Get the taxes prepared and filed as soon as possible so that she can begin to get everything straightened out.  Who knows...she may owe very little and be worrying about nothing!

Try this website http://www.24hourtaxservices.com/prior_year.html\n\nYou will probably have penalties for filing late. You will also need to file state returns for any years you didn't file before. \n\nBest yet, you should check with a tax professional.  An CPA will be able to help you the most.  If you can afford to spend a little more meet with someone in person.

consider filing seperately.  The person without an income just won't have to file anything.  That'll show that their's only one income. You should probably talk to a tax professional to make sure though.

It should not be too hard, people that come from other countries usually get waited on hand and foot...She probably wont have to pay taxes for a few years either.

Do your own taxes online and e-file save the 300. and get it back just as quick!  \nIf you were not refering to taxes it sounds like a scam!!!!

Take your aunt to your local Department of Social Services, make sure she takes her ID, social security card, checking account statement, birth certificate, list of medicines she's on, and medical bills.  Have her see an intake specialist, they will get her signed up immediately.  Word of advice, make sure she doesn't have too much money in her bank account.  If you take most of the needed documentation I've suggested, plus any other vital piece of information you can think of, it will speed up the process of getting her signed on.  Show the paperwork to the intake officer as they ask for it, they sometimes get pissy when you overwhelm them--I guess their job gets to them.\n\nIf you don't have any of these available you can still take her to sign up, they'll just give you a list of the paperwork you need to bring back on your next visit, so take as much as you can.  \n\nBe ready for a long wait so take some snacks and some coins for the vending machine.

Get the forms for the year in question and file the return. If you owe tax they will assess interest and penalty. If you are due a refund you need to get the return filed before three years are past at which time you will lose the refund.\nIf you don't file there is no statute of limitations running and they can come after the return at any time in the future.

Can you track down your sister?  Maybe one of your relatives knows where she is.  I'd probably try to find her first and talk to her about buying her share of the house.  That would probably be the most straightforward and least expensive route.  \n\nPrepare beforehand.  Take the current value of the house.  Divide it in half.  From that half - subtract the mortgage you paid (if she took all the money), half of the taxes you paid and half of the repairs you had done.  Add what you would have paid for rent to live in the house for that time. (Forget the water bills since you used the water.)\n\nThen subtract what you would have paid for rent during that time.\n\nBased on that figure - decide what you're willing to offer to buy her out of the house.  Start on the low side so you have some room to negotiate but be fair.  If you can reach an agreement here it will save a lot of legal fees and hassle.\n\nOtherwise - see a lawyer.  I'm sure a lawyer would be able to advise you on how to use the value of the house to get the repairs done.\n\nI'm not so certain about getting your sister's name removed from the deed.  Your parents wanted her to have half of their home.  While it's your duty to protect your sister's investment by getting the repairs done - it doesn't seem right that you should take her share of the inheritance.

If you don't pay the back taxes they will have to . Or get prove that all taxes are paid then take them to small claims court

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.

i am a tax preparer and the best thing for you to do is to go ahead and file and let them (irs) take what you owe so when you get trough paying them you can have your money for yourself.  Please have a dependent so that you can get enough back so that maybe you may only have to pay back two years, not child support but the irs

try www.irs.gov they tell you what tax breaks and changes there are. ALSO if you know someone that does taxes, go to them or use something like turbo tax to file your return

yes. there's a federal statute that allows them to only go 3 years back. i do taxes for a living for the state and i've seen many people amend them further back, and have refunds, but they don't get the money. if i were you i would check with a lawyer to see what can be done.

You'll have state laws wherever you live, and it will have to be settled through probate within a year of her death (not settled within a year, but go to probate before the year is up).  Other than IRS debts you can usually get out of paying any bills at all if you want to.  If it was a block community grant that helped her out? well, you decide.  But if there is any kind of lien on her house that would have to be settled.  Probate gets you through all of this and will tell you what to do but you should, in no way, end up owing any money to anyone out of your pocket.  Also, don't pay any bills now even if you have her money, just notify debtors of her death, you may need to send a death certificate to them and they will want one Without cause of death indicated, and they'll send the final bill.

Yes, a close family member; and it's no joke.  You've got to remember - taxes on the state and local level support your schools, municipal services like trash pick up; and on the national level, while it's harder to feel, we are blessed compared to other nations. So, don't call the cops, ambulance services, expect no help from 911...you get it.\n\nMy relative is basically just lazy and hates details.  No big protester or anything.  Now that the nation's computerized, you will definitely get addressed.  If you don't owe, you won't have any real ramifications; but if you do, the interest and penalties are severe.  Also, if you have refunds coming back to you, you forfeit them after three tax years.\n\nFinally, philosophically, it's commanded in the Bible to render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's (there are commensurate admonishments in other religions) - which means be a good citizen.  The best way to have no regrets when you're older (you sound kinda young, yet) is to not perform clearly regrettable actions.

Go back to your tax preparer they can do an ammendment...it may take longer to get your taxes back, but it is worth it in the long run

What is the question?\n\nYou should speak to an accountant so that you won't get penalized by the IRS.
