Failure to file tax returns

dealing with the IRS

Clearly, when a taxpayer is contacted by the Internal Revenue Service about a tax return which was never filed, a taxpayer should immediately retain a tax professional to represent him.  Tax professionals should tread very lightly in this arena, and look for signs of possible criminal investigation or the possibility of criminal investigation, and refer the client to a criminal tax attorney, when indicated. Only an attorney is equipped with the shield of confidentiality in a criminal matter.  An experienced CPA or Enrolled Agent will know when a referral to an attorney is merited.

Once the background of the situation has been survey by a tax professional, the unfiled returns should be prepared and filed, even if the client cannot pay the tax in full at the time of filing the returns.
