Recent case:

Scott Allen EA was able to assist David with his IRS audit reconsideration in Scottsdale Arizona. The IRS made an assessment against his 2018 tax return. This assessment resulted in an account balance due of $6,641.50. David had put this off and didn’t schedule an appointment to meet with Scott until 2022. After a careful review of his account and investigating the IRS records and also the taxpayers records Scott Allen EA knew he could save David some money and get the account balance reduced. He was exactly right. If you view the IRS adjustment letter below you can see that the account balance was reduced by $2,882.55. Never believe it is too late to resolve problems with the IRS. Some things are subject to a statute of limitations but many things are not. Always consult with an Enrolled Agent (E.A) if you are experiencing IRS problems.

Arnold got his Mesa AZ federal tax levy stopped with a currently non collectible status negotiation by Scott Allen EA. All six years that he owed the IRS for was put into this status. For the time being he does not have to make any payments on his back taxes owed. What a great relief this was for Arnold.

What is the Difference between an IRS Tax Levy and an IRS Tax Lien?

IRS Tax Levy & IRS Tax Lien in Phoenix

IRS TAX LEVY IN PHOENIX—The intent of a levy is to take money from your bank accounts, accounts receivables, wages and retirement accounts.  Exemptions from levy include unemployment benefits, worker’s compensation, most house hold items and tools used in your trade.

Before the IRS can levy on your property, you will be sent a letter stating FINAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO LEVY.  You are given 30 days to file an appeal.  The IRS cannot take any levy action until your appeal hearing is completed.  You can also stop levy action by entering into a bankruptcy, file an offer in compromise, enter into an installment arrangement or qualify for non collectible status.  In rare instances the IRS can seize your home but must first get court approval.

IRS TAX LIEN IN PHOENIX—A lien secures the IRS claim against your property.  The lien will automatically attach to any property you own and property you later purchase.  When a lien is filed the IRS has the same rights as your mortgage company, but they are in a second position after the mortgage has been satisfied.  If you sell your house, after the mortgage has been paid, the IRS has claim on any remaining equity up to the amount of tax, interest and penalties owed.

The filing of an IRS lien is public information and is done at the county recorder’s office.  An IRS tax lien must be filed in the county you own real estate for it to have any affect on your property.  A tax lien does not identify the property it encumbers.  You have 30 days to dispute the filing of a tax lien.  This is called a collection due process appeal.  In most cases, a tax lien will expire ten years after the taxes were assessed.  There are certain actions that taxpayers can take that will extend the statute of limitations, such as filing a bankruptcy or offer in compromise.  Care should be taken to evaluate the negative impact of extending a statute of limitation against the benefits of the action being considered.

Do Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorneys Provide Personal Service?

Phoenix Arizona IRS Tax Attorneys

The number one complaint we hear from our clients about Phoenix Arizona IRS tax attorneys is the lack of personal service and lack of responding to questions that are understood, or simply returning phone calls.  The sad part is that we hear this complaint occasionally from clients who we referred to Phoenix Arizona IRS tax Attorneys that we have worked with and know are much better at providing personal service that the typical attorney.

The response to your questions by a Phoenix Arizona IRS tax attorney is usually above the level of understanding of most of their clients.  After providing IRS resolution services for many years, I am convinced that this is either a tactic to limit the number of questions they have to answer or as a part of their attitude of intimidating clients into submission.

Once you have paid your fee to a Phoenix Arizona IRS tax attorney, they have an intense resistance to return phone calls.  They are reluctant to returns calls because they know clients will continue to call when they have concerns and questions—that are often keeping them awake at night.

May we respectfully suggest that you contact Scott Allen E.A with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation.  You will notice the difference immediately about his ability to respond to your questions in a manner you understand the first time.  When you call his office, he will answer the phone unless he is on the phone or with a client—but your call will be returned before he goes on to the next appointment.

Check out a recent success by Scott Allen EA who is NOT a Phoenix Arizona IRS tax attorney. He was able to negotiate six years and $69,000 of IRS tax debt into a currently non collectible status. What does this mean? Randall does not have to make any monthly payments towards his back taxes as long as he files and full pays his current and future taxes on time. A pretty nice settlement for him! Now he can move on to the next chapter in his life with out always worried about the IRS.

