“You haven’t filed your federal income tax return for this year or previous years. Regardless of your reason for not filing a required return, file your tax return as soon as possible. If you need help, check our website. We have many tools and resources available, such as the Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA)FAQs, and Tax Trails.

If you’re not sure whether you’re required to file a return, visit Do I Need to File a Tax Return or refer to Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax for Individuals. If you’re required to file and owe a balance, but you can’t pay all of the tax due on your return, the IRS may be able to help you establish a payment agreement. For additional information on tax payment options, refer to Topic No. 202.”

Needing a tax transcript?

Do you need a tax transcript from the previous year? You might need one for a college student, or to help with preparing this year’s income tax return.

“It’s always a good idea to keep copies of previously-filed tax returns. That recommendation is more important this year because, for some taxpayers, certain data from the 2017 tax return – the adjusted gross income — will be required to validate their electronic signature on their 2018 tax return due April 15 for most filers. This is especially true for taxpayers who have switched tax software products this year.”
