With Tax Debt Advisors, Inc you will be introduced to the many different available options right up front.

Brent came in to meet with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc wanting to settle his IRS debt in an Offer in Compromise. He see’s it advertised on the TV and radio daily and knew he must do that. However, during a consultation with Scott Allen EA he learned the real truths about an Offer in Compromise and found out at this time he isnt going to qualify. Brent needed to negotiate a payment plan.  That is exactly what Tax Debt Advisors, Inc did for him.  After that process was complete penalty abatement was applied for as well. Guess what? The IRS accepted penalty relief on his 2009 tax return. That is a tax return with a due date over seven years ago. This IRS penalty abatement request saved Brent over $6,200 in IRS debt.

Arizona IRS Payment Plan for $25 a month

Is a $25 a month Arizona IRS payment plan even possible?

When someone sits down to meet with Scott Allen EA about an Arizona IRS payment plan the first thing they want to know is, what percentage with the IRS settle my debt for? This is really not the right question to ask. The IRS does not settle IRS debts in a payment plan or offer in compromise within a certain percentage range. They base a settlement on your current financial information. Typically the last 3-6 months if you are an employee and potentially the last 6-12 months if you are self employed. This is why is it extremely critical to have the right professional represent you before the Internal Revenue Service so that you can properly gather up all your financial information in the most advantageous (and legal) way possible.   Planning in advance is key!

Ken is a great example of planning in advance to maximize his results.  In the very first meeting he would have laughed at the idea of the IRS accepting a $25/month payment plan.  However, if you click on the image below you can view the accepted Arizona IRS payment plan. This isn’t to say you can qualify for the same or even a similar agreement but it does say that Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors will negotiate for you and get you the BEST POSSIBLE IRS SETTLEMENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW. Options can include, a non collectible status, payment plan, offer in compromise, tax motivated bankruptcy, innocent spouse, SFR protests, or battling your case with appeals.

What is a Levy & How To Get It Released?

What Is A Tax Levy & How To Get It Released

If you are wondering “what is a tax levy” and “how do I get a tax levy released” this post should help! Furthermore, if you live anywhere in the Phoenix Metropolitan area in Arizona, Scott from Tax Debt Advisors can help you get your levy released.

What Is a Tax Levy?

A levy is the action of legalized seizure of one’s property for the purpose of satisfying tax debt. Unlike liens, levies are different. Whereas a lien is the legal claim on a property for securing tax debit payment, a levy takes the property for satisfying tax debit.

Where does the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) authority to levy originate from?

Levies are authorized by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for collecting delinquent taxes. Reference IRC 6331. Any property or the right of property belonging to the delinquent taxpayer, or which a Federal tax lien is able to be levied, unless the property has been exempt from a levy by the IRC.

Prior to issuing a levy, what actions are required by the IRS?

Typically, the IRS only issues a levy after the following three requirements have been met:

  1. Tax has been assessed by the IRS and a Notice and Demand of Payment (invoice) has been sent;
  2. You have refused or neglected to make payment;
  3. A Final Notice of Intent to Levy was sent to you, and you were informed with a Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (the levy notice) a minimum of 30 days prior to the levy being issued. This notice may be delivered by the IRS in person, left at your home or workplace, or mailed to the last known address using registered or certified mail and a return receipt request.

Note: The IRS is also allowed to issue a levy on state tax refunds as well. In this case, you might be sent a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, along with a Notice of Your Right to a Hearing after your refund is levied.

When is a levy issued by the IRS?

In the event you do not pay your tax or make other arrangements for settling debt, the IRS can determine the next appropriate action is issuing a levy. A levy can be issued by the IRS for any property you own or right to property you have an interest in. For example, the IRS is able to levy a property which is yours, but held by another person (such as retirement accounts, wages, bank accounts, dividends, rental income, licenses, accounts receivable, cash loan values of commissions or life insurance, etc. Otherwise, the IRS is able to seize and sell property which is held by you, such as house, boat, or cars.

How Can I Release a Levy?

