You can try, but tax authorities have specific procedures, deadlines, and documentation requirements. One missed deadline, incomplete response, or incorrect submission can escalate penalties and interest charges. Professional representation protects your rights, minimizes your liability, and handles all correspondence so you don't have to deal with auditors or collections directly. We know what tax authorities are looking for, how to present your case, and how to negotiate the best possible outcome.

We handle unfiled tax returns (personal and corporate), tax debt and payment plan negotiations, audit representation and appeals, penalty reduction and relief, records reconstruction if you're missing documentation, and correspondence with tax authorities. Whether you've fallen behind on one year or multiple years, face an audit, or owe back taxes, we can help you resolve it and get back on track.

The longer unfiled returns remain outstanding, the more penalties and interest accumulate. Tax authorities can also estimate what you owe and assess taxes against you—often at amounts higher than what you actually owe. We prepare and file all outstanding returns, work to minimize penalties and interest through proper representation, and help you set up payment arrangements if needed. The sooner you address it, the better the outcome.

It depends on the complexity of your situation. Simple unfiled returns can be resolved in a few weeks once we have all documentation. More complex cases involving audits, appeals, or multiple years of unfiled returns can take several months. We'll assess your situation during our initial consultation and give you a realistic timeline. Throughout the process, we handle all interactions with tax authorities and keep you updated on progress.

Criminal charges for tax issues are rare and typically reserved for cases involving fraud, intentional evasion, or large-scale tax schemes. Most people who haven't filed or owe back taxes face civil penalties and interest charges, not criminal prosecution. If you voluntarily come forward to resolve unfiled returns or tax debt, you significantly reduce any risk. We help you get compliant, minimize penalties, and resolve your tax issues properly.
