Filing Delinquent Returns

Practical help getting current in Dallas and Houston, TX. Falling behind on tax filings happens more often than most people realize—business changes, health issues, bookkeeping gaps, or lost records can derail even diligent taxpayers. The good news is that the IRS will generally work with you once accurate returns are filed and a clear plan is in place. We reconstruct records, file the right returns, and coordinate a resolution path so you can move forward confidently.

Typical Steps

• Pull transcripts: We obtain wage/income reports and account transcripts to identify exactly which years and forms are outstanding.
• Rebuild records: Using bank data, 1099s/W‑2s, vendor statements, and bookkeeping tools, we reconstruct income and deductible expenses.
• Prepare filings: We draft and file individual, business, and payroll returns as required, coordinating with your accountant when appropriate.
• Align the strategy: We pair filings with an installment agreement, penalty abatement, or an OIC where facts support it.

Why Accuracy Matters

Accurate returns reduce the risk of audits and additional assessments, help qualify you for penalty relief, and create a solid foundation for payment plans or settlement. Submitting complete, consistent information also builds credibility with IRS personnel—an important factor when you need flexibility on timelines or payment amounts.

Common Questions

How many years must I file? It depends on IRS policy and your facts, but the IRS often requires the last six years to be current. We confirm the exact requirement for your case.

What if I’m missing records? We can reconstruct using third‑party data and reasonable estimates where permitted, documenting methodology to support the numbers.
