What happens if the IRS finds me before I file?
This is one of the top ten questions we are asked. If the IRS finds you before you file, find a representative that knows their way through and around the system. Most of the time the IRS wants you current to get back into their system. They will immediately check to make sure you are current so the problem is stopped. Next thing that the IRS will do is determine how many back years they want filed.  At the same time, they will secure a current financial statement to determine how fast they can collect the money and find out where your assets are. It is critical you hire a professional to  become involved with this process to help navigate you through the process. There is some financial planning that can be done to limit your damage.
