If they owe you, you can file at any time without a problem.  I didn't file in 2000, but I filed in 2001 with both returns, and got a HUGE payment.  It was awesome.

If you have closed on the loan, you are done.  If they are asking for tax returns that they have not received, I seriously doubt you have actually closed.  In any case, file returns now.  If you are due a refund, you are still within the 3 year window to claim the refund.  If you owe the IRS, penalties and interest continue to accrue until you pay.  The 3 year window for assessing tax does not start until you file.  If you never file, the IRS can come after you forever even without alleging fraud.

You will possibly be liable for any taxes that you are responsible for.If this guy is a big enough tax evader, you can get a percentage of everything he owes, sometimes 20%.This could MORE than cover any taxes you owe.The IRS prints out Publication 15 Circular E, that defines exactly what a contractor is, what an employee is, and how much tax is to be withheld. Yes, I would report him. Talk to a lawyer or someone affiliated w/ legal aid at a law school, if you don't have the money to hire a lawyer.Oh, and have a new job ready.

Wayne Z is right that statute of limitations has expired for 02, and you can still file for 03, but wrong about them paying you interest.  You did not file a timely return (April 15th without extension, or October 15th w/extensions), therefore, the IRS does not owe you any interest.

You will always have to file income taxes even if you do not owe our government money.  Sorry!

You may need to ask your question with some additional details.\n\nI assuming here, but it appears that you failed to files returns on which you were due a refund.  You most likely received a demand for return notice within the first 18 months.  You filed a return well after three years from the original or extended due date.  And you were denied your refund as a result of statute.  You requested an administrative appeal based on their decision. They are asking you for the grounds of your appeal.\n\nIf so, here is what happened.  The statute of limitations runs for three years from the date of the filing of the return.  If you don't file a return, the statute never stops running, and the IRS can come after you to prepare a return at any time.\n\nHowever, if the IRS has money due to you, and you do not request it back within three years of the original due date, or extended due date, they are not permitted to continue to hold your money ad infinitum.  No government agency is permitted to hold your money if they cannot find you and follow set proceedures in order to reach you.\n\nAs the IRS cannot hold your money after the time allowed by statute, they submit the money to the deparment of unclaimed property.  The Federal government and every State has a department of unclaimed property, which makes the money available for government use until you file sufficient claims.\n\nIf my summary is close to correct, and the IRS followed ALL required proceedures in order to notify you of their intent to submit your property, then you have no grounds for administrative appeal, and instead need to focus you efforts on the department of unclaimed property.  If the IRS failed to follow ALL required proceedures, then that is the grounds for your appeal.  And you will need to specify which proceedures were not followed under statute.

Why not call a tax attorney (some offer a free first consultation). Find out from him/her what you need to do and how to handle it.\n\nIf you owe a lot, many times, a tax attorney can work out a deal with the IRS where you only pay a fraction of what you owe. As I see it, contacting an attorney, even if you have to pay, is probably the best way to go.

The first step is to consult an accountant or enrolled agent in order to determine what you owe, including interest and penalties.  Then you need to choose a representative to deal with the IRS on your behalf, who may be your accountant or enrolled agent, or may be an attorney.  You should find someone who has experience representing clients in similar circumstances.\n\nYou should act quickly if the IRS has not contacted you yet, because you may be able to reduce your liability by coming forward voluntarily.

Make sure you file your return even if you cant pay what is due.  Wait for the IRS to bill you, once you have the bill call IRS and make arrangements to pay monthly what they determine you can pay.

Your best bet is to make a payment plan with the irs. This way you can still go to your friends wedding, and won't get charge a pently for not filing.Make sure you change your W4 and get more taxes taking out.

as many years as they can get away with it. The IRS will find you and put you in jail if you do not pay your taxes.\n\nEveryone has to file once a year.

Make sure you check with your CPA before you do any of this, but you might try a couple of things.\n\n1. Go ahead and file your return on April 17th showing the $2,000 liability and send a check for as much of it as you can pay. That way, you don't have to pay failure to file penalties. You will however have to pay interest (The IRS charges a reasonable rate.\n\n2. Some have mention setting up a payment plan. I believe there is a small fee to set this up. And it will be more than interest. So find a way to come up with the $500. A friend, family member, credit card, or certainly a bank will loan this to you. Since it is only $500, this is what I would do.

File form 4868\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf\n\nRemember that this is not an extension to pay late. If you\nowe the IRS, you are required to pay what you owe by 4/17.\nThe form is simply an extension for the paper work.

Yes.  You can scream, throw things, and stomp about the house.  Then you have to use the 1099C on your tax return and see what the actual result is.  If you owe money that you don't have, work out a payment plan with the IRS.  Difficult, but it can be done.

Definitely call them.  Just because it is their fault they were late processing, they will still get ya for whatever they can think of.  Just like the IRS - they will come back years later finding a mistake on your tax return and they have the Ba l l s to stick you with late fees and interest for all the time it took them to object.
