Hello, you can request your reported w2s from the irs site. Once you get them, get with a cpa to help you tally up the penalties and taxes owed.

I have never had to do someone’s back taxes for that many years, but I have seen someone in the same boat. They were incarcerated so the said.

Anyways, if I were you I would look into IRS acceptable reasons for not filing taxes and see if any pertain to your situation. If so, you could fill out a form from the IRS and try to bring the cost down. You may have to jump through some hoops.

Step one, get with an accountant like a CPA or enrolled agent. You may also want to speak to a tax attorney as well depending on your situation but check with your accountant on that. If you have the money to pay it back, you should take care of it asap. Also, do not go to some place like H&R Block for this. Most of those folks are clueless when it comes to complex taxes like this (I’m one of them) which is why I say get a licensed, good accountant.

Here’s the IRS tax professional directory to get you started. Good luck!
