The IRS rarely arrests people for unfiled returns unless you willfully evaded taxes or committed fraud, which requires proof of intentional criminal behavior. Most cases remain civil matters with financial penalties rather than criminal charges. When you file federal returns, your state tax agency receives notification and will expect state filings for the same years.
To qualify for any payment plan, you need six years of filed returns on record. Filing your three most recent years first satisfies immediate compliance and stops most collection actions. Send all returns via certified mail and keep your green receipt cards as proof of delivery. Our firm prepares accurate returns that minimize your liability and handles both federal and state filing requirements at the same time.
Tax attorneys typically reduce penalties by 40% to 100% depending on your circumstances and compliance history. First-time penalty abatement requests succeed 85% of the time when properly documented. Bankruptcy discharges penalties over three years old if the tax return was filed on time and the debt meets other requirements.
Upload your IRS notices through our secure client portal for immediate review. We calculate your potential penalty reduction, file Form 843 for abatement, and negotiate directly with the IRS to lower what you owe.
The IRS prosecutes willful FBAR violations involving intentional hiding of assets but rarely prosecutes non-willful oversights. Willful means you knew about the requirement and ignored it, while non-willful means you forgot or didn’t know. Euclid residents who are trust beneficiaries must report foreign trust accounts exceeding $10,000.
Treasury guidance in FinCEN Notice 2020-1 updated filing procedures. Prepare amended returns with explanatory statements showing why you missed deadlines. Calculate penalty exposure ranging from $10,000 per year for non-willful to 50% of balances for willful violations.
Yes, if you misreported trades or missed transactions worth over $1,000 in unreported gains. The IRS estimates 55% of crypto traders incorrectly report their transactions. Long-term capital gains rates drop from 37% to 15% after holding 366 days, which many traders miss when amending.
FATCA requires reporting foreign exchange accounts over $50,000 on Form 8938. Amend prior returns using Form 1040-X within three years. Build audit defense files before IRS contact.
Manufacturing businesses around Lincoln Electric and the Lakeshore Boulevard industrial corridor run into trouble when quarterly payroll deposits get missed. The Cuyahoga County Recorder processes tax liens on Euclid properties that lock up everything until you settle the debt. A tax attorney in Euclid sees this constantly with welding and metal fabrication shops where the owner focused on landing the next contract instead of keeping the IRS current. The Cleveland office on East 9th Street handles enforcement for Euclid, Wickliffe, and Willowick.
Homes near Euclid Creek and the lakefront aren’t exempt from liens either. Business owners in Richmond Heights and Cleveland Heights face the same problem when tax debt piles up. Once that lien hits the county recorder, your property can’t be sold or refinanced until it’s cleared. Get help before the filing happens.
