Tax Debt Advisors—How does an IRS tax lien affect my credit score?

You will notice your credit score nosedive significantly once the IRS files a tax lien against you in Scottsdale AZ.  It is much easier to prevent a tax lien than getting one removed after the fact.  Also, once a tax lien is filed your credit will be damaged even if the IRS releases your tax lien.  If you are seeking a loan and you have a Scottsdale AZ certificate of IRS lien release, most banks will give you a loan but you may still have to pay a higher interest rate simply because the lien was filed in the first place.

Once a lien has been filed, your only real option is to take the matter to the IRS Office of Appeals.  The first question the Appeals Office will ask you is why you didn’t you file an appeal before the tax lien was filed.  And you better have a good reason.  Ignoring IRS notices until you want something is not the best way to win friends and influence people at the IRS.

Some IRS options will either eliminate the tax lien (Offer in Compromise), or eliminate the tax debt and possibly the tax lien (Chapter 7 Bankruptcy).  Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors has the expertise to minimize the negatives of having an IRS problem.  He is available for a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.

Tax Debt Advisors—Do I qualify for Tempe AZ Innocent Spouse Relief?

Most Tempe AZ taxpayers who are married file jointly to get many tax benefits denied to married filing separate returns.  Both taxpayers who file jointly are liable for the tax debt including any interest or penalties—jointly and severally even if they later divorce.  Joint and several liability means that each taxpayer is liable for the entire debt.  This is true even if one spouse earned all of the income or claimed improper deductions and credits.  Even if a divorce decree states that a former spouse is responsible for any taxes due on joint returns previously filed, the IRS will come after both spouses for the entire amount.

There are three types of relief from joint and several liability:

  • Innocent Spouse Relief—will protect you from the additional tax over and above what you owed on your originally filed return, from under reported income or improper deductions and credits taken on original return.
  • Separation of Liability Relief—allocates the additional tax owed between your and a former spouse that was not reported on your originally filed joint return.  The allocated amount is what you are responsible for.
  • Equitable Relief—may apply when you do not qualify for innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief for an improperly filed joint return which is attributable to your spouse.

You must apply for Tempe AZ innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief not later than 2 years after the date the IRS first attempted to collect the tax from you.  For equitable relief, you must apply for relief during the statute of limitation period the IRS has to collect the tax.

If you are seeking a free initial consultation for these types of relief from taxes owed, contact Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors.  Schedule your appointment by calling 480-926-9300.

Call Scott Allen E.A. to do your Tempe AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

On May 21, 2012, the IRS came out with another option to its “Fresh Start” initiative called the Offer in Compromise (OIC) program.  The purpose of this program is to give taxpayers that have little or no hope of catching up on past taxes, eliminate their IRS problem by paying a fraction owed and staying in compliance afterwards.

Changes were made to the calculations to determine a taxpayer’s future income, allowing taxpayers the ability to pay back their student loans, delinquent state taxes and allowing more living expenses.  All of these changes reduce the amount the IRS will expect to be paid to eliminate your tax liability.  During the last five years, 258,000 offers were submitted and only 68,000 accepted.  That’s only about 1 in 4.  Most of the problems were errors in calculating the amount of the offer and maintaining constant communication with the IRS personnel assigned to your case.

The IRS estimates that these revisions will result in a 75% reduction in the amount of the OIC paid back within 5 months and a 60% reduction if paid back within 2 years.  Scott Allen E.A. near Tempe AZ has the expertise to advise, file and get acceptance of your Offer in Compromise.  He offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.

Call Scott Allen E.A. of Arizona if you are contacted by the IRS Automated Collection System (ACS)

Always remember that the IRS is a debt collection agency—there is no service if you are contacted by the Automated Collection Service or ACS.  When the IRS wants what is “theirs” (the IRS), you will either be contacted by a local Revenue Officer in Arizona, or the Automated Collection System.  Take ACS very seriously, since they have the authority to set up payment plans, issue levies against bank accounts and wages and initiate tax liens.

Dealing with ACS can be frustrating to say the least.  You can be put on hold for long periods of time, always getting a different person every time you call, not being knowledgeable of tax laws for settlements and just following a computer prompting regardless of what you actually need.  There are many other deficiencies with ACS and that is why I recommend you to get a free consultation with Scott Allen E.A. in Arizona before you talk to them.  Scott will make available beforehand all your options and he will negotiate with ACS on your behalf.  Scott can be reached for an appointment at 480-926-9300.  Let him make that day a great day for you!
