Did the IRS File a Tax Return for You? We Can Fix It and Cut Your Bill Fast.

If you haven’t filed your tax returns, the IRS may file a Substitute for Return (SFR) on your behalf using only the limited information it has, such as W-2s and 1099s. The problem? These returns don’t include your deductions, credits, or expenses which means you’ll likely owe far more than you should.

At America Tax Group, we help you take back control by replacing those IRS-prepared returns with accurate, complete filings that reflect your true financial picture. Our licensed Enrolled Agents and tax attorneys handle the entire process from retrieving your transcripts to negotiating any balance due.

We correct the record, reduce your liability, and restore your compliance quickly and legally.

Fast Relief Options

An IRS Substitute for Return can result in inflated tax bills, penalties, and even enforcement actions—but the sooner you act, the easier it is to fix:

  • Retrieve IRS transcripts to see exactly what income and years were used in the SFR
  • Rebuild missing income and deduction records using verified data
  • Prepare and file accurate returns that replace the IRS’s estimate
  • Request a balance reduction or set up a payment resolution (Installment Agreement or Offer in Compromise)
  • Stop IRS collections or wage garnishments triggered by the SFR

You’ll receive step-by-step updates, clear explanations, and real progress without the confusion or stress of dealing with the IRS alone.

Prevent Future Tax Problems

Once your corrected returns are filed, it’s important to stay compliant and avoid future SFRs. We’ll help you:

  • File every year on time, even if you can’t pay right away
  • Use e-file systems or professional filing reminders
  • Organize records year-round for accurate deductions and proof of income
  • Set up estimated payments if you’re self-employed or have irregular income

Consistent filing prevents the IRS from stepping in again—keeping you compliant, penalty-free, and in control.
