Unfiled Return Completion

Why Unfiled Returns Create Additional Risk

When required returns are not filed:

• The IRS may prepare a Substitute for Return (SFR) using third-party data

• Deductions, credits, and elections are typically not included in IRS-prepared filings

• Penalties and interest may continue to grow

• Resolution programs are generally not available until filings are current

Becoming compliant is often the first—and most critical—step toward resolving any outstanding tax balance.

The Advantage of Voluntary Compliance

Filing delinquent tax returns voluntarily allows taxpayers to:

• Claim legitimate deductions and credits

• Establish accurate tax liability

• Reduce uncertainty created by estimated IRS assessments

• Open the door to resolution options such as payment plans or negotiated settlements

Once returns are properly filed, the total tax exposure can be evaluated and addressed in a structured manner.

Resolution-Oriented Next Steps

Unfiled return issues are typically part of a broader tax resolution analysis. Each situation is different and depends on factors such as income history, filing gaps, enforcement status, and overall financial condition.
