We start by identifying which years are missing, what income records are available, whether the IRS has sent notices, and what needs to be filed first.
Back taxes, unfiled returns, IRS notices
Behind on taxes? Let us help you get caught up.
If you have unfiled tax returns, back taxes, an IRS letter, or years of records that feel out of control, FINVERA helps you organize the facts and choose the next responsible step.

Business back taxes and messy records
The panic moment
People call when the tax problem becomes real.
Back-tax work is different from ordinary tax preparation. The client usually needs clarity, calm, and a practical path before the numbers can be finished.
We review the notice number, tax year, response deadline, proposed change, balance, and documents before choosing the next step.
Tax debt planning starts with filing status, current compliance, account transcripts, income, payment history, and whether returns are missing or incorrect.
Business back-tax files often need bookkeeping cleanup, payroll records, 1099 review, bank activity, entity returns, and owner questions organized before filing.
High-intent help
Back tax help is not one-size-fits-all.
The right path depends on the year, notice, records, entity type, and whether you are already current with required filings.

What to gather
Start with the facts that change the answer.
Good back-tax help begins with records. The IRS, state agency, or prior preparer may already have part of the story. FINVERA helps turn that scattered story into a workable file.
- Missing years: list every year you think was not filed or may have been filed incorrectly.
- Income records: gather W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, business income, bank records, retirement forms, and brokerage statements.
- IRS and state letters: keep every page, envelope, deadline, notice number, balance, and proposed change.
- Business records: collect profit and loss, balance sheet, payroll reports, contractor records, bank statements, and prior entity returns.
- Payment history: note estimated payments, prior payments, offsets, installment agreements, or notices saying a payment was not applied.
Call first when it is urgent.
If there is a deadline, levy threat, missing return notice, or multiple-year issue, a call is faster than guessing through a form.

Process
A calm sequence for a stressful tax problem.
Back-tax files need order. We do not jump straight to promises, forms, or filings before the facts are clear.
Talk through the issue
We identify the years, notices, deadline pressure, filing history, income type, business activity, and what you are trying to fix.
Organize the records
You upload prior returns, IRS letters, W-2s, 1099s, business records, payroll reports, and payment information through a secure path.
Choose the correct lane
The file moves toward prior-year preparation, IRS notice review, business tax cleanup, amended return review, or tax debt review.
Approve before action
Scope, pricing, filing steps, response work, and final documents stay reviewed before any final action moves forward.
Trust over hype
No scare tactics. No magic settlement promises.
People with back taxes need a straight answer. Some files are simple prior-year returns. Some need transcripts, notice response, bookkeeping cleanup, or tax debt review.
Current filings matter
Many tax debt paths depend on whether required returns are filed and whether the account history is clear enough to evaluate options.
Records drive the result
Missing income forms, business books, payroll reports, payment records, or prior returns can change the path and the price.
Deadlines come first
IRS and state notices can have response deadlines. The first job is to understand the date, notice type, and risk before choosing action.

Questions people ask before calling
Back tax FAQ.
These are general process answers. Your result depends on records, deadlines, filing history, tax law, and agency processing.
What if I cannot find old W-2s or 1099s?
Do not guess. The next step may involve reconstructing records, requesting transcripts, contacting payers, or using available documents to identify what is missing.
Should I file the newest year first?
It depends. Some files need the oldest missing years mapped first, while urgent notices or current-year compliance may change the sequence.
Can you help if I am self-employed?
Yes. Self-employed back-tax work often needs Schedule C records, 1099 income, business expenses, bank activity, estimated payments, and sometimes bookkeeping cleanup.
Can you help if my business is behind?
Yes. Business files may involve late entity returns, payroll reports, owner compensation, 1099s, books, balance sheet cleanup, and prior-year filing history.
What if I owe more than I can pay?
The first step is organizing missing returns, account history, balances, income, and records. Payment or resolution options cannot be evaluated responsibly until the file is current enough to review.
Do you guarantee an IRS outcome?
No. FINVERA avoids guarantees. We help organize facts, filings, records, notices, and responsible next steps based on the actual file.
