2018 Peoria IRS Settlement

What is a 2018 Peoria IRS Settlement?

A 2018 Peoria IRS Settlement is a successful agreement between an Arizona taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service to solve a tax debt. Mike was in need of this service and went to Tax Debt Advisors to get this done. He had ten tax years that he is delinquent on. See the notice below to view his accepted Peoria IRS settlement.

2018 Peoria IRS Settlement

What does a “Case Closed – Currently Non Collectible” statue mean? It means that Mike does not have to pay anything back to the IRS on his delinquent debt. He has also agreed to file and full pay his current and future tax obligations. It is basically a $0 a month payment plan.  Based upon a detailed analysis of his finances it was determined that he did not have any extravagant living expenses and could not afford an IRS payment plan at this time. A currently non collectible status is just one of several ways to resolve an IRS debt. It is important to explore all options before making a final decision.

What are the available options?

1. Let it expire
2. Suspend it (Currently Non Collectible)
3. Adjust it
4. Pay it
5. Compromise it
6. Discharge it

Tax Debt Advisors is a family owned tax practice in Arizona. It has been solving IRS problems since 1977. It is currently owned and operated by Scott Allen EA and has been since 2007. Before that it was owed by his father. Over time Scott Allen EA purchased the firm from his father and has never looked back. He has taken the existing business and grown it year after year. Specializing in unfiled tax returns and IRS settlements has its rewards in helping struggling taxpayers get back on their feet again. This is the true joy of doing this type of tax work.  If you are currently struggling with an IRS matter give Scott Allen EA a call to discuss your situation.

Mesa IRS Currently Non Collectible

Case Closed – Accepted Mesa IRS Currently Non Collectible

A tax client named Scott received an approval for a Mesa IRS Currently Non Collectible status on his back tax debt. Scott and his wife were about six years behind on their tax filings. They made an appointment to meet with Tax Debt Advisors to discuss how they could assist. Tax Debt Advisors was able to represent the concerned taxpayers before the IRS and put a hold to further enforcement action. All the back tax returns were prepared one at a time until brought current. Scott is self employed so with no taxes being withheld they owed for each and every year. However, based upon their current financial status the taxpayers qualified for a currently non collectible status on all the back tax years. You can read into more about this status by clicking here. In addition you can read the acceptance/approval letter from the IRS agent below. These are always good IRS letter to open up to say the least.

Mesa IRS Currently Non Collectible

Mesa IRS Currently Non Collectible

All the client needs to do is to file and pay on time their future tax obligations and they will remain in this status. If they do not then it will cause a default and they will have to rework a new agreement. If that happens they may or may not qualify for the same agreement if their financial situation has changed. What if the taxpayers are making $800 more per month then they were when the agreement was established? Now the IRS could force them to agree to an $800 a month payment plan. This is something you do not want to happen. Again, the key to keeping the IRS “off your back” is to remain in filing compliance. Far too often clients will become repeat clients because they cannot correct the problem.

Rather then becoming a repeat client, do it right the first time with Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors in Mesa AZ. Speak with him today regarding your IRS matter.

2018 Scottsdale IRS Settlement by Scott Allen EA

A completed 2018 Scottsdale IRS Settlement

View the image below to see a 2018 Scottsdale IRS settlement that Scott Allen EA did for his client John.

2018 Scottsdale IRS Settlement

If you came across this page you probably are in a similar situation to John. John had a handful of tax returns that were unfiled. He lost a lot of his tax records over the years due to moving and various job changes.  Scott Allen EA was hired by John to represent hin before the Internal Revenue Service. This is where Scott did his “discovery” work. He found out exactly what John needed to file, where to file, and gather copies of his 1099’s and W-2’s for each year.

Next, the tax returns were prepared (also done by Scott). One by one they were filed timely with the IRS. While waiting for the IRS to process the tax returns a strategy was worked on to settle the IRS debt for John. Financial information was evaluated on his income and expenses. It was determined that John would indeed qualify for a non collectible status on his IRS debt.

What qualifies someone for a non collectible status? To summarize it into one statement its when a taxpayer has little or no money left over each month after paying for his or her basic living expenses. To qualify a taxpayer must live within the IRS’s national standard guidelines on expenses. If you spend too much money on a car payment or some other expenses the IRS could ask you to sell or adjust that expenses before qualifying for a non collectible status. This is when its important to have an Enrolled Agent on your side to guide you through this process so you can achieve the best that the law allows.

Meet with Scott Allen EA this week to evaluate your tax matter and get it resolved right the first time.

2018 Gilbert IRS Settlement by Scott Allen EA

2018 Gilbert IRS Settlement

If you came across this blog you are probably in some type of tax trouble which may require a 2018 Gilbert IRS settlement for you. Tax trouble could mean a number of different things. Some taxpayers meet with Tax Debt Advisors just for a consult. Others are under an IRS wage garnishment. Some have back tax returns that need to be filed. In any case, the ultimate goal is to get some type of Gilbert IRS settlement. Tax Debt Advisors is a local family owned company that focuses on solving simple to complex IRS problems by representing them as their Power of Attorney.

