Delinquent filing refers to any tax return that wasn’t filed by its original due date, whether it’s for individuals, businesses, or self-employed taxpayers. These unfiled returns can trigger a variety of problems with the IRS and New York State, especially if you owe taxes.
When we talk about delinquent filing unfiled tax returns, we're referring to:
Returns from past years that were never submitted
Late-filed returns beyond the standard extension
Returns flagged by the IRS or NYS as overdue
Situations involving penalties, interest, or enforcement action
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to take action, and the sooner, the better.
Delinquent returns happen for many reasons, and most of them are completely understandable. We often help clients who are dealing with:
Medical emergencies or family crises
Job loss or financial hardship
Confusion over self-employment or multiple income streams
Disorganized or lost financial records
Fear of owing more than they can pay
Avoidance due to stress, anxiety, or embarrassment
No matter your reason, KW CPAs approaches every situation with professionalism and compassion. We’re not here to judge, we’re here to help.
The longer you wait, the more difficult (and expensive) things can become. Here are just a few consequences of not addressing delinquent filing unfiled tax returns:
Penalties and Interest
The IRS charges both failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties, which grow over time. Interest compounds monthly, increasing your total debt.
IRS Substitute Returns
If you don’t file, the IRS may file a return on your behalf, called a Substitute for Return (SFR), that typically excludes deductions and results in a higher tax bill.
Tax Liens and Levies
Unpaid taxes can lead to federal tax liens, wage garnishment, or even bank account levies.
Loss of Refunds
If you were due a refund, you only have three years from the filing deadline to claim it. After that, it's gone forever.
Impact on Loans and Credit
Delinquent tax filings can show up on your credit report and make it harder to get mortgages, business loans, or lines of credit.
The bottom line? Delaying only creates more problems. The best move is to face it now , and we’ll walk you through it.
We make the process of resolving delinquent filing unfiled tax returns as simple, stress-free, and straightforward as possible. Here’s how we help:
Step 1: Private Consultation
We’ll start with a confidential, no-pressure meeting. Tell us how many years are unfiled, what records you have, and any notices you’ve received.
Step 2: Gather IRS and NYS Transcripts
Don’t have all your documents? No worries. We can pull official IRS transcripts and reconstruct income records using 1099s, W-2s, bank statements, and more.
Step 3: Prepare and File Missing Returns
Our CPAs will prepare every unfiled return accurately, making sure you receive all eligible deductions, credits, and refunds.
Step 4: Reduce or Resolve Your Balance
If you owe taxes, we can help you negotiate an installment agreement, apply for penalty abatement, or explore an Offer in Compromise.
Step 5: Plan Ahead
Once you're caught up, we'll help you stay organized and compliant moving forward, no more panic in April.
A common myth is that you must pay your entire tax debt immediately when filing delinquent returns. That’s simply not true.
Here’s what we can help you do after filing:
Set up a monthly payment plan with the IRS or NYS
Request First-Time Penalty Abatement if you qualify
Apply for Currently Not Collectible status if you're struggling financially
Negotiate a partial payment settlement (Offer in Compromise)
The IRS is more flexible with taxpayers who voluntarily come forward, especially when represented by a CPA.
One of our clients, a contractor, hadn’t filed in 7 years. He was terrified to come forward but knew the problem wouldn’t fix itself. We retrieved his IRS transcripts, reconstructed income and expenses, and filed all back returns within weeks.
Because of penalty relief and strategic planning, we cut his expected liability by over 50% , and got him on a low monthly payment plan. Today, he’s current and runs his business with confidence.
That’s the power of getting professional help with delinquent filing unfiled tax returns.
