Best Answer

If you don't file your tax return when you're required to file, the IRS contacts you with a letter titled Proposed Individual Tax Assessment. The letter notifies you that the IRS has no record of your filing a tax return. The letter includes a balance due of tax owed plus penalties and interest based on income reported to the IRS by your employers, financial institutions, etc.

The letter gives you the choice of three responses.

One, file your tax return.

Two, consent to the proposed assessment.

Three, state why you believe that you're not required to file a return.

For more information go to www.irs.gov for the article, 'Understanding your notices regarading past due filing', and related articles.
