Do I Need an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney of IRS Tax Debt Help?

No, having IRS tax debt is not a legal matter.  You do not need an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney.

However, having an IRS tax debt can cause you lots of misery.  A taxpayer may suffer a levy of wages and bank accounts, lower credit scores, tax liens filed against assets and possible seizure of assets.  If you choose the right IRS resolution specialist, you will not only get the best settlement allowed by law but you will generally pay much less for those services.

May I suggest that you meet with Scott Allen E.A.  He has the expertise to work with the IRS and will not take on your case unless it benefits you.  Call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation.  Let Scott make today a great day for you.

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

IRS Levy—Everything you need to know before calling me for a free consultation.

What is an IRS levy?

A levy from the IRS is a legal seizure of your assets to pay off your tax debt.  A levy differs from a lien.  A lien is a legal claim against your assets.  A levy actually takes the asset to satisfy the IRS tax debt.

When does the IRS levy?

An IRS levy will only take place after they have assess the tax and sent you a notice and demand for payment, and you neglect or refuse to pay the taxes owed, and they sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice).

The notice is considered received when it is given to you by an agent, when it is mailed to your home or place of business or sent to your last known address by certified or registered mail.

What should I do when I receive an IRS notice of levy?

If you have been working with an IRS revenue officer or agent, you can request to speak to their manager to review you case and explain your position.  The next step would be to request a Collection Due Process Hearing with the Office of Appeals.  This must be done within 30 days of the date of the notice.

What should I be prepared to do when I meet with the Office of Appeals?

If you have paid all the taxes, provide proof of payment.  On occasion the IRS does apply tax payments to the wrong account or to the wrong type of tax or tax year.

If you are in bankruptcy when you receive the levy notice, your levy will be entitled to an automatic stay until you come out of bankruptcy.

If the IRS made an error in computing the tax owed, bring documentation that will show that the amount owed is less than the assessed balance.

If the IRS statute of limitations has passed, the levy will be considered null and void.

If you entered into a payment plan or some other collection option, the levy should be released pending proof that you have stayed in compliance with your tax filings and monthly installment arrangement.

If you feel that you are an innocent or injured spouse, provide proof of your reasons for seeking relief from the tax debt.

What if the IRS was wrong in levying my bank account?

You have 21 days to resolve your matter before funds are turned over to the IRS.  If you paid bank charges due to an IRS error, you may be entitled to a reimbursement.  You have 30 days to appeal your request to the Tax Court.

Can the IRS levy my state refunds?

Yes, under the State Income Tax Levy Program, the IRS may levy your state tax refund check.

Can the IRS levy my Social Security check?

Yes, the IRS can garnish up to 15% of your Social Security check through the Automated Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP).

How can I help you resolve an IRS levy?

The key to getting the greatest benefit from a representative is to provide the requested information quickly and making sure all information requested is provided at the same time.  One piece of information can hold up the levy release even though you have provided the other ninety-nine.  Information needs to be complete—most delays are caused by clients who are sloppy in providing all of the information requested.

If you owe the amount that has been levied, it is doubtful that the IRS will refund the amount taken.  The release will generally apply to any future amounts that would have been taken after the release is granted.

Make sure that you provide me with all of the facts.  Clients sometimes selectively “forget” to mention items that they do not want to disclose or are embarrassed about.  If you are uncomfortable providing all of the information needed to release you levy to your representative, you probably have the wrong person representing you or you are unwilling to face the realities of resolving your tax matter.

If you are currently being levied by the IRS whether it be your bank account or wages it can be stopped. Put Scott Allen EA onboard as your IRS power of attorney to represent you thru the process.  See a recent IRS levy release accomplished (5/5/2020).

Gilbert AZ IRS tax attorney or not?

Do I need a Gilbert AZ IRS tax attorney for my IRS problem?

