I've gone into a H & R Block a couple times but they charge alot in fees.  I wouldn't suggest going about that way.

It depends on if you had to file or not. I'm fairly sure if you make over $7000 or so you have to file as a single person. Then, if you still owed tax with the filing that you didn't do, then there could be legal consequences; however, if you overpaid on your taxes (by employer withholdings)then you would have no "trouble" buy you have been screwing yourself out of some $$$. In either case, you can post-file all years in question with varying forms from http://www.irs.gov (great site by the way) and find out if you did owe or were owed $$$. Now, if you owed them, they will charge you penalties and interest for the back payments not to exceed a certain amount annually (I forget what the max is, but I'm sure you can look it up on their site easy enough). BUT, if they owed you a return for those years, then you can still file for those years and they will pay you back your refund with interest (minimal interest, and you will have to claim that interest as income on next years taxes too). All the answers should be easily found at the IRS web.\n\nGood Luck!

I had one year that my taxes sent in the mail apparently got lost. I only had about $12.oo coming back, so I paid no attention to it. Nothing came of it until 5 years later. The IRS sent me a notice saying they never received it. That with penalties and interest I OWED THEM over $48,000.oo!\nI had to get an attorney.....ended up costing me around $11,000.oo.

Don't file, unless they withhold taxes on ur paycheck.

i believe you can go back five years. but the government can go back as far as they want for non compliance with the tax laws. i hope for your sake that you had refunds coming. because if not you are looking at major penalties and interest on balance owed.

i think you can get the same with tax cut and its deductible, but if you are itemizing and are worried about it they do offer the protection of guaraneteeing the return. so the only way i would do it is if i 1)had just gotten married and had to proved the name change for a spose or 2) i had done a name change these are the biggest problems that can cause you to have bad luck with the irs

Your taxes are taken before you get your check so no this is not possible.

Everyone is responsible for their own return no matter who filled it out! If you know someone is cheating on their taxes it really becomes a morel issue more than a legal issue.

Most tax preparers will check over your return for free.  I know that Liberty Tax Service will and I think H&R block and Jackson Hewitt will also.  They will charge you to correct it if you messed up, but it gives you the best of both worlds.  If you get it right you don't have to pay.  If you make a mistake it gets caught by someone other than the IRS :)

Can you give any additional details?\nYour preparer could have just made a mistake and they wouldn't be responsible for any penalties.  It is still your tax return and you would have signed it.\nSome companies offer 'insurance' so if the IRS disagrees with how your return was filed that the 'insurance' will pay any taxes that you owe.

Nope (I have never been on welfare or on any charity program).\n\nHowever my taxes are used to pay for welfare and charity programs, and I have volunteered (through church) to help the poor, feed the hungry, visit the sick etc.\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org\n[God and Science]

If you have defrauded the system there is. Did you?

Statistically, the IRS only audits a small percentage of those who file and catches very few of those who "lie".  W2 information is easily verified by computers, so the chances of getting caught doing that are much higher.  Normally, it's the people who own their own businesses with hard to verify sales information (corner pizza store) who get away with "lying".