IRS Tax Lien in Arizona: IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

Everything you always wanted to know about an IRS tax lien in Arizona

What is an IRS Tax Lien? 

A tax lien filed by the IRS is public notice to creditors that you owe IRS taxes.  This will cause your credit report to decline significantly.  A lien is also a claim against all real and personal property that you own that you have title to—mainly you home and vehicles.  A lien prevents you from selling an asset like your home and receiving any proceeds from the sale of your home until the amount owed on the lien is satisfied. 

Why is a Tax Lien filed? 

A tax lien is filed only after the IRS has made a bona fide attempt to collect the taxes owed.  Several notices have to be sent warning you about the IRS ability to file a lien against you.  These would include a CP-501, CP-503 and a CP-504.  Each letter gets more threatening and the final notice also warns that the IRS may levy your bank accounts and/or garnish your wages.   

Negative Impact of an IRS Tax Lien?

You will be denied credit when applying for a loan on major purchases such as a vehicle or a home.  Increasingly employers will check your credit before making an offer of employment.  A tax lien will definitely limit your chances of being hired.  An IRS tax lien in Arizona will prevent you from getting a licensed for many professions such as being a financial planner.  Even if you clear up an IRS tax lien, it was continue to be on your credit report long after you have resolved the problem.   

How are IRS Tax Liens Released? 

Your tax lien will be removed when the tax, including interest and penalties has been paid in full. 

If you have an Offer in compromise accepted and pay the agreed amount, your tax lien will be released. 

Once a lien has been filed, you have the right to file an appeal to have a hearing.  If you are successful the lien will be removed but the lien will still appear on your credit report.   

There is a 10 year Statute of Limitations on IRS tax liens.  Tax liens are self releasing and the release date is on the original notice of IRS tax lien you received. 

Will filing a Bankruptcy release an IRS Tax Lien? 

No.  An IRS tax lien in Arizona will survive bankruptcy and continue to be attached to your property until the statute of limitations is satisfied. 

Why Call Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.? 

IRS tax lien representation will be handled exclusively by Scott Allen E. A.  I know how seriously tax liens can wreck havoc on your daily life.  The key is to call me before a tax lien is filed.  I will work exclusively with you until your tax matter is resolved.

If a tax lien has already been filed, I will help you to get your tax liability settled so that you can get your IRS lien released and your credit can be restored.  There are several actions that I will advise you to do with the three major credit bureaus—Experian, TransUnion and Equifax.  Even though the tax lien will still be on your credit report, proper action will allow your credit scores to return back to where they were before the IRS filed a tax lien.

IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ and Saved $171,000.00

Mark’s IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ

Mark was behind on several years of back taxes and owed more to the IRS then he could ever imagine paying back. After Scott Allen EA got him filing compliant by preparing all of his back taxes Gilbert AZ it was time to make a determination on his best settlement option. His income had dropped substantially, he was getting up there in age, and had no assets to speak of really other then his modest vehicle. Scott Allen EA knew he could negotiate all this debt into a low monthly payment plan (say $300 a month or so) and just ride out the ten year statute of limitations. However, Mark didn’t want the IRS hanging over him for that long. Scott Allen EA continued to evaluate his complete financial status and wanted to let Mark know about the IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ program. The IRS OIC program is a real solution but he cautions everyone that very few people ultimately qualify for it for a number a various reasons. They might have too high of income. They might have assets with available equity. They may have filed many back taxes Gilbert AZ too recently. They may not be making proper estimated tax payments and/or proper W2 withholdings. They may not be able to come up with the down payment or lump sum if the IRS accepted an OIC. Settling a $191,000 for $20,000 is a fantastic deal and almost everyone would take that, but if a taxpayer does not have a way to come up with the $20,000 there is no reason to apply for an OIC to begin with. Long story short, it is important to sit down and speak with your IRS power or attorney face to face before submitting an IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ.

Mark saved over $171,000 with his IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ

Check out the IRS acceptance letter dated July 16 2022. It was a tough IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ to get accepted with a number a various financial things to go over and get approved. Covid 19 and all the delays that occurred because of that. Scott Allen EA also had to take the case to the IRS office of appeals to get some matters accepted as well. At the end of the day, Scott Allen EA fought long and hard for his client, Mark. He did what needed to be done to get the best possible outcome.

IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ

If you are considering an IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ please schedule to meet with Scott Allen EA first. He will go over the IRS OIC process but more importantly he will also make sure you know about all the settlement options the IRS has. Scott Allen EA can be your IRS Power of Attorney and represent you from start to finish.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for stopping IRS levy

Stop Mesa AZ IRS Levy

Jonah and the whale—A story about an Old Testament prophet who refused to accept his divine mission and left on a sea voyage.  God caused a storm and the sailors threw him overboard in an attempt to save their ship. Jonah was swallowed by a whale for three days and vomited out on dry land.  Grateful that his life was spared, Jonah took up his mission from God.

There are some parallels between Jonah and many of our Mesa AZ IRS levy clients. If you consider the whale to be the IRS, many of our clients refuse to accept the fact that they have to deal with the matter until it becomes a crisis.  Until they are in the so called “belly” of the IRS—under a wage garnishment or Mesa AZ IRS levy or seizure of assets—they have chosen to ignore their IRS problem.

If you are in a situation where you now recognize that you need professional help to stop your Mesa AZ IRS Levy, call Scott Allen E.A. for an immediate free initial consultation.  Scott Allen E.A. can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Scott is an experienced expert on stopping IRS levy or IRS wage garnishment as quickly as possible.  He give the highest priority for clients in a crisis or levy situation with the IRS.

See how Scott Allen E.A. was able to stop Mesa AZ IRS Levy for his client Thomas. Thomas owed back taxes for ten different tax years totaling more than $200,000. His payment plan entered into default territory and he received ten letters from the IRS all in the same day that stated, “intent to levy”. Scott Allen E.A. was able to step in for him as Power of Attorney, pause collection activity and get his payment plan agreement back on track for him. View a copy of his IRS letter below.

Is a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney needed for the Collection Appeals Program (CAP)?

Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney

No, you do not need a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney to participate in the IRS Collection Appeals Program or CAP.  The CAP was set up to help taxpayers before or after the IRS files a Notice of Lien, before or after the IRS seizes or levies property, bank accounts or payroll checks, or if the IRS rejects or terminates your installment arrangement.

The IRS is required to allow you to have a hearing regarding your position with the Appeals Office.  The IRS cannot enforce collections action before giving you this right.  Your hearing with the Appeals Office is before an impartial person who has not previously been involved in your case.  This is not a legal matter and does not require an IRS Tax Attorney in Phoenix AZ.

Scott Allen E.A. has successfully negotiated settlements with the Appeals Office.  Options may include but are not limited to installment agreements, non-collectible status, offers in compromise, and innocent spouse status.  Call Scott today at 480-926-9300 and schedule a free consultation to see what options are available to you.

Scott Allen EA was able to help out Franklin with his IRS tax debt matter. He did not need to hire a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney or even file a CAP. What he needed was a quick negotiation of an installment arrangement. This put a stop to all collection activity and got him compliant with the IRS.  Again, avoid getting fearful of the IRS and avoid costly mistakes that come from that fear. View the IRS letter below to see what Scott Allen EA did for Franklin of Phoenix AZ on his back taxes.

A tax attorney solves legal, technical and complex problems with the IRS. Tax attorneys can also help with:

Can A Tax Attorney Really Help?

Yes, a tax attorney can really help if you want to pay more money for the same services a tax debt advisor can do for cheaper.

Why You Should I Tax Debt Advisor Vs. Hiring a Tax Attorney?

Tax Debt Advisors have great experience in settling debts with the IRS. Choosing a tax debt advisor instead of a tax attorney offers many benefits including:

  • More affordable services
  • Tax attorney typically charge 100-400% more for the same services a tax debt advisor could do
  • Tax debt advisors don’t use fear tactics to make you think the situation is worse than it is
  • Settle debt faster with simple tax debt solutions

We are not a tax attorney firm, rather, a tax debt specialist with expert knowledge in tax law that can help you solve complicated IRS problems & tax debt issues that would normally require a tax lawyer.  Contact Scott Allen with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. 480-926-9300 to help you get right with the IRS today! Don’t hire a tax attorney! Instead, why not hire an affordable Tax Debt Advisor who has been helping customers dealing with tax issues since 1977, and has helped solve over 113,000 tax debts.

Why Hire A Tax Attorney In Arizona?

Believe it or not, you actually don’t have to hire a tax attorney in Arizona when dealing with the IRS.

