The IRS’s first requirement to be eligible for resolution of back taxes is “compliance.” Compliance means that you have filed every tax return that you are required to file.

Do You Have Unfiled Tax Returns?

In the case of old tax returns that were not filed, you can turn to us at Dutton Legal Group. Sometimes old tax information is lost, making it difficult or impossible for you to prepare returns.

With your consent, we can collect all wage and income information associated with your Social Security Number for old tax years, to make sure you include all income that must be included on your return.
