Who This Is For

Built for People Who Have Fallen Behind

If any of these sound familiar, this service was built for your situation.

You have unfiled years

One year slipped, then another, and now the stack feels too big to face alone.

You lost your records

Statements and documents are missing, and you are not sure how to even start.

The IRS filed for you

A substitute return was filed on your behalf, almost always overstating what you owe.

You are afraid to start

You do not know what you owe, and the uncertainty has kept you stuck.

You need to prove compliance

A lender or immigration process requires filed returns you do not yet have.

You want to fix it first

You would rather come forward on your own terms than wait for the IRS to act.

How Jason Helps

A Clear Path Back to Compliant

You get a licensed professional who handles the whole catch-up, without the judgment.

Missing years identified

We pull your IRS transcripts to see exactly which years are open and what income the IRS already has on file.

Records reconstructed

When documents are gone, we rebuild the picture from transcripts and available records so the returns are accurate.

Substitute returns replaced

We replace the IRS substitute returns with accurate ones that usually lower what you owe.

Flat fee, quoted upfront

One fixed price after a free consultation. No hourly meter, and you approve the number before any work starts.

Clarifications

Back-Tax Questions, Answered

How many years back do I need to file?
The IRS generally wants the last six years of returns to consider you compliant, though your situation can differ. We pull your transcripts and confirm exactly which years are open.
What if I do not have my records?
That is common and workable. We retrieve your IRS wage and income transcripts and reconstruct the return from available data, which is often enough to file accurately.
Will I get in trouble for unfiled taxes?
For most ordinary non-filers, coming forward and filing voluntarily is the path back to good standing. We help you do it correctly. This is general information, not legal advice.
The IRS filed a return for me. Can you fix it?
Usually yes. An IRS substitute return leaves out deductions and credits and overstates the tax. We prepare an accurate return to replace it, which often reduces the balance.
What if I cannot pay what I owe?
We get you filed and compliant first, then set up a payment plan or pursue a resolution that fits your situation.
How much does catch-up filing cost?
You get one flat fee, quoted after a free consultation, priced per return by complexity, before any work begins.
