Facing an IRS Audit - Owing Back or Unfiled Taxes in King County

King County Tax Law Attorney Will Help Solve Your Tax Situation

Washington Law Firm Focused on Tax Matters

The complexities of the tax code and poor economic conditions have caused many people to encounter tax problems. But for every problem, there is a solution and the IRS will work with those who are upfront and honest about their situation and tax problems.

Many taxpayers avoid filing federal tax returns because they fear that they will owe a substantial amount of money that they are unable to pay. If you are in this situation, the IRS may allow you to enter into an installment plan to make payments against your back taxes. With the help of an experienced tax lawyer like Lana Kurilova Rich, you can negotiate a workable payment plan or determine if you might qualify for an offer in compromise or other solution.

Unfiled Tax Returns

Regardless of your situation, it is always best to file your taxes as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in not receiving a refund if you’ve overpaid, or being assessed penalties and interest if you owe unpaid taxes.

Unpaid Taxes

As soon as the IRS realizes that you have unpaid taxes, it will begin the charge penalties and interest. As time goes on and the taxes remain unpaid, collection efforts will become more aggressive. The IRS will continue to make collection efforts until either the taxes are paid or some other type of payment arrangements are made.

IRS Audit

Although many people believe that the chances of an IRS audit are extremely low, the fact is a taxpayer is more likely than not to receive an audit during their lifetime, and an audit usually results in the taxpayer owing more in taxes than the original assessment.
