Unfiled Tax Returns?

We Help You Catch Up Without Fear or Penalty

Haven’t Filed Taxes in Years? We Help You File Back Taxes and Avoid IRS Trouble.

If you haven’t filed your tax returns — whether it’s been two years or twenty — you’re not alone. Millions of Americans fall behind for reasons like illness, divorce, job loss, or simple overwhelm.

But the longer you wait, the worse the consequences can become.

At National Tax Aid, we specialize in helping individuals and business owners in Orange County and nationwide get back on track — confidentially, affordably, and with full IRS compliance.

Types of Audits We Handle:

Determine exactly what years need to be filed

Pull IRS transcripts to recover missing W-2s, 1099s, and income records

Prepare and file accurate tax returns with maximum deductions

Negotiate penalties, interest relief, or payment plans

Stop garnishments or collections tied to unfiled returns

We’ve helped thousands of clients go from total tax chaos to complete resolution — often without facing any new penalties.

Why Filing Back Taxes Matters

When you don’t file your tax returns, the IRS can:

  • File a Substitute for Return (SFR) on your behalf — with no deductions or credits
  • Send penalty and interest notices that grow monthly
  • Place liens on your property
  • Issue bank levies or wage garnishments
  • Refer your case to IRS collections or criminal investigation

The good news? When you voluntarily take action, the IRS is far more willing to work with you — and we make it easy.

F.A.Q.

How many years back can I still file?
Generally, the IRS expects you to file the last 6 years, though you may need to file further back if you’re self-employed, have an open audit, or want a refund.
Yes — but only for the last 3 years. After that, any refund money is forfeited.
We can request IRS wage and income transcripts going back over a decade — and reconstruct missing records if needed.
Criminal charges are rare for non-filers unless there’s clear evidence of willful tax evasion. The IRS prefers resolution — and we help you avoid legal trouble.
No problem. Once your filings are complete, we can help you apply for an Installment Agreement, Offer in Compromise, or Currently Not Collectible status.
