What Are Past Due Tax Return?

Back taxes are unpaid state or federal taxes that remain outstanding after the filing deadline. They may result from:

  • Not filing a return on time

  • Filing but not paying the full balance

  • IRS adjustments or audits

  • Misclassified income (W-2 vs. 1099)

  • Life events that made it difficult to file

Unresolved back taxes can lead to penalties, interest, wage garnishment, liens, or levies. That’s why it’s crucial to act quickly.

How We Help Resolve Back Taxes
