Owe Back Taxes? Get Help From Irvine’s Trusted Tax Experts
What Are Back Taxes and Why Do They Matter?
Back taxes are unpaid taxes from previous years, often caused by unfiled returns, miscalculations, or financial hardships. The IRS adds penalties and interest, which can quickly escalate your debt. Acting fast prevents consequences like tax liens or wage garnishments, ensuring you stay on solid financial ground. Below are common scenarios that lead to back taxes:
Unfiled Tax Returns
Failure-to-file penalties (up to 5% per month, max 25%) and accruing interest.
Underreported Income
Accuracy-related penalties (20% of underpayment) and potential audits.
Financial Hardship
Inability to pay taxes on time, leading to compounding interest and collection actions.
Calculation Errors
Unexpected tax bills due to mistakes on filed returns, triggering penalties.
