or payment.
What Are My Taxpayers Rights During an State Tax Audit?
The Florida Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights provides protection for taxpayers’ privacy and assets during their interactions with Revenue employees.
Your rights include:
- The right to fair treatment.
- The right to get available information and prompt, accurate responses to your questions.
- The right to have the Department begin and complete its audit in a timely manner after we notify you of our intent to audit.
- The right to get simple, nontechnical statements which explain the reason for audit selection and the procedures, remedies, and rights available during audit, appeals, and collection proceedings.
Communicating and Meeting Deadlines
Communication is vitally important. Should you miss a date, a time, or a meeting, the state usually will follow up with enforcement procedures.
Throughout the audit process, communication is vital.
After the auditor sends you a Notice of Intent to Audit Books and Records, the auditor will work with you to set a date to begin the audit.
The auditor will give you deadlines for providing information or documentation. If you need additional time to prepare, or need to request a delay for other reasons, contact the auditor.
The auditor will make every effort to accommodate your requests.
If you fail to respond or provide the requested information, we may issue an assessment and file a warrant based on the best available information.
Remember there are number two audits alike. Each sales tax audit is shaped by the tax return and the tax auditor.
As Former Government Agents
As former IRS agents and tax auditors the best advice that we can give you is never to lie to any federal or state tax agent and is always in your best interest to hire a professional firm to get the best results.
There is a huge difference in the results when taxpayers attempt to settle these cases versus the tax professionals.
