Non-Filed Individual Income Tax Returns

June 10, 2019

The most common type of tax return is the Individual Tax Return, and millions of taxpayers fail to file it on time. It’s due by April 15th of the following tax year – or, if extended, it’s due August 15th.

First, you must prepare all un-filed tax returns and get them filed with the IRS – as soon as possible. In most situations, filing un-filed tax returns with the IRS will reduce the likelihood of criminal prosecution.
