Ask Denson Pepper CPA for Help With Income Tax Problems
My name is Denson Pepper, and I am a CPA in public practice for more than thirty years in Georgia. I specialize in helping people with their IRS and state income tax problems, as well as problems with business taxes and payroll reports.
Non-filing of returns is widespread in our country. Many people seem to believe that if they don't receive an IRS notice inquiring about a return, they are not subject to filing.
There are also several unpleasant consequences to non-filing. The IRS will often file a return for you with scant deductions allowed. If you don't submit your return in a timely manner, you will be assessed this incorrect amount, and it becomes a costly process to have it corrected. If you are due a refund but don't file the return within 3 years of the return's due date, the IRS is legally allowed to keep your refund. The statute of limitations never runs on non-filed returns.

Why You Need to File Back Tax Returns
Absent fraud, the IRS will normally not audit a return after 3 years of receipt and assessment. A non-filed return is theoretically open to audit forever. Once a return has been filed and assessed, people sometimes have trouble paying the balance due. I help negotiate an Installment Agreement on taxpayer's behalf. Or, sometimes, a classification of currently not collectible is allowed.
Can I get my IRS debt wiped out like they show on TV?
Offers in compromise are touted in TV and radio ads. It is possible to get the IRS to accept this arrangement but acceptance is not as prevalent as these ads would have you believe. In fact, attorneys general in many states and the IRS are cracking down on these mostly false promises. The more likely outcome in most cases is a negotiated installment agreement. However, we will do the calculations to see if a client is a good candidate for compromise acceptance. Dealing with the IRS is a process, and patience and perseverance are necessary qualities, and Denson Pepper CPA has the expertise to deal with the IRS and help you solve your tax issues.
