What to Do If You Have Unfiled Tax Returns

Unfiled Tax Returns? You’re Not Alone — and You Have Options

Falling behind on tax filings happens more often than most people think. Whether it’s one year or several, individuals and business owners across Malverne, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, and the wider Long Island area come to Capri Tax & Accounting for support when they need to catch up on unfiled tax returns.

The most important thing to know: there is always a path forward. And with professional guidance, you can resolve past-due returns much faster — and with far less stress — than trying to navigate it on your own.

Why Filing Your Missing Returns Matters

Leaving tax returns unfiled can lead to issues you might not see right away:

• The IRS can assess penalties and interest

• Refunds may be lost after three years

• Wage garnishments, levies, or substitute tax returns may be initiated

• Loan, mortgage, and financial approvals may require the missing returns

• Business owners may face serious operational or legal setbacks

But addressing the problem early — before the IRS does — gives you more control over the outcome and often reduces consequences.
