The IRS will file substitute returns for you, calculate penalties and interest, and begin collection actions including wage garnishment and bank levies.
Filing voluntarily before IRS contact reduces penalties significantly through the Voluntary Disclosure Program. File your most recent three years first since these determine current compliance status. The IRS has 10 years from assessment to collect, so older debts may expire. Criminal referrals rarely happen unless you owe $100,000+ over six years. Reconstruct missing deductions using bank statements to lower your bill. We handle everything from document reconstruction to penalty abatement negotiations.
Columbus tax attorneys remove penalties for 85% of first-time offenders. The IRS accepts documented hardships like serious illness, family death, or Ohio flooding and tornadoes. They’ll waive penalties from IRS errors or incorrect agent advice. Local attorneys charge flat fees to file Form 843, provide supporting documentation, and appeal denials. Most Franklin County residents qualify if they’ve maintained clean tax records for three years before the penalty year.
You need a crypto tax accountant if your trading volume exceeds $20,000 or you have more than 200 transactions annually, which triggers IRS automated matching systems. Using HIFO (Highest In, First Out) accounting instead of standard FIFO can reduce your taxable gains by 40% on average, especially if you bought crypto at different price points throughout the year.
Liquidity pool token receipts count as taxable property when you receive them, creating tax events even without selling. If you owe more than $50,000 in crypto taxes, file Form 9465 to request monthly payment plans up to 72 months. The IRS offers three payment options: full payment within 120 days, short-term plans under $100,000, or long-term installment agreements with setup fees ranging from $31 to $225 depending on your income level.
