Many people have problems with back taxes — owing money to the IRS and to state and local taxing authorities. And there is help for that problem. A back tax problem can start with something simple such as incorrectly filling out your tax return or withholding form with your employer. Or, your back tax problem could have started because you chose to ignore a W2G from a casino or a 1099 from a side hustle. Regardless of how it happened, the IRS can always identify your back tax problem and will try to collect.
