If you’ve missed one or more tax filings, you might worry that it’s too late to fix. The truth? You’re not alone — and with the right help, it’s never too late to make things right with the IRS.

What Happens When You Don’t File

If you don’t file, the IRS will eventually file a Substitute for Return (SFR) for you, based only on your reported income. Because it excludes deductions and credits, it usually shows a much higher balance than what you actually owe.

Once that happens, the IRS can issue liens, garnish wages, or seize refunds.

Why You Should File Voluntarily

Filing voluntarily gives you the advantage. It allows you to:

  • Reclaim deductions and credits you’re entitled to

  • Qualify for payment or settlement options

  • Avoid or reduce penalties
