Behind on Personal Tax Returns?
Whether one year or several years are unfiled, start by identifying the missing returns and gathering the records for each year. Scott Accounting & Tax Firm helps individuals review prior-year federal and state filings and organize a practical catch-up plan.
We ask which years may be missing, where you lived or earned income, whether you had wages or self-employment income, and whether you received a notice. A filing-history review and records checklist help us define the work before preparing returns.
If you had a small business, rental property, rideshare income, or income in more than one state, the records needed may differ by year. Business entity returns, payroll returns, and sales tax filings may require separate work.
We confirm the scope and professional fee after reviewing your situation. We cannot promise a particular tax balance, refund, penalty result, or agency outcome.

Common questions
Questions about prior-year returns.
Your specific filing obligations depend on the facts and years involved.
I do not know which years are missing. Where do I start?
Tell us the years you are unsure about and provide any IRS or state letters. We review the filing history and available records before confirming which returns need work.
Can you help if my W-2 or 1099 is missing?
We can identify records to request and review available wage, income, bank, or business records. Some documents may need to come from the employer, payer, or tax agency.
Should I ignore a notice while I gather records?
No. Keep every page and note the response date. Submitting an inquiry to our firm does not extend an agency deadline.
Can I work with you virtually?
Yes. We serve clients virtually nationwide and offer in-person service at our Bridgeport, Connecticut office. We provide secure instructions for tax documents after reviewing your inquiry.
Start without sending tax documents
