Hi Maria – If you’re exempt there should be no problem, as long as you were also exempt in all 6 of those years.

Hi John – They do pay interest on overdue refunds – 4% per year was the latest figure I heard. I do believe that there’s a limit on how far back you can go with a refund – three years I believe. But check with a tax preparer.

What if one is exempt all year but has not filed for over 6 years

Hi Deanna – There’s no way to know without seeing your income numbers. Sit down with a tax preparer and see what they recommend. Be sure to bring all of your income documentation with you.

Hi Katrina – My advice is to meet with a tax preparer and discuss your options. Since your husband hasn’t filed in 5-6 years, this can become very involved. Most likely, you’ll be advised to file as “married filing separately” if you believe that you will get a refund.

Hi Velma – You can still file separately, but you’ll have to file as “married filing separately”. You won’t be able to file as head of household however. If your tax preparer has advised you to file that way, it’s probably because it will result in a lower tax liability than married filing jointly.

Hi Heather – Filing an amended tax return for 2015 would be the cleanest and most conclusive way to put an end to it. Also, if she had withholding on the missing W2, she might be entitled to a refund.

I have the same mind of question I haven’t files for a few years but also have.not worked only receive calworks and child support at the moment to I have to file I never new if I had to or not
