I've worked but have not filed taxes in the last 10 years, where do I begin to fix this? |
I'm currently collecting unemployment benefits, single mom with no savings I'm assuming you have no complicated income, just wages. If you are a single parent with low income, chances are that you do not owe much tax, or in fact are due a refund. Start with the current year. File that and go backwards. You can try to do it yourself, or get a paid preparer to do 2006. Then if you think you can do it, go to irs.gov and print out the forms for 2005 and mail those in, and continue backwards. Any refunds you have due for 2004, 2005, and 2006 can still be paid to you. After you have done 2004, 2005, 2006 if you owe taxes for earlier years, you should file those years as well. If you do not owe taxes for those years, the IRS is not going to pursue you to file those years, even though if you were required to file, you are supposed to file. All forms back to 1990 can be printed on irs.gov. I would say your best bet is to check out your yellow pages under accountants and call up some of them. Tell them your situation and see how much they think it would cost. You could try going on www.irs.gov and downloading the forms that you would need for each year. Oh, just to let you know, if you are owed a refund for any of the back years you can only get refunds for 2004, 2005, and 2006. There is a 3 year limit to file a return where you are owed a refund for, and 2003 and previous are beyond the 3 year point. If you owe the irs there is no time limit as long as you have not filed a return. In addition to the taxes, you would also be charged interest and penalties as well. Hopefully you have all your records of income and deductions for all 10 years, if not you can request a report from the irs as to what they have reported for you for those years. Good luck. |