Upon receiving the IRS notice of the levy, you should contact the IRS right away to resolve any tax liability and request for a levy release. In addition, the IRS is able to release a levy when determining the levy is resulting in immediate economic hardship. If the release request is denied by the IRS, you may request an appeal on the decision. You can file an appeal before or after the levy is issued on your bank account, wages, or property. One proceeds from the levy has been sent to the IRS, you may file claim to request they be returned. If denied, you may submit an appeal on the decision of returning the levied property. The following is a full explanation of your rights to appeal: Publication 1660, Collection Appeal Rights (PDF).

In the event the following are determined, the IRS is required to release the levy:

  • The amount owed has been paid
  • The collection period ended before the levy was issued
  • A levy release will help you pay delinquent taxes
  • You make Installment Agreements and the agreement terms do not allow the levy to remain active
  • Economic hardship is caused by the levy, which means the IRS determines issuing the levy will prevent you from being able to meet basic and reasonable living expenses.
  • The property value is higher than the amount owed, and a levy release does not affect the ability to collect the owe amount.
  • Note: a levy release does not indicate you do not have to pay the balance amount due. You are still required to pay your balance amount, and should contact the IRS to make arrangements for resolving tax debt or they can reissue a levy.

Gilbert AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

Settle over $55,000 of IRS debt in a Gilbert AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

Applying for a Gilbert AZ IRS Offer in Compromise is one of several different options to settle a debt with the IRS. Anthony came in to meet with Scott Allen EA to discuss all available options. You can read more on those settlement options by clicking here. Anthony first needed to get himself into compliance. There are two key components to compliance. First, all tax returns need to be filed. The IRS will throw out any settlement if this is not done. Also, only you do one settlement for all IRS debt. Second, to offer up a settlement with the IRS you have to have proper withholdings if you are an employee or be making quarterly estimated tax payments if you are self employed. Anthony is self employed so we set him up on making those estimated tax payments.

After these steps an evaluation was done on his current financial status. Everything was looked at from his income and expenses along with his debts and assets.  It was determined that he could be a strong candidate for an offer in compromise. This is actually rare because most people that have an IRS debt are not a candidate for several reasons. Common reasons for not qualifying for an offer include too high of household income, too many assets, or “luxury” expenses being paid out.

The application process was started, information was compiled, and an offer was proposed.  The Gilbert AZ IRS offer in compromise was submitted for $2,172.00. Yes, that is a settlement of about 4 cents on the dollar. The offer was submitted in May 2016 and accepted by the Internal Revenue Service August 2017.  It is the norm to have offer in compromises’s take 12-18 months to be approved.  View Anthony’s acceptance letter below. Congratulations Anthony!

2017 Phoenix IRS Settlement

View a 2017 Phoenix IRS Settlement by Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

Today is August 4th and we just received notice of a 2017 Phoenix IRS settlement accepted by the IRS.  Robert, a current client, was behind on a few years of tax returns in addition to the old back taxes owed. Over the course of several months Scott Allen EA prepared the unfiled tax returns for 2012 through 2016. This client was in the middle of a financial hardship. He was laid off from his previous employer, receiving unemployment, and searching for new employment. On top of all of that, the IRS was on his back.

Through proper procedures Tax Debt Advisors was able to navigate their way to a resolution. A currently non collectible status was negotiated with the IRS to cover his old tax debts. The exciting part of this all is that 90% of his total liability will expire with the IRS in just over two years from now.  If he can ride out this settlement for two years Robert will not have to pay a single dime on his old debt with the IRS.

Currently non collectible status may not be the right solution for every taxpayer.  Not every taxpayer will qualify for it either. For some it is a permanent solution and for others it is only a temporary solution until they get their life back on track. Have a consultation with Scott Allen EA at 3155 E Southern Ave #101 Mesa AZ 85204 to determine which of the five or six different settlement options may be right for you. After Scott Allen EA has gotten you caught up with your back taxes and settled your IRS debt he can also be your “regular” tax preparation guy moving forward. He will do everything he can to make sure you stay in compliance with the Internal Revenue Service so your agreed settlement does not default.

10 Things to Remember When You Owe the IRS

10 Things To Remember When You Owe The IRS

The Restructuring and Reform Bill of 1998 for the IRS was a law that really put respect for the taxpayers back into the system. It forces the IRS to actually communicate with the public and grant due process rights to the taxpayers.

