Abatement of IRS neglience penalties in Phoenix AZ

IRS Negligence penalties should be taken very seriously.  The IRS will file negligence penalties of 20% of the underpaid tax.  This is often a result of claiming deductions that you were not entitled too or under reported income.  The IRS will have to show that you did not exercise due diligence when you filed your tax return(s).  The IRS will only abate penalties in Phoenix AZ if you can show “reasonable cause” for the way you filed your return.  If the Phoenix AZ IRS negligence penalty was due to not filing a return and you were seriously ill and incapable of filing a return, you have a good chance the IRS will abate negligence penalties as long as you have an excellent record of filing and paying on time in the past.

Before just accepting the IRS negligence penalty in Phoenix AZ and paying it, consider a free initial consultation with Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors.  Tax Debt Advisors has been representing clients with negligence penalties since 1977.  Schedule your appointment by calling 480-926-9300.

10 Proverbs to remember if you need to Solve your IRS Debt in Mesa AZ

Proverbs reflect the accumulated wisdom, prejudices and superstitions of the human race.  Even though they come from many different lands and cultures, the ideas they express are common to all people.  We should at least be familiar with them so that when someone uses one, we will know what they are talking about.

  • Absence makes the heart grow fonder—Persons, places, or things become dearer to us when they are absent.
  • Actions speak louder than words—People are more impressed with our sincerity if we act on our beliefs than if we merely talk about them.
  • All for one and one for all—All the members of a group support each of the individual members, and the individual members are pledged to support the group.  This is best known as the motto for the three musketeers.
  • All that glitters is not gold—Things that appear on the surface to be of great value may be quite worthless.
  • All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy—A person who never takes time off from work becomes boring and bored.
  • All’s fair in love and war—People in love and soldiers in wartime are not bound by the rules of fair play.
  • All’s well that ends well—Problems that occur along the way do not matter as long as the outcome is good.
  • Any port in a storm—In an emergency, we will accept help from any source and in any place, even from an unpleasant person.
  • Army marches on its stomach, An—To be effective, an army relies on good and plentiful food.  This saying is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
  • Bad news travels fast—People are quick to discuss the misfortunes of others.
Why did I bother to share these proverbs with you?  How does this relate to solving your Mesa AZ IRS debt?  I believe that solving and IRS debt in Mesa AZ is more then just filling out forms and making phone calls.  A Mesa AZ IRS debt that needs to be solved occurs because something non related becomes such a big burden that the last things a taxpayers wants to face is paying the IRS or filing a tax return.  Once we can help our clients discover what that is then we can begin to successfully solve their Mesa AZ IRS debt and not have it reoccur again.  The favorite part of my job is seeing the relief in my clients eyes and the smile on their face when we have accomplished the victory.  To learn more about solving your IRS debt in Mesa AZ visit the main part of my website or feel free to give me a call to schedule a free initial consultation.

Phoenix AZ’s Tax Debt Advisors answers: Can I discharge IRS taxes in bankruptcy?

Can I discharge IRS taxes in a Bankruptcy and if I live in the Phoenix Arizona area?  This is the question many if not most people don’t know the answer to.

Yes, IRS (and Arizona) taxes can be discharged in tax bankruptcy?  If you have filed your tax returns and it is three years from the due date including extensions and the returns have been assessed for two years and it has been at least 240 since any adjustments, then taxes on your individual returns are dischargeable. There cannot be any fraud on your tax filings and you must qualify to file a bankruptcy.  Payroll taxes and sales taxes cannot be discharged in a Phoenix AZ IRS tax bankruptcy. Some actions such as filing an IRS Offer in Compromise or a Collection Due Process hearing will delay the timing of filing a bankruptcy.

IRS Audit Myth Number 5: By Tax Debt Advisors in Chandler AZ

If I get my refund, does that mean I will not be audited?—no, it just means that the computer system is working to mail off a check to you.  But if you are selected for a Chandler AZ IRS audit, the notice will likely come 12 to 24 months later with all the interest and penalties to be added if you filed an erroneous return.  The IRS will not hold up paying you your refund just because you have been also selected for an audit.

Five Suggestions for Happy Living Despite Having an IRS Problem, Part 15

  • Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it.  There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.  The more a man has, the more he wants.  Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one.  If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way.  That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; “Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.”—Benjamin Franklin
  • When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.  Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us!  Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our down days and nights into a hellish turmoil.—Dale Carnegie
  • Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.—Unknown
  • Forgiveness is the key to happiness.—A course in Miracles
  • Life is all one piece.  Men err when they think they can be inhuman exploiters in their business life, and loving husbands and fathers at home.  For achievement without love is a cold and tight-lipped murder of human happiness everywhere.—Smiley Blanton
