Today I am talking about filing previous years' taxes, also known as back taxes. I tell you how to file your back taxes step-by-step, how many years back you can (and possibly should) file your back taxes, and more! ➡️ Email [email protected] to get help with filing your back tax returns!

There are many consequences to not filing your tax return, and it's generally in your best interest to file your back taxes as soon as possible. You should also be aware of the interest and penalties that accrue on back taxes because they can be significant, especially the penalties. Thankfully, in this video, I cover how the penalties are calculated and how you can possibly get rid of them. And even if you don't owe taxes, you still want to file to secure your previous year's tax refund. If you're wondering how many years back you can get a tax refund, I cover that too.

Tax relief is a general term used to describe various programs that taxpayers and their representatives — such as enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys — utilize to minimize or even eliminate the taxes, penalties, and interest a taxpayer owes to the IRS and other tax agencies.

These tax relief programs range from a simple phone call to the government for first-time penalty abatement to a full-fledged offer in compromise.

In this video, Logan Allec CPA answers the question, "What Is Tax Relief?" and goes over the three major IRS tax relief programs we use everyday for our clients.
