Tax Cleanup Questions Answered
Real questions from Utah business owners facing tax problems
How much does it cost to clean up multiple years of unfiled Utah tax returns?
Utah tax cleanup projects vary in cost depending on complexity and years involved. Compare this to IRS penalties that often reach substantial amounts for multi-year cases. We provide fixed-fee quotes upfront, so you know exactly what cleanup will cost.
Can you help if I'm missing receipts and financial records?
Yes, we specialize in reconstructing financial records from bank statements, credit card records, and any documents you have. Even with limited records, we can usually rebuild enough documentation to file accurate returns and defend against IRS challenges.
What happens if the IRS has already filed substitute returns for me?
IRS substitute returns never include business deductions or personal deductions, so they typically show much higher tax owed than reality. We file corrected returns that include all legitimate deductions, often significantly reducing the tax owed.
How long does the tax cleanup process take for Utah businesses?
Most tax cleanup projects take several weeks depending on record availability and IRS response times. Emergency cases (like business closure threats) can be expedited. We provide timeline estimates during the initial consultation.
Do you handle Utah state tax problems along with federal issues?
Absolutely. Utah state tax commission often follows IRS actions, so we coordinate both federal and state cleanup simultaneously. This prevents double penalties and ensures consistent treatment across both agencies.