His father and Scott Allen E.A. from Tax Debt Advisors has helped over 113,000 people settle their problems with the IRS and can help guide you through any tax situation you may be dealing with, including:

Why You Don’t Need A Tax Attorney

Here are the reasons of why you don’t need a tax attorney:

  • If you are making a decision full of fear and think you need a tax attorney for other than criminal or fraudulently filed returns, you will be seriously disappointed.  Attorneys are able to generate income by perpetuating fear.  Most of our clients who started with an attorney and switched to us mentioned always being intimidated with fear that something bad would happen if… and that if always is followed by another big retainer fee.
  • IRS resolution work is not rocket science.  It is common sense work that improves over time because of relationships established with the IRS and understanding their idiosyncrasies.  Attorneys will often scare clients into thinking that their legal training is necessary for a successful resolution.
  • Many clients think that they will get what they pay for and base the quality of the work on the amount they pay.  In most cases, an attorney will charge anywhere from 25% to over 400% more for the same exact service.  If you go for a consultation with an attorney consider getting a second opinion by calling me for a free initial consultation.  I love these appointments.

When To Hire A Tax Attorney?

A Tax debt advisor can help with almost everything a tax attorney can except criminal charges. If the IRS is pursuing criminal charges against you, you will need to hire a tax attorney.  Tax fraud and tax evasion are 2 of the most common reasons for an IRS investigation. IRS investigations are serious: 80% of defendants that go through a criminal investigation are sentenced to prison. This is one situation where a tax debt advisor cannot help you, you will have to hire a tax attorney.

Why You Should Hire An Enrolled Agent Vs. Hiring A Tax Attorney

View our recent blog postWhen is an IRS tax attorney in Phoenix necessary and when isn’t it?

1. Your tax problems might not be that bad – It doesn’t take a tax lawyer or rocket scientist to work with the IRS. Furthermore, legal training isn’t a necessity to handle most tax issues. Also, tax attorney’s will try to scare you into thinking that legal representation is necessary. That is not true! Let Tax Debt Advisors help solve your tax problems without instilling fear or requesting huge retainer fees for our services.

2. Get a 2nd Opinion – Some tax customers think that paying a higher fee will give them a higher quality services. That is false! Tax attorney commonly charge 400% more for the same services a tax debt expert can handle. There is literally no difference in the process besides you paying more money. We are not saying it is a bad idea to talk to a tax attorney but you should get a second opinion as well. At Tax Debt Advisors we offer free tax consultations.

3. Don’t Make A Decision Based On Fear – Do you think you need a tax attorney because you filed fraudulent tax returns, you might be disappointed. Tax lawyers generate income based off of fear. Most of our tax clients started with a tax attorney, only to find out that they try to intimidate you into thinking you have a bigger tax problem than you do. And, that’s almost always followed by a big retainer fee.

Feel Confident With Experienced Tax Representation

When I have looked back over the years, the one common factor in bad decision making on my part, is when I was overly influence due to fear.  I love the quote from one of the Star Wars movies that explains how Anakin became the evil Darth Vader—the quote, “It was fear that pushed me to the dark side.”  If you have already had a consultation with an attorney ask yourself one question, “Did he reduce my level of fear or just use it to get what he or she wanted?”  A good representative will always leave you feeling better, not fearful.  A great representative will focus on the 99% that can go right and the wrong ones will focus on the 1% that almost never happens.  When you are trying to decide if you need representation from an attorney consider taking the time to get a second opinion from me.  I know you will be glad you did!

5 Star Review: “Scott is professional and real. He looks out for me and is so thorough. He waived an IRS penalty for me that a different accountant said couldn’t be waived. And it was so simple. He is so kind and really works with you. I now have multiple family members who use him and each of us all love him!” Rebecca O.

5 Star Review: “Scott did an outstanding job helping my parents on their back due taxes. When I met him he was very professional and knowledgeable about how to approach the problem. Our issue took 9 months to resolve because of problems with how our taxes were filed (not his fault), but he stayed engaged and helpful the whole time even though we were very small clients for him. My parents don’t have to pay anything back to the IRS. It just amazing, it was a burden and now it’s such a relieve, such peace of mind. My dad comments that now he can sleep better without thinking about it. Thank you Scott!” Pilar L.
