IRS Form 8857, Mesa AZ Taxpayer’s Request for Innocent Spouse Relief

You must submit IRS Form 8857 if you are:
  • Seeking Innocent Spouse Relief
  • Separation of Liability Relief
  • Equitable Relief.
Besides filling out the information requested you must include a written statement which is signed under penalties of perjury.  IRS Publication 971 provides complete information regarding all three relief options.  The IRS web site at www.IRS.gov website has information found under Tax Information for Innocent Spouses on this subject.

 

If you live in a community property state and filed as married filing separate rather than married filing joint, you might still qualify for innocent spouse relief.  Community property states are Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Relief from joint and several liability should not be confused with an injured spouse claim.  You are a Mesa Arizona “injured spouse” if you file a joint return and all or part of your share of the refund was, or will be, applied against the separate past-due Federal Tax, state tax, child support, or Federal non-tax debt such as a student loan of your spouse with who you filed the joint return.  This tax remedy requires the filing of IRS Form 8379. Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has the expertise to assist you on your request for innocent spouse relief in or injured spouse relief in Mesa AZ. Schedule an appointment by calling Scott at 480-926-9300.

Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalties from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

The request process is two tiered. The first is to file your Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalties request with IRS Form 843. This form asks for details about you and the tax years in question. The reason for the abatement can be a part of the form or a separate letter attached to the form. Prior to sending in IRS Form 843, you should pay the amount of tax you owe or at least have a payment plan in place. The form gives the address where to mail it to the IRS. Submitting your Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalty request without having a good reason is like rubbing a lamp in your house—there will be no genie with the IRS. You cannot use the excuse that you want Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalties because you didn’t know or understand the tax law. The IRS considers it your responsibility to know the law or use someone who does. The second process is to take your request to the IRS Office of Appeals. The reason still needs to be valid but you might have a more compromising attitude with an Appeals officer.
Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. knows the tax laws and will be able to competently advise you on your reasons for requesting an abatement of IRS penalties in Mesa AZ and the chances for success. Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

Abatement of IRS neglience penalties in Phoenix AZ

IRS Negligence penalties should be taken very seriously.  The IRS will file negligence penalties of 20% of the underpaid tax.  This is often a result of claiming deductions that you were not entitled too or under reported income.  The IRS will have to show that you did not exercise due diligence when you filed your tax return(s).  The IRS will only abate penalties in Phoenix AZ if you can show “reasonable cause” for the way you filed your return.  If the Phoenix AZ IRS negligence penalty was due to not filing a return and you were seriously ill and incapable of filing a return, you have a good chance the IRS will abate negligence penalties as long as you have an excellent record of filing and paying on time in the past.

Before just accepting the IRS negligence penalty in Phoenix AZ and paying it, consider a free initial consultation with Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors.  Tax Debt Advisors has been representing clients with negligence penalties since 1977.  Schedule your appointment by calling 480-926-9300.

10 Proverbs to remember if you need to Solve your IRS Debt in Mesa AZ

Proverbs reflect the accumulated wisdom, prejudices and superstitions of the human race.  Even though they come from many different lands and cultures, the ideas they express are common to all people.  We should at least be familiar with them so that when someone uses one, we will know what they are talking about.

  • Absence makes the heart grow fonder—Persons, places, or things become dearer to us when they are absent.
  • Actions speak louder than words—People are more impressed with our sincerity if we act on our beliefs than if we merely talk about them.
  • All for one and one for all—All the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members are pledged to support the group.  This is best known as the motto for the three musketeers.
  • All that glitters is not gold—Things that appear on the surface to be of great value may be quite worthless.
  • All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy—A person who never takes time off from work becomes boring and bored.
  • All’s fair in love and war—People in love and soldiers in wartime are not bound by the rules of fair play.
  • All’s well that ends well—Problems that occur along the way do not matter as long as the outcome is good.
  • Any port in a storm—In an emergency, we will accept help from any source and in any place, even from an unpleasant person.
  • Army marches on its stomach, An—To be effective, an army relies on good and plentiful food.  This saying is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
  • Bad news travels fast—People are quick to discuss the misfortunes of others.
Why did I bother to share these proverbs with you?  How does this relate to solving your Mesa AZ IRS debt?  I believe that solving and IRS debt in Mesa AZ is more then just filling out forms and making phone calls.  A Mesa AZ IRS debt that needs to be solved occurs because something non related becomes such a big burden that the last things a taxpayers wants to face is paying the IRS or filing a tax return.  Once we can help our clients discover what that is then we can begin to successfully solve their Mesa AZ IRS debt and not have it reoccur again.  The favorite part of my job is seeing the relief in my clients eyes and the smile on their face when we have accomplished the victory.  To learn more about solving your IRS debt in Mesa AZ visit the main part of my website or feel free to give me a call to schedule a free initial consultation.

