What is the name of your state? California
Hello:
A friend of mine, now in his late 20s, worked as a subcontractor for many years. He got paid mostly with company checks which he deposited in his bank account. Now he confessed to me that he never filed a tax return in his whole life, saying he was always afraid that if he started filing all of a sudde, the IRS would ask for back taxes for all the years before. Simple question therefore:
If he started filing now for 2002 (which I strongly suggested), should he at the same time file for previous years and, if so, for how many? I understand that there's no statute of limitations for tax dept but can or will/would the IRS expect him to file for 3, 5, 10, or even more years backward?
