The IRS rarely prosecutes taxpayers who voluntarily file late returns before the agency contacts them. Filing your missing returns immediately stops IRS collection enforcement actions like bank levies and wage garnishments while the agency processes your paperwork.
Request your wage and income transcripts from the IRS to reconstruct missing tax years accurately. Check if any unfiled years qualify for refunds before the three-year deadline expires. Our tax resolution specialists help clients file multiple years of returns, negotiate payment plans, and resolve collection issues with the IRS.
Yes, a tax attorney can lower IRS penalty fees by filing for relief programs that the IRS reviews and decides on within 30 to 60 days. This process can remove late filing or late payment penalties and in some cases reduce interest that was added to your balance.
Penalty relief can also be part of an Offer in Compromise settlement, where the IRS accepts less than the full amount owed. Claims must be filed within the three-year statute to be valid. Our attorneys prepare and submit these requests, track IRS responses, and build strategies that give you the best chance for approval.
