Common questions
What happens if I don't file my taxes?
Penalties and interest accrue from the due date, and the IRS can eventually file a return for you — usually not in your favor. Filing, even late, generally leads to a better outcome than not filing.
Can tax debt be reduced or settled?
The IRS offers installment agreements and, in some cases, an Offer in Compromise to settle for less than owed. Eligibility depends on income, expenses, and asset equity.
What should I do if I get an audit notice?
Do not ignore it. Gather the records the notice asks for and consider getting help before responding — what you say and send during an audit matters.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring the IRS or state notice, recent tax returns, and any records of income, deductions, and payments related to the years in question.