Reading this blog will be a win-win situation for you.  First, you do not need a Gilbert AZ IRS tax attorney to settle your IRS debt.  Second, Tax Debt Advisors, Inc is not a law firm.  They are a tax firm that specializes in unfiled back tax returns and negotiating IRS debts.  Scott Allen EA will always share this one analogy: Your tax problem is not a “DUI hit and run”, it is a “delinquent parking ticket”.  Just as you wouldn’t find the need to hire an attorney for your parking ticket, you do not need to hire one for your back tax debt problem.  Using the services of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc will result in fees 25%-400% less then what an attorney would charge you to do the same work.

View the IRS notice attached to see what Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc was able to negotiate for his client, Mary.

 

Gilbert AZ IRS tax attorney

Gilbert AZ IRS tax attorney

Mary was going through a very difficult time when she first came in to meet with Scott Allen, EA.  She was newly divorced and had discovered that she was entangled in an IRS nightmare that her ex-husband left her to deal with.  As you can see by the notice she was behind on several back tax returns that needed to be filed with the IRS.  She didn’t know how to where to make quarterly estimated tax payments.  And, the IRS was threatening to place a levy on her only source of income.

Scott Allen EA was able to get Power of Attorney representation for Mary and put a stop to all enforcement action by the IRS. Year by year they went through the tax preparation process beginning with 2008.  They were able to get her caught up all the way through the 2014 tax return.  Along with that, Mary is also caught up on her estimated tax payment requirement for 2015.  Surprisingly, she is actually looking forward to preparing and filing her 2015 tax return as she knows she does not have to write them a big check April 15th.  This is the most important and critical step with the IRS.  If they see you making estimated tax payments they can tell that you are trying to correct the matter.  Without that being done a settlement for Mary either might not have been possible or she wouldn’t have gotten as good of a result.

Just the other day Mary called with excitement to let Scott Allen EA know she made the January 28th monthly payment on time and online!  She settled her IRS debt on a $249/month payment plan and could not be more relieved knowing the IRS isn’t going to zap her wages or bank account.

Mesa AZ IRS Wage Garnishment Prevented in 2019

The best tactic someone can engage in when dealing with a Mesa AZ IRS wage garnishment is to be proactive with it. Contact the IRS before it happens. Let me give you an example:  Michael had not filed tax returns in 14 years and owed the IRS over $200,000 in back taxes. Someone might think this is an ideal case for the IRS to “throw the hammer” and garnish wages or levy bank accounts. If Michael was reactive this would be the case. But, because he hired competent honest representation he was able to protect his wages and negotiate a favorable agreement with them on his large IRS debt. View the IRS approval agreement below.

Mike is in a “Case Closed – Currently not Collectible status“. As long as he remains in compliance with his future tax liabilities he does not have to pay a dime on his back taxes.

One of his clients came in with a couple unfiled tax returns and the IRS garnishing his retirement income (yes, the IRS can garnish your retirement or social security income).  They were taking his money and applying it to a tax debt on his 2009 tax return that he had never filed.  Actually, the IRS filed it for him giving him no room for expenses or deductions.  As you can see they took over $6,000 of his income to a debt that should never have been there in the first place.  What did Scott Allen EA do?  To sum it up he was able to get an IRS power of attorney authorization to represent him, contact the IRS to “gather up the facts”, prepare and file his missing returns, and get a stop to the garnishment.  Lastly, he was able to get the IRS to refund the money back to him within a reasonable period of time.

John came into the situation four years behind on his tax return filings.  Before a settlement was able to be negotiated all four tax returns had to be filed first.  In the initial contact with the IRS, Scott Allen EA was able to pull any and all records they had on John as far as, W2’s, 1099’s, stock sales, mortgage interest, etc. This is to match the IRS records with Johns’s and also to make sure they don’t forget to report any income activity the IRS knows about.  This drastically reduces the odds of getting audited. Once all that information was compiled they went through the preparations one year at a time. While this is being accomplished Scott Allen EA had also secured a hold on all collection activity.  Next, they began the process of a payment plan settlement.  With the payment plan intact the IRS will not file any levies or garnishments against any bank accounts or paychecks.
