While U.S. credit card debt and student loans tend to garner publicity, back tax assistance continues to be a massive problem that is overlooked.
Although the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collects more than $3 trillion annually in taxes, penalties, interest and fees, approximately 16.4% of all federal taxes owed go unpaid.
That may not sound like a high percentage. But it equates to $441 billion in lost revenue for the IRS. The IRS calls this the “average gross tax gap.” Factoring in late payments and successful collection efforts, the net tax gap, or total back taxes owed, drops to $381 billion.
So, who owes all these taxes? Our latest State by State Tax Debt Industry Report reveals some eye-opening truths.
Taxpayers aged 51-65 are more likely to carry tax debt than any other age group (48%), and taxpayers age 65 and over represent 26% of cases.
Back taxes are not just a problem for lower income taxpayers; it affects all income groups. Sixty-five percent of cases involve households with income less than $75,000 per year, but 34% of cases are for those households with more than $75,000 in income, and 8% are households who take in greater than $125,000.
Professional or technical workers carry back taxes more frequently than any other type of worker (15%). Job titles in this category include: pilot, undertaker, analyst, consultant, doctor, professional, programmer, software engineer, tech and technician.
Back Taxes Based on Profession
Analyzing back taxes by profession reveals a suggested correlation with income level, education level and the likelihood of having unpaid back taxes. Nurses, skilled tradespeople and retired folks fall just behind professionals and technical workers, with 12% of these populations each owing back taxes.
Eleven percent of upper management or executives carry tax back taxes, while only 4% of self-employed individuals do. Because tax filings can be more complicated for those who file as self-employed or 1099 contractors, one might expect more back taxes. But that’s not the case. Similarly, real estate professionals are not typically W-2 employees, but only 3% of that demographic carry outstanding back taxes.
Back Taxes Based on Income Levels
It’s important to note that those who earn the least based on our study – independent of education levels or profession – are more likely to owe taxes. The data collected reflects 2019 statistics, with updated tax brackets in effect designed to benefit lower income taxpayers.
Based on IRS tax brackets, only those making less than $9,700 annually fall into the lowest (10%) tax bracket. Those making between $39,476 and $84,999 fall into the third bracket with a 22% tax rate – a big jump from the 12% those making more than $9,700 but less than $39,746 would pay.
With these tax brackets in place since 2018, lower income individuals who fall into the 22% bracket might have back taxes they can’t pay. The second income group, $40,000 to $74,999, isn’t far behind. Thirty-two percent of these taxpayers carry back taxes.
In spite of their higher tax bracket, which could result in larger tax bills, only 8% of those making $125,000 or more owe unpaid back taxes.
How Much Do Taxpayers Owe?
Just how much back taxes do people across the U.S. have?
More than one-third carry less than $7,499 in back taxes. Some back tax assistance firms only work with people who owe more than $10,000 in unpaid taxes, which may leave individuals with smaller amounts of owed amounts on their own to find a solution. Fortunately, the IRS is likely to accept a payment plan for smaller amounts of back taxes.
A majority (55%) owe more than $10,000 in taxes, with 28% owing between $10,000 and $19,999. Just 5% owe more than $1 million. back tax assistance companies can help these folks negotiate an offer in compromise or installment agreement with the IRS.

The Findings
Above all else, the report shows that back taxes spans every profession, generation and income bracket. The reasons people accrue back taxes vary widely.
Those in lower income brackets may not be able to afford professional help from tax accountants to reduce their tax burden. Those in the middle class may find themselves in a higher tax bracket and be unable to pay their back taxes. Retired folks who don’t have withholding taxes from their paycheck may not understand how to reduce their tax liability.
3 Steps You Can Take To Resolve Your Back Taxes
Do you fall into one of the categories of workers with unpaid back taxes? If you’re facing unpaid back taxes, this report shows you’re not alone. Back taxes is a nationwide problem that causes stress and financial hardship. Once you face the problem, you can find help paying off your obligation to avoid tax liens or wage garnishment.
If you don’t seek to resolve your back taxes, the IRS can seize your assets or garnish your wages. It’s important to take action right away, as interest and fees will only continue to accrue. Here are three steps you can take to resolve your back taxes.
Get up to date on your tax filings.
If you failed to file taxes in recent years, the IRS won’t accept any offers to settle outstanding back taxes. Seek professional help to file any outstanding tax returns and to find out where you stand with back taxes. Then you can begin exploring your options for repayment or a tax settlement.
Get professional help.
Often, it pays to seek the advice of a professional back tax assistance company to assist in your negotiations with the IRS. Understand that solutions exist and asking for help can put you on a brighter financial path for the future.
Propose an installment agreement or partial-pay installment agreement
Stop collections action
Get fees and penalties waived
Stick to the terms of your agreement.
If you owe less than $25,000 in back taxes and fulfill other requirements, the IRS may accept an installment agreement. Make sure you have money in your bank account to cover the monthly automatic payments debited by the IRS.
As you make your on-time payments, you can become obligation free in 72 months or sooner.
The Methodology
This report was developed by Solvable in collaboration with GoBankingRates. The dataset comprised 21,404 unique cases of back taxes from Solvable. The back taxes cases reflect a date range from January 1, 2019, through January 31, 2020.
The total national back taxes figure of $441 billion is data provided by the IRS. There is no exact report on cumulative back taxes from state-based taxes. Solvable conservatively estimates that figure to be roughly around $146 billion. This estimate was found by extrapolating California’s reported 2018 tax gap figure that was between $20-$25 billion to the rest of the U.S. Adding the estimated state-level tax gap to the net federal tax gap of $381 billion makes a total estimated tax gap of $527 billion.

Solvable is not a creditor as it does not offer, extend or alter credit; rather it is an online market lead generator that allows consumers to shop and compare rates, terms and costs associated with financial products such as mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, student loans, etc. solvable does not originate or fund any product it markets; rather it has a network of lenders or Partners/affiliates. You may choose to speak with one or more of these lenders or Partners/affiliates to determine what your actual terms and savings may be. Only a lender can provide you with a formal application for credit, your inquiry form here is merely an expression of interest and/or intent to obtain credit or assistance. You must discuss your actual credit situation and fill out the lender’s required documents prior to obtaining an extension of credit. Network lenders may not have the best or the lowest rates so you are encouraged to continue to shop and compare additional lenders, credit unions, local financial institutions, etc. to ensure you are truly getting your best deal for your situation.
You should contact your tax professional or other financial advisor to determine if you can actually realize savings by refinancing when it can extend the life of your current loan. You should ask the lender about all terms, rates, fees and costs associated with each product and if you will realize a net tangible benefit from the same. All initial estimated savings is done by trying to calculate what your rate may be; however, solvable does not have that information and cannot guarantee potential savings or that lenders will approve you for such product that would warrant those savings. Rates are not guaranteed and change daily. Lenders/Brokers/Dealers/Partners that perform the actual underwriting will have to determine if you meet their underwriting criteria which is unknown to solvable at the time of matching/offer/quote delivery. All amounts are estimates and examples only and do not represent an actual offer.
