Q: I haven't paid taxes in a while and looking to clear everything up. How do you do that?
A:
Find any tax documents you have in your possession.
Order Wage & Income and account transcripts from the IRS.
Draft and file the missing returns. Ask for forgiveness on any penalties.
Setup a payment plan for the amounts owed, if any.
May want to hire a professional, let me know if you want to chat.

A: If you are suddenly repentant because you would like a $1,200 gift from Uncle Sam you might find out that the money it will cost to go back several years to try to play catch-up will exceed the $1,200--plus put you back on the IRS radar.
A: You should speak with a tax attorney first. You may end up doing yourself more harm then good. Most of us offer a free consultation. Just stay away from the places you see advertised on TV.
