Once you have located your state, find their mailing address, and follow the steps provided below:
Step 1: Gather your tax documents- you will need the W-2s or 1099 forms you received for those tax years to report your income. If they don't have that information, continue to step 2 ?
Step 2: Request Missing Documentation- If you are missing any of
your tax documents from the last 10 years, you can request a copy from
the IRS by filing Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return. Use
this form only to request W-2s, 1099s and even 1098s that may provide
support for some of your deductions.
Step 3: Download Prior Years IRS tax forms- You must always file your
back tax returns on the original forms for each tax year you are filing.
You can always search through the IRS website for the forms, but for
quicker access, you should use sophisticated tax preparation software,
such as TurboTax.
Step 4: Prepare your back tax returns- You cannot complete prior
year tax forms using instructions from the current tax year. When you
have all your documents in front of you and you are ready to start
inputting your data, double check to make sure that the instructions you
are using are for the same tax year as the tax return you are
preparing. Tax laws change every year, so you must follow the guidelines for the Tax Year you are trying to file.
Step 5: Submit your forms- Submit the forms to the IRS
at the address listed in the Form 1040 instructions. If you owe
additional income tax for any of the prior years, remember to include as
large of a payment as you can to reduce your interest charges. Monthly interest still accrues indefinitely until the tax is paid. Once
the IRS receives your tax returns, you should expect to receive notice
of the exact penalty and interest charges you are responsible for.
In Conclusion: Once you have gathered this information, mail all the documents into the State Department of Revenue for the individuals state. BE ADVISED- this could take up to 45 days to process, however it is most accurate way of making sure old state taxes are filed correctly and you get any/all refunds you are entitled to.
