Understanding Back Taxes
Back taxes refer to unpaid taxes that were not settled by their due date. This situation can arise from various circumstances, such as failing to file tax returns, undergoing an IRS audit that determines additional tax is due, or simply not being able to pay the owed amount on time. Ignoring back taxes can lead to severe consequences including penalties, interest, liens, and even wage garnishments.
