Legal Question in Tax Law in California

Re: What's the best way to handle very late tax filing?

The only way to get this matter resolved is to file your returns. The IRS does NOT want to put you in jail, and they are willing to do things to get you back into the maintream of filing regular tax returns. Offers in compromise, abatement of penalties, etc.

The bottom line is that they will do NOTHING until you file your returns, and the IRS statute of limitations does not begin until after your returns are filed.

You should hire a tax attorney who can advise you on innocent spouse, offers in compromise, filing past returns and related matters. If you need referrals, we can provide.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

If you send a lawyer or law firm email, your email will not create an attorney-client relationship and will not necessarily be treated as privileged or confidential. You should not send sensitive or confidential information via email. The lawyer or law firm to whom you are writing may not choose to accept you as a client. Moreover, as the Internet is not necessarily a secure environment it is possible that your email sent via the Internet might be intercepted and read by third parties.
