Sound Familiar?

The longer this waits,
the heavier it gets.

"I don't even know where my documents are."

W-2s, 1099s, old records — gone, disorganized, or never kept to begin with.

"I got a letter from the IRS."

Notices, balance due letters, or CP-series mail that's been sitting in a drawer for months.

"I was self-employed — it's complicated."

Multiple income sources, no W-2s from an employer, expenses you may or may not have tracked.

"I'm afraid of what I'll owe."

The fear of an unexpected bill — or years of compounding penalties — has made starting feel impossible.

"I'm embarrassed to talk to anyone about it."

This isn't the kind of thing you want to explain to your regular accountant or anyone who knows you.

"Every year I tell myself I'll catch up."

And then life happens, and the stack grows, and the problem feels even bigger than before.

Waiting doesn't make this smaller.
It makes it worse.

Penalties and interest compound every month. The IRS can file a substitute return on your behalf — almost always less favorable than one you file yourself. And the longer the gap, the harder it becomes to reconstruct records.

The best time to deal with unfiled returns was last year. The second best time is today.

Common Questions

You've probably
wondered about this.

This is the most common situation we see. As part of our process, we request your IRS tax transcripts, which contain records of every W-2, 1099, and income document reported under your Social Security number — going back many years. In most cases this gives us everything we need to prepare your returns accurately, even if your personal records are long gone.
Potentially, yes — but the picture is often better than people fear. Failure-to-file penalties (5% per month) stop accruing once the return is filed. Refunds from prior years can sometimes offset balances in others. And if you do owe, the IRS offers installment agreements and other programs that make repayment manageable. We lay all of this out before any return is filed.
Almost never. Filing voluntarily — even after a notice — is almost always more favorable than allowing the IRS to file a substitute return on your behalf. We review any notices as part of the intake process and factor them into our approach from the start.
The IRS generally requires six years of unfiled returns to consider a taxpayer in compliance — but there are situations where earlier years matter. We review your specific situation and recommend exactly which years you need to file, so you're not doing more work than necessary.
It depends on how many years are involved and how complete your records are. A typical engagement where some document retrieval is needed takes four to six weeks from authorization. Simpler W-2-only situations can move faster.
Yes. Everything you share is protected under the same professional confidentiality obligations that govern all licensed CPA engagements. Your information is never shared, sold, or used for any purpose other than preparing and filing your returns.
The assessment is completely free. After we understand your situation we provide a flat-fee quote covering all years. Pricing starts at $597 and is based on the number of years and complexity of your returns — see the pricing section above for full details. You'll know the complete cost before we begin any work.
