When
State and IRS databases are unable to reconcile the
income reported by banks, employers and others against
your social security number, substitute returns
(SFR) are filed for you.
This
article is a must read for those that have back
taxes that have
again surfaced due to a failure to file and the slow
but relentless pursuit by State and IRS authorities to
collect the past due liability. The vast majority that
have failed to file returns believe they have problems of
monumental proportion when the reality is normally far
from the figments of imagery, conjured. These
misperceptions are spawned and fueled by a collection
notice seeking to collect more late taxes,
delinquent penalties and interest, than you likely owe.
A
claim for a refund must be made within three years
from the due date of the return or two years from the
time the late taxes are paid back whichever, is later.
Withholdings from wages and other sources are
considered paid on the due date of the return.
If a return is not filed to claim a refund within the
period prescribed by the statute of limitations the
IRS will not issue a refund check or apply a refund to
offset the liability of another year. As a
result, an individual with back taxes may be
forfeiting offsets and refunds by failing to file back
tax returns.
Individuals
seeking offer in compromise relief must file all back
tax returns to establish
the total delinquent debt before submitting an offer, to do
otherwise is to solicit offer in compromise rejection.
Filing
late tax returns almost always substantially reduces
the amount of income used to determine your liability and subsequently results in the
reduction of late taxes, penalties and interest in
proportion to the reduction of income subject to taxes
and the
result is often case closed elimination of the debt and/or refunds.
Note:
State Statute of Limitation rules are dependant on
location.
Your
taxable income on a substitute return is determined by subtracting a standard deduction and one
personal exemption from the gross income reported by employers, banks and others and
is not reduced by business expenses, credits, deductions or other exemptions that
you are entitled to claim. As a consequence, the
alleged back taxes, late penalties and interest are based on
income that is not subject to taxes.
Everyone,
and especially those that have lost the documentation
required to prepare their late tax returns must
retrieve IRS and State income transcripts to insure must match
return input and permanent resolution of back
taxes
