Failure to File in Tampa, FL

Call a Tampa Tax Attorney for Help Filing Past Due Taxes

While there are various reasons why individuals do not file their tax returns, the end result is rarely good. You can be given criminal penalties, including a prison term and hefty fines. In many cases, the IRS will assess monetary penalties and interest for the past due taxes, making your tax situation even more difficult.

What Happens if I Don't File My Taxes?

The IRS has the ability to file a substitute tax return for you but they may not, however, have the full information regarded your exemptions and expenses and can overstate your tax liability. The moment your tax debt is figured out, the IRS can begin the collection process. You may suffer a wage garnishment or a lien or levy in order to enforce payment.

Failure to file returns is not a problem that will go away and it will definitely get worse with time. By using a committed Tampa IRS tax relief attorney from our office, you will have a firm that is dedicated to obtaining the best outcome possible in your case.
