How to Find Information on Back Taxes

Finding information on your back taxes or taxes owed is not a difficult task and there are a few methods to doing so.

Owing money to the Internal Revenue Service is a problem that you don't want to let linger. In fact, when you resolve back-tax issues you prevent additional headaches such as property liens or paycheck reductions. So whether you have to make back-tax payments or simply want to obtain your personal records on back taxes, there are some simple ways of doing so.

Instructions

1. Collect your W-2 income tax form from your employer or the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS has two numbers for back tax forms. For businesses, it's [phone]. For individuals, it's [phone].

2. Give the IRS representative specific dates for which you need income-tax information. Provide information about the employer as well.

3. Consider hiring a tax attorney or certified public accountant. These professionals can help solve back-tax issues by negotiating payments. Even if you are overwhelmed by the thought of canceling your entire debt in one payment, you can still take action. The IRS offers payment plans.
