Unfiled Taxes
Resolve Unfiled Taxes & Back Returns with Licensed CPA Guidance
Whether you missed one year or multiple years, resolving unfiled taxes is the required first step before the IRS will allow statutory penalty relief, payment agreements, or account settlements. Total Tax Solutions reconstructs your tax history and brings you into full legal compliance.
Lost Record Reconstruction
We pull official IRS wage and income transcripts directly from government servers to retrieve missing W-2s, 1099s, and past earnings records.

Once compliant, we evaluate whether you qualify for statutory IRS Penalty Abatement or help you set up an affordable, formal Installment Agreement.
Frequently Asked Questions About Unfiled Taxes
How many years of unfiled taxes do I need to file?
Under IRS Policy Statement 5-133, the IRS generally requires taxpayers to file delinquent returns for the last 6 consecutive tax years to be considered in filing compliance. However, individual audit or criminal enforcement circumstances can alter this rule.
What happens if the IRS filed a return for me?
When the IRS creates a Substitute for Return (SFR), it calculates tax using standard, single-status deductions and zero business expenses. Submitting an accurate replacement return with your licensed CPA significantly lowers the balance owed.