Let’s give you an example. George and his wife met with Tax Debt Advisors a few months ago. They currently did not owe any back taxes to the IRS however they were behind on their tax filings for 2015, 2016, and 2017.  Both of them were employed as W2 wage earners. They were having some taxes being withheld from their paychecks but not enough.  An IRS Power of Attorney was signed and Scott Allen EA began investigating their case. He was able to verify any and all compliance issues, and retrieve and confirm all documents the IRS had on record for both taxpayers for the three years that needed to be prepared.  Upon reviewing the information with the taxpayers and confirming that all information was correct, the returns were prepared and filed properly. Back tax returns can typically take anywhere from four to eight weeks for processing. While waiting for those to be completed Scott Allen EA helped the taxpayers prepare and organize their current financial information so that they could evaluate all settlement options available.

Below is what was successfully accomplished for George. All his back tax debt from 2015, 2016, and 2017 was settled into one monthly payment plan. The payment plan was negotiated in a way that prevented the IRS from filing a federal tax lien against their credit. As long as George remains in compliance with his future tax obligations the IRS will no longer bug him again.

2018 Phoenix IRS Debt Settlement

2018 Phoenix IRS Debt Settlement

This taxpayer was looking for a 2018 Phoenix IRS debt settlement. She found Tax Debt Advisors online and met with Scott Allen EA for a consultation on her tax matter. All her tax returns were already filed except for the current tax return. That year would not be an issue as it had a refund anyways.

Scott Allen EA was hired to be her power of attorney representative before the Internal Revenue Service. He contacted the IRS initially for two reasons. He needed to first confirm all the issues on the account:

  • Verify what years are owed for
  • Total amounts owed
  • All tax returns were filed.
  • Verify where the account assigned at

Upon completing that review Scott and the taxpayer met to begin collecting and evaluating her current financial status. She was in the middle of switching jobs so it was a little difficult getting the most accurate information in a way to relay to the IRS appropriately. However, we got it done and advised her to get into a currently non collectible status for all her back IRS debt.

Do I Need To File Taxes in 2017-2018?

Do I Need To File Taxes in 2018-2018

If you are searching for “do i need to file taxes 2017” or “do i need to file taxes 2018“, this post should help! Everyone is not required to file their taxes every year. Generally, one’s total income for the entire year has not exceeded the amount of their standard deduction, with one exemption, and they are not a dependent of another tax payer. So, if you can claim yourself under the above requirements you may not have to file a tax return every year. It depends on the yearly income that one’s has earned, the type of that income, their age, and their filing status, as to whether or not they would have to file any taxes for that year.

The gross income thresholds

Anyone who pays taxes and files a return can claim the standard deduction and they can also claim one other person as an exemption, as long as that person is not being claimed by someone else. The amounts of the standard tax and the exempt get fixed by the government every year by the time the tax season comes around and it is also taken care of for any increases due to inflation every year as well.

You Do Not Need To File Taxes If Your Income Doesn’t Exceed Your Standard Deduction

The IRS does not require anyone to file a tax return in the years that their income does not exceed their standard deduction, including any exemptions that they might be able to take. In other words, if their income is equal to or less than their standard deduction plus exemptions they do not have to file for that year. Tax exempt income is not included when trying to determine if you need to file or not. For instance, in the year of 2017, those who were under the age of 65 and they were single, would have to file their tax return if they made over $10,400 and over, that is how much the standard deduction was for that year for a single taxpayer, including one exemption.

The income thresholds for those 65 and over

Anyone who is at least 65 years of age and is receiving Social Security income must go by the filing requirements the same as those who are still working. Although, those on Social Security can usually receive more income than working tax payers before they having to file a return. With the exception of those who are married and file separate returns. If this is the case, they would have included their Social Security income to evaluate their gross income will exceed the standard deduction, including one exemption. Additionally, should the IRS require someone to pay taxes on a portion of their Social Security income on account of their other income be too much, they would have to calculate that taxable amount, no matter what their filing status or marital status is.

Tax filings for dependent filers

Taxpayers that are claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return will be subject to a different set of IRS filing requirements, whether they be a child or an adult. Dependent taxpayers are unable to claim themselves as an exemption, it makes it necessary for them to file a tax return when their income is equal to or more than their standard deduction (for single filers), which in the year of 2017 the standard deduction was $6,350 dollars. The dependents threshold on their income decreases over $1,050 for unearned income, like dividends and interest.

Claiming your tax refunds

Even on the years that a person would not have to file a return they might want to think again. The only way to receive a refund is to file a tax return for those who have federal taxes withheld out of their paychecks. For instance, a single taxpayer that earned $2,500 throughout the year, and they had $300 of that withheld for their federal tax, they would be entitled a refund for all of the $300 because their earnings were less than their standard deduction and an exemption. The IRS will not just automatically send anyone a refund, they would first have to file a tax return.
