First, get yourself a Certified Public Accountant that specializes in taxes. Interview them to be assure they have experience working with the IRS. It is likely they have dealt with them and know exactly what to do.
Before your appointment with the CPA, gather all bank statements, cancelled checks, credit card receipts and statements, and any other written record of financial transaction nature for the last 5 years. Go through them so you will know what each one represents.
Explain your situation to the CPA. He will file tax returns to bring you current. Pay the amount he says is due immediately. Once he does, it will probably take the IRS about a year to respond.
There will be penalties. That is not the worse that can happen. Depending mostly on the amount of taxable income that has gone unreported, they may do a thorough audit. This you want to avoid. That is why it is so important that you find everything before they do.
I hope this helps. |

With no records, you have a major problem now. I'd suggest seeing a CPA - but wait until after April 15 so they aren't so busy. |

Fill out IRS form 4506-T and order a copy of what the IRS has. |

Most accountants will give you a free initial consultation and should be able to give you an estimate of costs - but remember if you don't tell them everything, there may be extra charges. Look for an enrolled agent - they have taken a test through the IRS, so have some credentials - unlike some of the yahoos at H&R Block, or Jackson Hewitt.
You might want to talk to three different accountants before you chose one. |

You can file your taxes (if the income for the year and your situation stated that you have to) and make a monthly payment plan. If you make a payment plan, it will not go on your credit as negative. You need to do this because if you don't pay uncle sam, he won't let you do ANYTHING! That's the one agency you owe that you can't duck and dodge. No other "creditor" can put you in jail but the IRS so do what you gotta do! |

You should talk to an attorney who specializes in tax problems. Most attorneys will give you a free consultation, and I really think you will need an attorney to get this straightened out. |

Yikes...that's not good !! I would be scared to tell anyone...for fear of being arrested !! (just kidding). I would call an accounting firm and ask them what to do. |

You didn't save your w2's? Then there's no way to really prove anything. The money in your accounts could have come from anywhere for all they know.
ALWAYS save your w2's!! |
