Idioms to Remember if you need to STOP a Mesa AZ IRS Levy

Scott will stop Mesa AZ IRS Levy

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 are in need to stopping a Mesa AZ IRS levy.  It is important to understand how they apply to your situation.
  • Ace in the hole—A hidden advantage.  “The coach was certain that his new trick play would turn out to be his ace in the hole.” This term comes from the game of stud poker, in which one or more cards are turned face down, or “in the hole,” as bets are placed.  The ace is the card with the highest value.
  • Act of God—An event beyond human control like an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.
  • Albatross around one’s neck—An annoying burden: “That old car is an albatross around my neck.”
  • Bite the bullet—To adjust to unpleasant circumstances.  “The severe drought is forcing everybody to bit the bullet and use less water.”  Before anesthesia, surgeons operating on the wounded gave them a bullet to bite to help withstand the pain.
  • Burn the candle at both ends—To do more than one ought to: to overextend oneself: “Working three jobs is burning the candle at both ends.”
  • Chip on one’s shoulder—To “have a chip on one’s shoulder” is to invite conflict by being extremely touchy.  In the past, a young boy would place a wood chip on his shoulder and dare anyone to knock it off as a way of showing how tough he was.
  • Chutzpah—Yiddish term for courage bordering on arrogance.

There is more then one way to stop a Mesa AZ IRS levy.  It is important to make a plan of attack for your specific circumstances to be sure to stop the IRS levy in Mesa AZ as soon as possible.  Many times is can be accomplished within a 24 hour period of first contact with the IRS.  On occasions we can get the IRS to give a temporary or partial stop to a Mesa AZ IRS levy with commitments to get accomplished as is needed (i.e. file back tax returns, provide financial information) to make it a permanent stop to the IRS levy in Mesa AZ.

There are several ways to settle and IRS debt.  Each settlement options has pros and cons—something good about it as wells as something not so good.  However, one is always better that the rest and is usually quite obvious once the facts have been presented to you without prejudice towards any one solution.  That is why Tax Debt Advisors, Inc should be your choice when confronted with a serious IRS problem.  Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors Inc was able to stop Mesa AZ IRS levy for a client by negotiating his debt into a low monthly payment plan. Yes, it was that simple. He put an end of the IRS levy by putting Jason on a $155 per month payment plan for his two years of back taxes owed. See the IRS approval letter below.

Phoenix AZ IRS Negotiation work

Phoenix AZ IRS Negotiation by Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

Jay was defaulting on his payment plan and needed a new Phoenix AZ IRS Negotiation done. His biggest worry was having the IRS file a federal tax lien against his credit. It is understood that on most payment plans with the IRS they will file a tax lien to protect their interest.  There are some exceptions to that rule however. If you owe the IRS in total less then $50,000 you can prevent an IRS tax lien. Once a federal tax lien has been filed it cannot be removed until the debt is paid off in full, settled in an offer in compromise, or been on a payment plan and now owe less then $25,000.

Because Jay had defaulted his installment arrangement with the IRS he was at risk to them placing a tax lien against him.  However, with a proper strategy this could be avoided.  This is exactly what Tax Debt Advisors did for him.  Given Power of Attorney, Scott Allen EA contacted the IRS right away to hold off collection activity so time could be allowed to get the taxpayer back into compliance. Updating the financial information it was determined that they could get a new payment plan reestablished as a direct debit arrangement for $700 per month. At this amount the IRS did not file a federal tax lien and the taxpayers can continue on with their Phoenix AZ IRS negotiation.

Juanita was given nearly an $82,000 tax bill from the IRS on her 2017 tax year. She realized she made good money that year being self employed but it wasn’t “that” good. Scott Allen EA was able to be her IRS power of attorney and research the matter in her behalf. When the IRS assessed her the $82,000 tax bill they didn’t incorporate any of her operating business expenses. With this being said, Scott was able to prepare and file a protest to the IRS’s decision and get a proper return accepted by the IRS. As you can see below $18,505 was removed from her tax bill. That includes the tax, interest and penalties.

Tempe Arizona IRS Help: Collections Due Process Appeal?

Tempe AZ IRS Help

When a taxpayer and the IRS cannot come to an agreement regarding taxes owed or the settlement of how those taxes will be paid, Congress in 1998 enacted the Collection Due Process Appeal (CDP) process.  A Tempe Arizona IRS Tax Attorney is not required to take this action.  The IRS Appeals Office was set up to independently review the dispute when the negotiations between the IRS and taxpayer breakdown or when the taxpayer has ignored previous collection attempts by the IRS.

