WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FILING PAST DUE TAX RETURNS
Do you have unfiled tax returns? Has the IRS contacted you about the non-filing of tax returns? Has the IRS made "estimated assessments" against you? If so, Demetriou, Montano & Associates can help, even if you have not filed for twenty years. We provide tax preparation services typical to most tax preparation firms, but we are different.
We routinely prepare tax returns for the past five to fifteen years where most return preparation firms regularly prepare the current year or one or two prior year returns. (The record in our firm was a client who had not filed for 34 years.) Many tax return preparation firms state that if you do not have receipts, invoices, bank statements, canceled checks, etc., you cannot claim deductions. Demetriou, Montano & Associates is very experienced at and regularly prepares tax returns without many or all of the above items.
First, we need to determine which tax returns actually need to be filed. That's right, you may NOT have to file all of your unfiled tax returns, but how do you know which ones? Second, we need to prepare the required tax returns as soon as possible, but how much time do we really have? Third, almost any licensed preparer, CPA, Enrolled Agent, etc., can prepare your tax returns, but what if you have no records? Fourth, knowing how to negotiate with the IRS tax collector is the key to the successful resolution of your tax problems. So, the question is, do you know what to say or more importantly what NOT to say to the tax collector? If the IRS has made an estimated assessment against you, can it be fixed?
DM&A has already helped thousands of people and businesses resolve unfiled tax return problems just like yours. We even help "tax protestors" get back into compliance. One important aspect is that when clients come to us after the tax collector knocks on the door, we understand the urgency, can obtain additional time to file the tax returns and can apply our resources to expeditiously prepare several tax years to meet the tax collectors deadline.
