Call Tax Debt Advisors in Mesa AZ to get IRS Auditors to Listen to You

IRS Auditors in Mesa AZ

If you are successful in getting Mesa AZ IRS auditors to listen, you have a much greater chance of having successful results.  Remember to the following suggestions:

  • Do whatever you can to not postpone your first appointment.  If necessary suggest you get together sooner if it is impossible to meet at the suggested time.  Almost always the IRS auditor will not be able to meet with you sooner and allow you to have a postponement without it damaging the auditor’s impression of you.
  • Hire a professional to represent you at the audit.  Taxpayers almost always talk more than they have to and this just opens the door to more scrutiny from the IRS auditor.
  • If you don’t know the answer to an auditor’s question, simply say, “I don’t know.  I will get back with the answer.  When do you need that information?”  It is much easier for a representative to say they don’t know the answers to areas that could cost you lots of money if not handled correctly.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. is skilled at working on your behalf with IRS auditors in Mesa AZ.  Scott offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Scott Allen E.A. will make sure the IRS auditor listens to your side of the issues in question.

Gilbert AZ IRS Audit

  • When you have answered an Auditors question—shut up.  Auditors know that taxpayers are uncomfortable with “silence.”  Remember the one who talks first after you have answered the question LOSES.  That may sound a bit blunt to put it in these words but it is critical to a successful Gilbert AZ IRS audit.
  • Remember the Auditor is not your friend.  They are aggressive bill collectors no matter how friendly they may sound in your meeting.  When you get the bill from the auditor you will realize that they are masters at making you feel they are on your side.
  • Never miss an appointment and respond promptly if you cannot meet a deadline.
  • Never get mad or angry.  They IRS auditor will usually stop asking questions at that point and assume you are not cooperating and deny deductions or expenses that you are entitled too.
  • Don’t be too anxious to pay the bill.  You have rights to Appeal the IRS audit assessment.  Almost never go to Appeals alone.  You need a professional to make sure you don’t fail a second time.

Tempe’s Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. will get you thru your IRS Audit Reconsideration

IRS Audit Reconsideration Tempe AZ

It is not uncommon for clients to not show up to their scheduled IRS audit Tempe AZ.  An audit is like being scheduled to have a surgery without your request—it’s scary.  But when the IRS agent sends you the results of the audit, the real shock begins.  Everything is denied as a deduction on your return and/or expenses taken on your business return.  The agent knows that this is unrealistic but their procedure is to deny everything if you don’t show up.

If you want to get your tax liability reduced, the IRS will allow that through the Tempe AZ IRS audit reconsideration process.  This is not a quick or easy effort.  The IRS will eventually review your support for your deductions but in the mean time you need to get into some IRS settlement option.  Most often an Installment Arrangement.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has the ability to advise you on the Tempe AZ IRS Audit Reconsideration procedures.  Remember that you will have to have patience waiting for the IRS to respond.  If you want to reduce your tax liability, contact Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300.

Arizona’s Tax Debt Advisors provides Successful IRS Audit Representation

Mesa Arizona IRS Audit Representation

It is almost inevitable that sometime your individual return or small business return will be audited by the IRS.  It doesn’t matter how careful or legitimate your return is prepared; the IRS computers can select you for a Mesa AZ audit.  The IRS will issue an audit notice within three years of your filing so it is important to keep your records at least three years.  If the IRS can prove that you have under-reported income by 25% or more the IRS has more time in which to audit past returns.

Select a competent Mesa Arizona tax representative that will attend the audit with or without your presence.  You will have to give your representative an IRS power of attorney to represent you.  The initial audit will usually result in what you expect but not always.  Taxpayers can take their case to IRS Appeals where there is more latitude on what the IRS will or will not accept what was claimed on your return.

This summary cannot advise you of what you need to do to prepare for a successful audit in Mesa AZ.  Contact Scott Allen E.A. for a free initial in office consultation.  During your appointment you can decide if you want representation with the audit or with the Appeals office.  Scott will not take you case unless it is in your best interest.  Call 480-926-9300 to schedule your appointment.

Arizona’s Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.—Is IRS Penalty Abatement Possible?

IRS penalty abatement almost always requires professional assistance.  Scott Allen E.A. near Scottsdale AZ will evaluate your chances of success.  Call Scott today at 480-926-9300 to schedule a free initial, in office, appointment

Tax Debt Advisors in Mesa AZ can negotiate your IRS payment plan

Mesa AZ IRS Payment Plan

The IRS has powerful tools to collect taxes owed.  They include:

  • Not paying you a tax refund on your tax return
  • Levying your wages
  • Garnishing your bank accounts
  • Filing a tax lien
  • Seizing  assets

However the tax laws allow you to avoid the trauma of each of these collection nightmares.  But you must be willing to follow through on the advice you receive from a competent Mesa AZ tax advisor.  Some of the requirements include filing all of your back tax returns, even if you don’t owe.  Remember that refunds older than three years will be forfeited and not applied against your tax debt.

Often your best option is to enter into a Mesa AZ IRS payment plan.  Many times the statute of limitations that the IRS has to collect the debt expires before the installment arrangement pays of the debt.  If you finances show you do not have the ability to pay your necessary living expenses you may be put on a non collectible status which means no payments are required.

Scott Allen E.A. of Mesa Arizona has the expertise to advise you of all of your options and reviewing the pros and cons of each one.  On occasion more than one option will provide the best option.  An example might be to first go on a non collectible status until the taxes qualify for discharge in a tax motivated bankruptcy.  Call to schedule a free initial in office consultation by calling Scott at 480-926-9300.

Is it Possible to Remove an Arizona IRS Tax Lien?

Remove an Arizona IRS Tax Lien

Depending on the facts and circumstances, an IRS lien can be withdrawn, subordinated, discharged or released.  A tax lien will be withdrawn if it was filed without just cause.  A tax lien will be subordinated in cases where the taxpayer is financing real property and able to use the loan proceeds to pay down the tax debt.  A discharge is possible when the taxpayer is selling real property and agrees to pay all the equity towards the tax debt.  And finally an Arizona IRS tax lien will be released when the tax debt has been paid in full, or settled with an accepted Offer in Compromise, or the statute of limitations has expired, or when a tax debt is discharged in bankruptcy and there is no equity in the asset.

Removing an Arizona IRS tax lien under each of these four scenarios will require professional help. TaxDebtAdvisors.com offers a free initial, in office, consultation.  Call Scott today at 480-926-9300 to schedule your appointment.