When the taxpayer receives his final notice to pay, they have 30 days to appeal the collection with a CDP Appeal.  The Appeals office is interested in resolving the matter as quickly as possible.  Many times it is in the best interest of the taxpayer to wait until they can petition the collection of taxes with the Appeals Office.

The Appeals Officer is willing to look at any settlement option that the law allows.  Scott Allen E.A. is well versed in all the settlement options and the amount to be paid with each option.  Scott will negotiate the best settlement the law will allow.  Call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation to evaluate filing a Collection Due Process Appeal and your settlement options.  Before thinking you need a Tempe AZ IRS Tax Attorney give Scott Allen a call today!

A taxpayer will have a lot of different options available to them when needing Tempe AZ IRS help. It could involve a CDP Appeal but often times it will not. It just requires timely follow through service and that is exactly what Scott Allen E.A. does provide. See what he did for his client Cindy. She found herself a couple years behind on paying her personal taxes. She didn’t need to file any appeals or challenge any IRS decisions. She just needed proper representation and negotiate the two years of back taxes into a low monthly payment plan.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. Releases Arizona IRS Tax Levies

Release Arizona IRS Levy with Payment Plan

The IRS in Arizona is a relentless bill collector.  One of the most aggressive actions the IRS takes is tp place an Arizona IRS levy on a taxpayer.  The two most common levy actions are against your bank accounts and wages.  These extreme actions will continue until you come into full compliance with the IRS.  This means you will have to file any unfiled past tax returns and if you owe taxes, enter into a settlement option.  The IRS will always fire a warning shot first with notices and reminder letters.  Do not ignore these.  The longer you do the harder it will be to resolve you levy quickly.  If you are slow to act the IRS will also be slow to respond until you are in full compliance.  The IRS can take 100% of the money you have in a bank account up to the amount of taxes owed and up to 80% of you paycheck until all of your tax liability is paid.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has the experience to resolve any IRS levy.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has helped thousands of Arizona employees with IRS levy problems at hundreds of companies including the following to name just a few in the car business:

Scott Allen EA helps with IRS Audit Reconsideration in Phoenix AZ

Audit Reconsideration in Phoenix AZ

If you are considering audit reconsideration in Phoenix AZ may I suggest you make a call to Scott Allen EA. Click on the following image to view a recent success he had with a current client in an IRS a similar situation.  Scott Allen EA saved this client $18,451 simply by challenging the IRS auditor through audit reconsideration in Phoenix Arizona.

phoenix az irs audit reconsideration 1

Just because the IRS says its so does not make it correct.  If you feel your audit did not go as you has hoped and you have a new position for the IRS to consider you may want to consider IRS audit reconsideration in Phoenix AZ.  Audit reconsideration can also be an effective tool if you have unfiled tax returns.  The IRS can “audit” you on that unfiled tax return and asses you on the tax debt that they come up with.  Its up to the taxpayer to file and protest their findings.  One thing to always remember with Phoenix AZ audit reconsideration though is that they are not quick fixes.  As we all know the IRS can be slow and patience has to be used throughout the process. Scott Allen EA has seen IRS audit reconsideration take 2 months and he has seen them take 18 months.  Because of this it is important to have an IRS power of attorney like Scott Allen EA to work aggressively for you. Schedule an appointment to meet with him today for an in office visit.

If you have an IRS assessment that you have zero idea on how they came up with that amount its probably because the IRS filed what they call a SFR return.  SFR stands for substitute for return. What does this mean? It means you had an unfiled tax return so they filed in your behalf. These are returns that you want to take to audit reconsideration. Scott Allen EA has the experience to get that done for you.

Another Case Update for Audit Reconsideration in Phoenix AZ

Christie went through a CP-2000 underreporting audit by the IRS because of some errors made by them and also their previous preparer who prepared their 2016 tax return.  Due to inaction, the IRS assessed Christie over $88,000 in tax, interest and penalty. She met with Scott and hired him to be her power of attorney and investigate the matter. It was discovered that the IRS was erroneously doubling her K1 income. An amended business return was filed and the IRS took both K1’s as income to her rather then removing the original and only assessing the amended K1.  It was nearly a 9 month long fight with the IRS to get this explained and correct; but the result made it all worth it. Over $79,000 of tax, interest and penalty was removed from her account. Click and view the IRS audit reconsideration Phoenix AZ letter below.

