Went through a divorce, couldn’t file my 2022 tax till now.
now I am ready to file, found out I will own about $5000 in taxes. I have to print and mail my tax every year due to QBI and some stuff.
my tax is high risk for audit - have several businesses and income is over 0.5 million.
So when I mail in my 2022 return , should I attached a letter at the front, saying some thing like “dear irs personal…sorry to just file 2022 tax now..we were late since we were struggling with a divorce and did t have the time or energy to file…blah…”
do you think such letter will get some empathy and reduce the risk of auditing?
