Failure to file tax returns
.........................
Did you forget to file past years tax returns?  This is a very common problem that is easily fixed.  

Many people are afraid to file past due returns out of fear that the IRS will take action against them.

The truth is the IRS is more interested in getting taxpayers to file delinquent returns than in imposing harsh penalties on them for late filing.  Any late filing penalties can be minimized by filing past due returns as soon as possible.
