This.
I actually went four years (after a very nasty divorce) with filing no return back around the turn of the century. I ended up paying an extra $900 a month for something like a year and a half when I got it all straightened out. The IRS was always very nice about things. One month I was unable to make the payment and I called them. They just shifted the whole schedule a month and that was it.
If you are nice, they tend to be nice.
I’ve always heard you shouldn’t go yourself. Just send the lawyer.
