Hi @Brookesmomma
Lets Break down your questions:
If we need to know what the IRS has showing for back taxes that have not yet been filed should he get a lawyer to do that?
If you owe back taxes you can go to IRS.gov and pull a transcript from them. It will show filings and taxes owed as long as a return has been filed for the years.
We heard it triggers the IRS to audit you?
A lot of things can trigger an audit, but as long as you are taking care of the returns and filing accurate returns, there is nothing to worry about. Audits are common and not as scary as most people think.
Also how far back does he have to file his taxes?
All tax returns where taxes are owed need to be filed, if a refund was due, you have 3 years to claim it. You can file up to 3 years using TurboTax. If you need to file for more then the 3 previous years, you will need to seek a local professional who might be able to file for the last 10 years for you.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax!
