| How do I file a tax return for a prior year? |
|
A reader asks: How do I know if I filed my tax return for 1999? And, if I haven't filed, how do I go about doing that now? My answer: Easy: contact the IRS and ask them. This page has information on how to request records of previous filings.As to how to file late, it's much the same process as filing on time. (This page has copies of tax forms from prior years.) I'd suggest getting it done sooner rather than later, by the way. If you owe money for tax year 1999, interest and penalties are still accumulating. The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be.
