If you’ve missed a few years of tax filings, it can feel intimidating to start again — but waiting only gives the IRS more power. The sooner you file, the better your options become.

What Happens If You Don’t File

If you fail to file, the IRS can prepare a Substitute for Return (SFR) using only your reported income. This version excludes deductions, dependents, and credits — which almost always means you owe more than you should.

Once the return is processed, the IRS can begin enforcement, including wage garnishment or liens.

Why Filing Voluntarily Is the Smart Move

Filing before the IRS acts gives you control. It allows you to:

• Fix inflated balances caused by SFRs

• Qualify for settlement or payment options

• Show good faith and reduce potential penalties
