I hear people say they never file tax returns and the IRS doesnt do anything to them. Why should I continue to file?
Taxpayers who get behind in filing tax returns from time to time often make the problem worse by never filing. You know the IRS is out there looking for you and you want to start sleeping like a baby again. So whats the hold up? Well, most people with unfiled returns are afraid of what will happen to them when they get back in the system. By using an Attorney to represent you, as you file these old returns, the Attorney will be the contact person with the IRS. They will deal with all the IRS communications, and you can get straight with the IRS without worrying. Sure there are people who dont file returns and havent been caught yet, just as there are drunken drivers that havent been arrested yet. But, over time, many people are caught for both drunken driving and income tax evasion. Taxpayers who fail to file an income tax return each year can be criminally prosecuted and receive jail sentences. Hopefully, this potential loss of freedom is enough to convince you to file. Its one thing
