Back Taxes Help
Owing back taxes to the IRS can happen for many reasons, and it doesn’t always mean you’ve done something wrong. Common reasons people fall behind include:
- Missing estimated quarterly tax payments if you’re self-employed.
- Forgetting to file one or more tax returns.
- Claiming a deduction or credit you weren’t eligible for.
- Making mistakes on your tax return that caused you to underpay.
- Missing payroll tax payments if you own a business.
If you owe back taxes, the IRS will usually send you a notice explaining that you have a balance due. Ignoring these notices can lead to additional penalties, interest, and collection actions.
Find Out How Much You Owe
The IRS doesn’t always include your exact balance in its first notice. To see what you owe, you can request an IRS Account Transcript, which provides details about your tax balance, payments, and penalties.
Take Action Early
The sooner you address your tax debt, the more options you may have. Waiting can result in additional fees, wage garnishments, bank levies, or tax liens.
A CPA or Enrolled Agent can communicate with the IRS on your behalf, review your tax situation, and help you explore solutions such as:
- Payment plans
- Penalty relief when you qualify
- Settlement options
- Resolving unfiled tax returns
- Stopping or preventing collection actions when possible