Is a Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorney the only choice there is for an IRS Tax Specialist?

Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorney

Except in criminal cases, IRS tax specialists do not need to be a Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorney.  In fact using a Phoenix Arizona Tax Attorney for your IRS problem would be like going to a brain cancer specialist for a sore throat.  Generally speaking, when a Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorney advertises that they do IRS work, they are really saying they do not have enough legal work to keep themselves busy.  If a brain cancer specialist advertises that they do family practice work, wouldn’t you wonder if you were going to be over charged for the same services as a family practice physician?  The same applies to IRS Tax Attorneys in Phoenix Arizona advertising IRS resolution services.

Scott Allen E.A. is licensed in all 50 states to represent taxpayers before the IRS.  A Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorney is only licensed as an attorney within the state he has passed a bar exam.  Scott Allen will represent you at the highest level in getting you the settlement that is best for you—at a fee you can afford.  Don’t be fooled by all the tax attorney hype on top of the intimidation that you will regret not using a tax attorney in Phoenix AZ.  It’s simply not true.  Call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation today.

Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney to get an IRS tax lien released or removed?

Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney

No, getting an IRS lien released is not a legal matter. If the IRS has filed a lien, it is important to know how long the Gilbert AZ tax lien has been filed.  After the statute of limitations period of 10 years, IRS tax liens are automatically released.  However, the IRS does not report this information to credit bureaus unless the taxes have been paid.  Scott Allen E.A of Gilbert and Mesa can advised you how to get the credit bureaus aware that your lien is no longer in place.

If you have just had a lien filed and feel that it should not have been filed in the first place and did not take advantage of a Collections Due Process Hearing, contact Scott Allen E.A. and set up a free consultation to determine if you have a valid reason for the IRS to release the tax lien.

If the lien is not released, there are situations where the IRS will subordinate their lien to allow you to get a loan on your Gilbert AZ home.  There are certain criteria that have to be met but if you qualify Scott Allen E.A. can get a subordination of your IRS tax lien.  Instead of working with a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney contact Scott Allen E.A if you have a tax lien to determine what your options are.  Scott can be reached at 480-926-9300.

Charles came in to meet with Scott Allen EA to discuss his tax problem. He had some old IRS debt still hanging out there but also needed to file back tax returns for six years. Rather then hiring a Gilbert AZ IRS tax attorney he hired Scott (an Enrolled Agent) to represent him before the IRS. Scott Allen EA was able to stop garnishment action, prepare all six years of his back tax returns and prevent the IRS from slapping a tax lien on him. All of his IRS debt was negotiated into a low $590/month payment plan. With all this being handled for him he is now applying to by a home for himself. This is just one of the thousands of happy clients that have used Scott for IRS tax relief in Gilbert AZ.

Do I need a Chandler AZ IRS Tax Attorney for IRS Tax Relief?

No, IRS tax relief is not a legal matter.

Chandler AZ IRS problems are a burden that often requires professional help but not necessarily require a Chandler AZ IRS Tax Attorney (as people in fear often assume).  If you are delinquent in filing tax returns you need a Chandler AZ tax professional who is competent in both filing late returns and settling the debt associated with those back tax returns.  Where taxpayers are hurt the most is in the amount the IRS expects to be paid back on a monthly basis.  This is called an installment arrangement.  An IRS professional with expertise in negotiating payment plans will minimize the amount you have to pay in monthly and often can get you qualified for no payment at all—this is referred to a currently not collectible status or CNC.

If you try to do this work yourself, you may find it difficult to get to the right person who can help you, and when you do find the right department you have to deal with a different person each time that often will come up with different conclusions about your settlement.

Scott Allen E.A. near Chandler Arizona knows in advance what the best settlement amount should be and is able to “manage” the IRS personnel towards that amount.  The bureaucracy at the IRS is largely eliminated because Scott Allen E.A. is not a Chandler AZ IRS Tax Attorney but is allowed to talk with IRS personnel trained to deal with “practioners.”  The rules that govern IRS settlements are not universal administered by IRS personnel.  It is only at the manager or Appeals Office level that you get the person who can correctly agree to the settlement you are entitled to.  Call Scott Allen E.A. for a free consultation at 480-926-9300 and bypass the bureaucracy, complexity and human error that are inherent in IRS settlement work.  Let Scott make today a great day for you.
