I just realized that I must file U.S. income tax returns for prior years. How many years back do I have to file?
If you have not filed tax returns for many years, the IRS will require you to file six years of tax returns going back. If you have trouble obtaining any financial documents in order to prepare those returns, a qualified tax attorney can help you with getting those records form the IRS so that the tax returns can be prepared and filed.
