The process of completing and filing tax returns can become overwhelming, especially when you fall behind. If you didn’t file a tax return last year—or you missed filing a return in one or more previous years—it probably happened for a reason.

These are the most common issues taxpayers face that can result in a delinquent return.

• Missing records or paperwork
• Inability to pay the amount of tax due, or a reasonable portion
• Fear of the consequences that may result from owing federal taxes
• Putting off filing until the last minute, then not being able to finish the task
• Lack of knowledge about the resources available to taxpayers, such as installment plans for taxes owed

Whatever your reason for waiting to file your return, the J Gannon Helstowski Law Firm can help. We make it easy to prepare and file missing returns by doing the most difficult legwork for you.

Our tax experts can locate your previous wage and mortgage interest information by combing existing IRS back files for all forms W2, 1099 and 1098 submitted in your name. They can also locate the master file transcript (Tax Transcripts) for each tax year in question, which is the document that the IRS uses to prepare a substitute return when you don’t file one. These transcripts contain much of the information you will need to file or amend an previous year’s tax return, such as your adjusted gross income, taxable income, tax rate, number of exemptions, filing status, and even self employment tax if applicable.

If missing records are the issue, we can also help you find substitute documentation that meets IRS standards. But the best reason to take advantage of our comprehensive IRS knowledge and support services is that our tax experts will also check for additional deductions or savings to which you may be entitled.

We are ready to work with you on completing and filing your missing returns, and it’s important to act fast. The longer you avoid dealing with tax debt the more it will cost you in the end, especially if you are experiencing wage garnishment.
