Yes, you may have put yourself in a little bit of a pickle but there is an easy way out. Scott Allen EA has a simple three step process that helps taxpayers file back taxes Mesa and settle them into a reasonable payment plan option or other settlement solution. As you can see from the notice below, Augustus was six years delinquent with the IRS. He is a self employed truck driver and also receiving social security income. He had not been making his quarterly estimated tax payments on his business income either. Before he knew it he was stuck in this trap.

Scott Allen EA was able to dig him out of that trap. He contacted the IRS to put a stop of all collection activity and organized and prepared his six missing tax returns. Once the IRS processed all the tax returns a reasonable payment plan was negotiated based upon his financial capabilities. For him, this was $650 per month.

Shhh…I am a Delinquent Taxpayer. Who do I call?

Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney ?

First, being a delinquent taxpayer is not a legal issue and does not require the help of a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney.  However, being a delinquent taxpayer can cause the IRS to close down your business, breakup marriages, damage your health, and cause many sleepless nights.  Most taxpayers who miss filing one year for a “good reason” become paralyzed the following year and neglect to file a second year.  Once the IRS has not contacted them, the fear of being contacted by the IRS and facing the problem is too much for most taxpayers.  Most taxpayers fear the terrible penalties and interest the IRS adds to the tax liability and are unaware of IRS programs in place to help get taxpayers back in good standing.  Many taxpayers ignore the IRS until their bank account or paychecks have been levied.  Now taxpayers have to face their problem to keep their paycheck and sometimes even their job.  Many times their first thought is that they need a Mesa AZ IRS tax attorney when in fact they don’t.

It is critical that you are certain that you are working with the right person to get you bank on track with the IRS.  Work with someone like Scott Allen E.A. in Mesa AZ who has been successful at resolving hundreds of IRS tax debts.  Scott can be reached for a private consultation at no cost.  Call him today at 480-926-9300.

Call Scott Allen E.A. of Phoenix AZ to lower your IRS Tax Liability

Scott Allen EA for your Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Liability

Here is a simple checklist to review to see if your IRS tax liability is correct:

  • Get an IRS record of account and verify that all of your payments have been credited to your account.  The IRS does on occasion misapply payments.  Also sometimes your check did not clear the bank and you were unaware.
  • Always designate where you want payments to be applied if you do not want the payment applied to the oldest tax year that has a balance due.  If the IRS has applied your payment to the incorrect tax year, you can call them and get it corrected.
  • The best way to lower your IRS tax liability is to make sure each tax debt is from a filed return.  If the IRS has filed a tax return it is called a substitute for return and Scott can file a correct return and in most cases get the tax debt reduced.
  • The second best way to lower your IRS tax liability is to have Scott Allen E.A. near Phoenix AZ review your current return and see if it needs to be amended for deductions that were overlooked.
  • The third best way to lower your tax liability is to see if penalty abetment is warranted.  Scott has expertise in filing IRS form 843 if you have a legitimate reason to get your IRS penalties reduced.

Scott Allen E.A. provides a free consultation for Phoenix AZ neighbors to evaluate whether you can lower your IRS tax liability.  Call Scott at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

View the letter below from the IRS showing what Scott did for his client Evan. He was able to lower his Phoenix AZ IRS tax liability by $9,000 on his 2018 taxes. If you are uncertain about the way your tax returns were prepared you have three years to amend them.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for IRS Substitute for Return (SFR)

What to do if the IRS files a Substitute for Return filing

If you fail to file, it is only a matter of time before the IRS will file a Substitute for Return.  This is the IRS method of assessing a tax so that they can collect from your wages or bank accounts even though you have not filed a return.  The IRS can levy your wages or garnish your bank account even if you would not have owed on a return had you filed it on time.

As you would guess the IRS prepares the return in the most negative way possible.  Not because they want to punish you, but because they don’t know what your filing status is or number of dependents and deductions or expenses you are entitled too.

The good news is that the IRS will allow you to file a correct (or original) return to reduce the liability.  The bad news is that if your correct return shows a refund and it is more than three years delinquent, the IRS will not pay you the refund or allow you to use it against other IRS tax debts owed on other years.  The IRS will not allow you to discharge taxes in bankruptcy on a tax return filed as a Substitute for Return either.

Contacting  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. of Arizona if you have back tax returns to file gives you the best chance of getting the best settlement possible with the IRS.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc in Arizona  has resolved over 113,000 IRS tax debts.  Call  today to schedule a free initial consultation at 480-926-9300.  Now is the time to act and Scott Allen E.A. is the right choice.

Scott Allen EA was able to assist Daniel in protesting the IRS Substitute for Return filings they did for him on some back tax returns. After getting the tax liability as low as possible Scott negotiated a low monthly payment of only $85/month. See the IRS approval notice below.

• Filing status
• Number of dependents
• Mortgage interest and property taxes on your home.
• Auto license fees
• Medical expenses
• Charitable donations

IRS Tax Attorney in Arizona: When should I consult with an attorney?

When should I consult with a Tax Attorney?  IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Here is a summary of when using an IRS Tax Attorney in Arizona is needed:

  • If you want to bring suit against the IRS—In 40+ years we have never seen this happen.
  • If you want to challenge an IRS ruling before the US Tax Court—In 40+ years we have never seen a situation that warranted this type of action.
  • If you are under criminal investigation by the IRS.  This is one situation where you need to use a tax attorney who specializes in criminal cases before the IRS.—We have referred less than 7 clients in 40+ years to an attorney for criminal representation.
  • If you have committed tax fraud and need to have the protection of attorney client privileges.

Probably the most important consideration is to make sure you are actually using a Tax Attorney, not an attorney that has decided to do some tax work.  A legitimate IRS Tax Attorney in Arizona is certified in the specialization of tax representation.

Secondly, try to get a referral from someone who does regular tax representation work for an attorney.  Your chances of getting the right attorney are much better with a referral than choosing an attorney with the highest “yellow page” ad.

Scott Allen E. A. – Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Again, the majority of IRS cases do not need a tax attorney. Because that is the case you should consider Scott Allen EA (an Enrolled Agent) of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. His firm has been representing taxpayers for over 40 years.  Below is an example of a client who thought he needed to hire an expensive IRS tax attorney in Arizona because he owed the IRS nearly $200,000 in back taxes. Instead, Scott was able to get him on the right side of the IRS and negotiate an aggressive payment plan with them. Every case has different results but what Scott Allen EA can promise is that if you are a payment plan candidate he will negotiate the best terms the law allows.

Tempe AZ IRS Notice of Intent to Levy

Melissa is someone who hired Scott as her Power of Attorney to file her tax returns in Chandler AZ. A few of her tax years were already filed but were filed incorrectly misreporting income. Because of this error, the IRS initiated an audit and assessed her over $10,000 in additional taxes owed. Scott Allen E.A. was able to research the matter and advised her of preparing an amended tax return in protest to what the IRS did.  They did just that and as you can see from the approval notice below that it reduced what she owes the IRS by $5,000. After getting this all corrected for her they are now negotiating her IRS debt into one low payment plan settlement.
