Can you find out if someone owes back taxes?

There are a couple of things you want to find out if you owe back taxes. One is that you can wait until you have been notified by the IRS (because they WILL notify you once they find it).

You can contact the IRS directly if you feel that you owe taxes and work with them on it. Although, it may not be wise to alert them to your tax returns if you feel that you have paid what you owe.

You can wait to see if they keep your tax refund and send you a notice stating that you owe back taxes.

You can also take your tax documents to a CPA or a tax attorney to have them review your returns and verify taxes are or are not owed. It may be less expensive in the long run to do this because the longer you wait to pay the owed taxes, the more fees and interest accrue, therefore increasing the amount you owe. There are several companies out there that offer help with back taxes. If you owe more than $10K in taxes, then contact a tax attorney to help with possibly reducing fees and interest. To find a local tax attorney, you can call 877-925-8851 and they can help you decide what would be the best course of action for you.