Below are 10 things to remember when you owe the IRS

When the IRS comes to collect, eventually you will have to face the music. If you begin to play games with a tax collector, the system has been designed to make your life horrible. Below are some important things to remember when you owe the IRS:

1. Don’t Ignore the IRS notices.

Most people will get into more trouble than bargained for just because they ignored the notices from the IRS. Some IRS notices are sent through certified mail, if you believe that you can ignore the notices by not going to pick them up, then you are wrong. Respond to the IRS each time.

2. The IRS has to explain your rights during your IRS interview.

The IRS Collection Process that was revised in 2015 states that you have the right to be represented and you have the right to be treated in a courteous and professional manner. If you don’t like how you are being treated, then you can stop that interview and ask to talk to a supervisor.

3. Before going to the IRS, spend time with a tax expert or accountant

This may be the best time that you have spent in a while. An expert will let you know how you could prepare to meet for a tax interview, how you should act, and make you aware when a revenue officer is trying to take advantage of you. Just remember the Revenue officers job is to collect money for the government. Furthermore, hiring professional bookkeeping and accounting services can help you avoid ever having problems with the IRS in the first place.

4. Never go to the IRS alone.

Collection interviews aren’t fun and you need representation. Chances are that you will have better results if you have representation.

5. The IRS isn’t Infallible.

The IRS was actually audited by the General Accounting Office and it looks like the IRS needs a bit of cleaning up. Often times, the IRS can’t track how much you actually owe, especially if you have been making regular payments. The IRS can make mistakes, so don’t take their word for everything.

6. You have due process.

The IRS can’t just take your home, bank account, business, car, or even do wage garnishes without making sure that they have given you a notice or an opportunity to challenge the IRS. When you challenge the IRS, everything stops.

You can take the IRS to court and they can’t collect until the judge makes a decision. You can tie their hands for years. The IRS isn’t going to tell you what to do or how you can protect yourself.

7. You are a possible innocent spouse.

Are you separated, widowed or divorced? Do you have tax issues that came from any former spouse? You may state yes, then you could get relief for being an innocent spouse. This could cause your whole tax bill being wrote off.  There are states that offer this as well.

8. If you don’t pay, you won’t go to jail.

No one will go to jail for owing taxes. You can go to jail for cheating on your taxes and you can go to jail for tricking a tax collector, but you can’t go to jail because you owe the IRS and your unable to pay.

9. You have options when you owe the IRS.

People who owe taxes whether to their state or the IRS, will have options. If you owe and can pay in full, then do so. However, if you can’t pay in full, 4 options may be for you:

  • Hardship suspension. This allows the IRS to temporarily leave you alone. Your account will be reviewed over time and even though the IRS leaves you alone, interest is accruing on the account is compounded daily.
  • Installment payments. The IRS will let you may monthly payments. The IRS will want the bill paid off in 3 years. You will need to fill out a financial statement and pursue a bank loan. Interest will accrue and is compounded daily.
  • It isn’t for everyone, but sometimes you could discharge your tax bill with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Other chapters let you pay the bill off with monthly payments with no interest or little interest. Bankruptcy rules are complicated so talk to an attorney who understands tax and bankruptcy laws.
  • Offer in compromise. The IRS will accept the payment of a smaller sum for a large tax debt. Some states have similar procedures. If you do this and its accepted, all of your tax liens will be removed and you can start over. You need to talk to an attorney who specializes in tax laws.

10. Respect the tax collector power.

IRS tax collectors have more power than most in the federal government. They have very little rules. They can make life easy or miserable. Most success when dealing with a tax collector is done with communication in a prompt manner. They can do these items if you don’t pay your taxes:

  • Levy your bank account
  • Close your business
  • File a tax lien against you
  • Garnish your wages
  • Damage employment and business relationships
  • Seize and sell your home
  • Put you in a monthly payment plan that is too high
  • Assess you personally for corporate employment taxes
  • Go after third party transferees
  • Contact your friends, bankers, neighbors, and any relationship for business about tax liabilities.
