"Silence is Golden." It is an often used cliche.  It is not used at the Internal Revenue Service.  It is not used in your state's department of taxation.   You must file required tax returns and you must respond to notices you receive, even if you think the notices are wrong.

The news reports of billions of dollars in uncollected back taxes are inaccurate.  There are billions of dollars in assessed taxes.  That does not make the assessments accurate.  In many cases these assessments are based on estimated amounts or incorrect information.  The IRS will continue to try to collect what it believes is owed until you die and, in some cases, after you die.  Many tax notices can be reduced to zero simply by filing a tax return with the proper information.  Many can be reduced with reasonable cause for failing to file the returns.

We are a group of Certified Public Accountants who have years of experience dealing with all types of taxes.  We are continually amazed at how many unfiled tax returns actually have overpaid taxes.  In most cases the Internal Revenue Service is under no obligation to refund overpayments for any return filed more than three years after the due date.  Thousands of dollars are wasted in this manner.  Worse yet, these lost overpayments may not be used to offset any other outstanding amounts which you may currently have.  What could be more distressing than having a $2,300 overpayment for your 2000 income tax and a $2,300 balance due for 2001.  The penalties and interest will continue to accrue on the 2001 balance while the Internal Revenue Service sends you a notice telling you the 2000 tax return was filed more than three years late and the refund cannot be issued.  You paid twice, and for nothing more than waiting unnecessarily.

If you have unfiled tax returns, or you are getting notices which you believe are not correct, contact us as soon as possible.  Click on "Contact Us", provide us with the information requested and you are on your way to getting your tax returns filed, the notices stopped, and peace of mind.
