However, efile.com provides you easy access to all the respective federal income tax year forms and the associated tax year tax calculators.

If You Owe Back Taxes

If you expect to owe taxes for one or multiple previous tax years and you have not filed nor paid the taxes due, you will most likely be subject to late filing and late payment penalties. eFile.com recommends you take the following steps as soon as possible:

Step 1: Download the respective Tax Forms for the Tax Year in Question.

Step 2: Use the Tax Calculator and Tools for the respective Tax Year.

Step 3: Complete the Income Tax Forms and Mail Them to the IRS and/or State Tax Agency.

Step 4: Even if you can't pay your taxes, follow the steps above and pay as little or as much as you can afford. That way, you will at least stop the late filing penalties, which in general are higher than the late payment penalties.

If You Expect A Tax Refund

If you expect a tax refund for one or more previous tax years and you have not filed an IRS or state income tax return, you will most likely not be subject to late filing and certainly not for late payment penalties. However, you only have three years after the subject tax year to claim your tax refund. After the three years, you tax refund will unfortunately expire and you can no longer claim your hard earned money back from the IRS. For example, after April 15, 2023, you will no longer be able to claim your 2019 IRS tax refund. Most states follow these or similar tax refund expiration rules and dates.