Phoenix AZ’s Tax Debt Advisors answers: Can I discharge IRS taxes in bankruptcy?

Can I discharge IRS taxes in a Bankruptcy and if I live in the Phoenix Arizona area?  This is the question many if not most people don’t know the answer to.

Yes, IRS (and Arizona) taxes can be discharged in tax bankruptcy?  If you have filed your tax returns and it is three years from the due date including extensions and the returns have been assessed for two years and it has been at least 240 since any adjustments, then taxes on your individual returns are dischargeable. There cannot be any fraud on your tax filings and you must qualify to file a bankruptcy.  Payroll taxes and sales taxes cannot be discharged in a Phoenix AZ IRS tax bankruptcy. Some actions such as filing an IRS Offer in Compromise or a Collection Due Process hearing will delay the timing of filing a bankruptcy.

Scott Allen E.A. near Phoenix AZ can compare your option to discharge IRS taxes in a bankruptcy with other IRS settlement options.  There are financial consequences by filing a bankruptcy that should be considered beforehand.  Call 480-926-9300 to schedule a free initial consultation.

IRS Audit Myth Number 5: By Tax Debt Advisors in Chandler AZ

If I get my refund, does that mean I will not be audited?—no, it just means that the computer system is working to mail off a check to you.  But if you are selected for a Chandler AZ IRS audit, the notice will likely come 12 to 24 months later with all the interest and penalties to be added if you filed an erroneous return.  The IRS will not hold up paying you your refund just because you have been also selected for an audit.

Rather than file and hope.  File and relax.  Use a Chandler AZ professional tax preparer that will maximize your tax deductions and weather the storm of an IRS audit in Chandler AZ if you are selected.  Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors has the expertise to file your tax returns and stand by your side if you are audited by the IRS in Chandler AZ.  If you are considering a new Chandler AZ tax preparer or just need to use one because your financial status has become more complex, Tax Debt Advisors offers a free consultation and can be reached for an appointment at 480-926-9300.

Idioms to Remember if you need to STOP an IRS Levy in Mesa AZ

An idiom is an expression that in and of itself makes no sense when translated into another language.  Knowing the literal meaning of idioms does not enable you to understand them unless you also know what they allude to. I have listed below the most important idioms that everyone should know if you have a serious IRS problem involving stopping a Mesa AZ IRS levy.  It is important to understand how they apply to your situation.

  • Cold feet—To “have cold feet” is to be too fearful to undertake or complete an action.
  • Cold shoulder, The—To “give someone the cold shoulder” is to ignore someone deliberately.
  • Cold Turkey—To “go cold turkey” is to withdraw suddenly and completely from an addictive substance or some other form of dependency.
  • Come full circle—When something “comes full circle,” it completes a cycle and returns to its beginnings.
  • Coup de grace—The final blow.  The phrase is French for “stroke of mercy.”  It originally referred to the merciful stroke that put a fatally wounded person out of his misery or to the shot delivered to the head of a prisoner after he had faced a firing squad.
  • Crème de la crème—The best of the best.  From French meaning, “cream of the cream.”
  • Déjà vu—The strange sensation that something one is now experiencing has happened before.  From French meaning, “already seen.”
  • Dog-eat-dog—Ruthlessly competitive.
  • Eat crow—To suffer a humiliating experience.

There is more then one way in stopping a Mesa AZ IRS levy.  It is important to make a plan of attack for your specific circumstances to be sure to stop the Mesa IRS levy or garnishment as soon as possible.  Many times is can be accomplished within a day or two of first contact with the IRS.  Many occasions we can get the IRS to give a partial or temporary stop to an IRS levy in Mesa AZ with commitments to get accomplished as is needed (i.e. unfiled tax returns, disclose financial information) to make it a permanent stop to the Mesa AZ IRS levy.

There are several ways to resolve an IRS debt.  Each negotiated option has pros and cons—something good about it as wells as something not so good.  However, one is always better and stands out from the rest for your particular financial situation.  That is why Tax Debt Advisors, Inc should be your choice when confronted with a serious Arizona IRS problem.
