As former IRS agents, managers and tax instructors we know the exact way to get you back into the system safely without worry or anxiety.
Stop the worry today.
Being a former IRS agent I found that once taxpayers did not file multiple back tax returns fear set in and they would just stop filing.
However, that is all a myth!
The truth is, IRS is just happy to have your back tax returns filed and most of the time they could care less whether they received one or 20 back tax returns.
IRS is just happy to have you back in the system. Believe it or not many of these taxpayers who haven’t filed multiple back tax returns have lost large amounts of tax refunds unless they were self-employed for all the years.
IRS knows that fear and anxiety cause taxpayers not to file back tax returns.
Once a taxpayer does not file the first tax return as a general rule the snowball effect  continues. Taxpayers stay in that mode and every time April 15 comes along they start to shutter but then that April 15 passes and they pause a sigh of relief.
At some point you MUST decide to File Back Multiple Tax Returns
At some point in time there is a triggering mechanism that causes that taxpayer to realize they have to file their back tax returns.
Sometimes they need him to qualify for a mortgage or loan or maybe guilt starts eating away.
For  some fear the element of going to jail and the possibility of a large criminal investigation drives taxpayers to file.
Whatever the reason at some point you must decide to file back  multiple tax returns.
 
Advice from  a Former IRS Agent
 
As a former IRS agent and teaching instructor I can tell you have no fear whatsoever to file your back tax returns. After they are prepared you can send them in all at one time.
Believe it or not, the IRS will not pull the returns for audit unless you way are out of line for the normal tax filing norms.
Of all the back tax returns at our firm has filed I can only remember in one case in which  a taxpayer was ever audited and that’s after 38 years private and public practice.
So do not be afraid to file back income tax returns.
If you are going to owe money as a results of filing Multiple Back Tax Returns
If you owe money as a result of filing back multiple tax returns IRS will simply take a financial statement and determine the place you in one of three categories.
Your current financial statement will either play shoe into a current tax hardship, have you eligible for an installment monthly payment plan or the filing of an offer in compromise to settle your tax debt as a result of the money you owe on your back tax returns
How many back years worth of tax return should I file.
That is a question I am asked quite frequently by taxpayers who have not filed for the last 6 to 20 years and some have never filed.
As a general rule I tell taxpayers to file the last six tax returns.
Once those tax returns are processed on the system the Internal Revenue Service will let you know whether they want back tax returns are not. For the general taxpayer, filing 6 back tax returns will will satisfy the thirst of the Internal Revenue Service
However if there are large dollars involved and possible criminal intent or criminal fraud it is always best to seek the advice of a tax attorney, CPA or former IRS agent to help you make decisions on the best course of action to take.
If this is going to be a criminal case you should only seek a qualified tax attorney for help.
So if you have to file back tax returns don’t be afraid just go for it.
