FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What happens if I haven’t filed my tax returns for several years?
You may face IRS penalties, interest, wage garnishments, or legal consequences. However, catching up on your filings is often the first step toward resolution—and can even unlock missed refunds.
-
Can I still file a return if I lost my tax documents?
Yes. We can request IRS wage and income transcripts and help reconstruct the necessary data to accurately complete your returns.
-
Will I go to jail for not filing taxes?
Failure to file is a misdemeanor, but jail is rare for non-filers who take action. Filing now significantly reduces legal risks and potential penalties.
-
How far back can I file and still claim a refund?
Generally, you can claim a refund for any return filed within three years of its original due date. After that, refunds may be forfeited.
-
Can Riley & Company negotiate with the IRS for me?
Yes. We represent you in all communications with the IRS and can request payment plans, offers in compromise, or penalty reductions based on your situation.
