The IRS substitute for return process happens when a taxpayer fails to file their tax return. The IRS will use information from third parties to estimate the taxpayer's tax liability and file a return on their behalf. This can result in the taxpayer owing more in taxes due to the lack of deductions and credits that would have been available if they had filed their own return.

Will you get a refund if you have unfiled taxes?
It depends on whether the IRS is actively seeking for your unfiled returns to be filed. If the IRS does not have a reason to believe that you were required to file a return, then you will probably get your refund without any problems. However, if the IRS shows that you are missing some past year tax returns, and they have enough income reported to you that leads them to believe that you should have filed a return, they may hold your refund until you can get it filed. The IRS is also authorized to prepare a return for you if you fail to do so yourself. This is known as a 6020(b) return, or a "Substitute for Return". The IRS may have already done one of these based upon the income that was reported to you, and typically their estimates of what you would have owed are much higher than it would have been if you had filed the return yourself. If the IRS has done this, then they may already think that you owe them money on that Substitute for Return -- if that has happened, they will keep your refund and apply it towards your debt. If the IRS has done a Substitute for Return, you can still file your own return and provide the correct numbers by going through a "SFR Reconsideration" process. The IRS can take 4-6 months to process the actual return, though, so this could again delay your refund until they sort it all out.
