greta1299 | What happens if someone hasn't filed a tax return in 20 years? |
They have had income taxes taken out of their paycheck all this time. Now they got married last year and want to file a joint tax return for 2007. Will they and/or their spouse be penalized or fined? Who do they need to talk to? |

If an IRS has not made demands for the returns it means their computer do not detect any significant tax liability.
As a matter of policy enshrined in the IRS manual, they will not solicit more than six years worth of delinquent returns unless there is fraud. Negligence is not fraud.
Call IRS at 800-829-1040 and it can provide you an information returns transcript with all the W-2's and 1099's you have received for the last six years.
If you have a refund due, the return must be filed within three years of the original due date or the statute of limitations for claiming the refund expires. For now, this means returns for 2004 and later.
Similarly, if you have self-employment income, it must be reported within three years of the original due date or the statute of limitations for having your Social Security account credited expires but you will still owe the self-employment tax.
I suspect that if you owe anything, the amount will be low or IRS would have been in contact with you before now. |

There are tax lawyers who deal with situations like this. A friend had this problem as well, without the marriage situation. |

If the IRS has never been in touch it's a virtual certainty that you don't owe anything for tax years prior to 2004 and probably 2005. They're still "crunching the numbers" on 2006 but with that patteren I'd guess that 2006 is also safe.
What they have most likely done by not filing tax returns is they've made a gift to the IRS of any refunds that they would have been entitled to over the years had they filed a timely return. That's probably tens of thousands of dollars if they're like the typical taxpayer who gets back over $2,000 every year.
For tax years 2004 through 2006 there is still time to file those returns and claim any refunds due. The deadline for tax year 2004 is rapidly approaching since refunds must be claimed within 3 years of the filing deadline so they need to get that in the mail to the IRS no later than April 15, 2008 or they'll lose that money as well. They can get the forms and instructions from the IRS website or go to a tax pro if they wish and are willing to pay for their services.
While the IRS will assess penalties and interest for late filing and payment that's only based upon the tax due. If no tax is due there are no penalties.
It is also IRS policy to not pursue any tax debts older than 6 years unless they can prove Tax Fraud. Failing to file is negligence, NOT Tax Fraud, so they can safely ignore anything prior to tax year 2000. |

OMG....it is amazing that they have no tax liens on their credit. But they may have some attached to their names.
They need to go to a tax preparer and find out what penalties they may incur. My warning: be prepared for huge penalties, interest and no refunds! |

Well, if they are supposed to get lots of money back then they would never get any of that money back at all... ever.
And then remember that if they do owe money that they will probably be fined and/or go to jail. |

My sister had the same situation, but only for about five years. She just never filed. When they finally caught up with her, they told her that if she would have filed, she would have gotten money back for each year. But, since she didn't, they added penalties for not filing and interest on those penalties for the five years. She is still paying |

Not to be dumb but........ how does that happen? I would call a tax attorney and be prepared to shell out lots of dough, either to the government or to the attorney. Good luck. |

Might as well put their head between their legs and kiss their a** goodbye. If they owed any money, the IRS would take them to the cleaners, and they might even face jail time. Generally, their life would suck real bad.Before their 2007 tax return would be accepted, they'd have to get up to date. |

You are OK with the IRS only if you do not owe but if you owe they will get those backtaxes from you no matter what. First they will conduct an audit. Since they only keep records five years back they might estimate the remaining 15 years taxes according to your earliest year of recorder taxes on hand. Problems might arise from this method and they might screw you royally. Get a tax attorney |
