Unfiled tax returns can turn into a serious problem — fast. Whether it’s one year or several, the IRS and North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR) won’t forget. Penalties, interest, and collection actions can pile up, making it harder to get back in compliance. At Polaris Tax & Accounting, we specialize in helping Lake Norman residents and business owners resolve years of unfiled returns, stop IRS and state tax enforcement, and create a clean slate for the future.

Why Ignoring Unfiled Taxes is Risky
If you haven’t filed in years, here’s what you could be facing:

  • IRS and NCDOR substitute returns that overstate what you owe

  • Tax liens on your property or assets

  • Bank account levies or wage garnishments

  • Loss of refunds — you generally have only 3 years to claim them

  • Higher penalties and interest every month you delay

The sooner you take action, the more options you’ll have to reduce or eliminate these problems.

Our Process for Resolving Back Taxes
We take a methodical, proven approach to bring your filings up to date and protect you from further damage:

  1. Transcript & Record Review – We pull your IRS and NCDOR records to see exactly what’s missing and what’s been assessed.

  2. Penalty & Interest Analysis – We identify potential penalty abatement opportunities to reduce your balance.

  3. Accurate Return Preparation – We prepare and file all missing returns, ensuring all eligible deductions and credits are claimed.

  4. Negotiation & Resolution – If you owe, we negotiate with tax agencies for payment plans, settlements, or currently-not-collectible status.

  5. Ongoing Compliance – We help you set up bookkeeping, accounting, and tax monitoring to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
