My IRS Debt Keeps Going Up. Do I Need an IRS Tax Attorney (Gilbert, AZ)?

IRS Tax Attorney Gilbert AZ

Tax clients think that they will have to pay on their tax debt until their last breath.  IRS tax debts have a statute of limitations.  In other words there is a date when the tax debt will go away.  This is called the Collection Statute Expiration Date.  On this date your tax debt goes away.  Generally the IRS has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect the tax due.  You do not need to take any legal action thru a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney to get this information.  There are also many tax settlement options that can reduce or eliminate the tax debt before the statute runs out.

To evaluate your options, contact Scott Allen E.A. with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. for a free consultation at 480-926-9300 to see where you stand.  You may find that you can move forward in your life much sooner than you previously thought.

The most important thing to remember in letting your IRS debt expire is to file and full pay your current and future taxes on time.  As a tax professional Scott can file any and all tax returns to keep the IRS off your back until your IRS debts expire.  An IRS Tax Attorney Gilbert AZ typically isn’t the best option for tax preparation as their line of work is on legal matters.

IRS Tax Penalties: Can they be removed?

Be Leery of Promises of Tempe AZ IRS Tax Attorneys to remove IRS Penalties

The only penalties that always get removed or lessened occur automatically when you file an amended return that shows a lower balance due or when you file a return to correct an IRS substitute for return and the tax due is lower.  You do not need any resolution work to lower the penalties.  If a taxpayer has had a “track record” of always filing on time and has a good reason for missing a filing deadline such as an illness, the taxpayer can request that the penalties be removed after any tax liability has been paid in full.  If the taxpayer has a habit of filing late, it is unlikely the IRS will removed penalties.

To remove penalties, the taxpayer files IRS form 843 and requests a refund of the penalties previously paid.  The IRS will want to see that there was a reasonable cause and not willful neglect.  Other probable causes for requesting a refund of penalties paid could include hospitalization, incarceration, severe depression, or serving in the military and out of the country during the time the return or the extension needed to be filed.  A Tempe Arizona IRS Tax Attorney can do this work but it is not necessary.  An Enrolled Agent or a Certified Public Accountant can file the necessary paperwork for you if you need assistance.  It is always best to consult with a professional before filing the paperwork to determine if you have a unique enough case to get penalties removed.

Other than the reasons mentioned, it is unlikely to get penalties removed.  This is especially true for returns that are filed years after the due date.  Most legitimate reasons would apply to the current year only.  In seeking penalty abatement, it is not necessary, nor will it increase your chances of success to use an IRS Tax Attorney in Tempe AZ.  If you would like a free consultation to see if your penalties can be removed, call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300.  He will be able to provide additional information not included here that will increase your chances of getting penalty abatement for legitimate reasons.

IRS Lien has ruined me credit score: Now what!?

Do I Need a Chandler Arizona IRS Tax Attorney to Save My Credit Due to an IRS Lien?

An IRS tax lien will definitely lower your credit score and can prevent you from buying a home or purchasing a vehicle.  Banks will charge you a higher rate of interest on loans if you have a tax lien or not make the loan at all.  Those that will loan you money will charge you “loan shark” rates of interest.

If an IRS tax lien notice is filed, you have 30 days to file a Collection Due Process Appeal to explain why the tax lien should never have been filed.  If you miss this deadline, you always have the option of doing an IRS lien subordination.  This IRS procedure is usually done in conjunction with taxpayers who have equity in a home and want to get a loan from a bank.

Whatever your situation, contact Scott Allen E.A. for a free consultation at 480-926-9300 to see what options you have to deal with an IRS tax lien.  You can count on Scott’s expertise in this area to provide you with all of your options and help you choose the one that is best.  If you have already met with an IRS Tax Chandler, AZ Attorney please consider me for a second opinion.  If you haven’t met with a Chandler, AZ IRS Tax Attorney yet please call me FIRST for you second opinion.

IRS Tax Debt and Confidentiality

Do IRS Tax Attorneys in Gilbert Arizona Provide a Higher Level of Confidentiality?

All IRS resolution experts are required to keep confidential any information disclosed to them whether they be a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney, Enrolled Agent (E.A.) or CPA?  The only time this becomes critical is in the matter of criminal cases.  An IRS Tax Attorney in Gilbert, AZ has “attorney client privilege.”  This means that if you have committed a criminal act, the IRS Tax Gilbert Attorney is allowed to keep information confidential.

The problem comes when less than 1 out of 10,000 clients that we have seen over the last 45 years has committed a criminal act and should retain the services of a Gilbert, AZ IRS Tax Attorney.  Yet when our clients have talked to a Gilbert Tax Attorney, the attorney always mentions that they have attorney client privilege as if that is needed in your case—which is almost never.  So why pay two or three times as much for something you don’t need.

If you scheduled a free consultation with Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 he can tell you if you have committed a criminal act and need the services of an IRS Tax Attorney in Gilbert, AZ.  If that is the case, he will be able to refer you to a Tax IRS Attorney Gilbert, AZ that specializes in the tax representation area you require.

My Husband Left Me With IRS Tax Debt. Do I Need a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney?

Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney or a licensed Enrolled Agent:

This situation is not a legal matter and does not require a Phoenix AZ IRS tax attorney.  The most common removal of the IRS tax debt is to file for innocent spouse relief.  Many wives find out that they owe large amounts of money to the IRS after their divorce or the death of their husband.

Often times the husband has not reported income or taken deductions that are disallowed by the IRS.  As long as the income was attributable to the actions of the husband and the wife did not benefit financially from this action, she can be relieved of the tax debt.  In other words, if the wife has a new car and a nice home from the bogus actions of her husband, she has benefited from his action and the wife would need to either sell the home or trade in her vehicle for a lower cost one to qualify for injured spouse status.

If the wife has been divorced or living apart for the last 12 months, the wife has 2 years to elect to file as married filing separately.  This allows the wife to be taxed only on the money she earned and not the income that was not reported to the IRS.

Scott Allen E.A. can help you sort through your scenario to see if you qualify for this tax procedure.  He is available for a free consultation at 480-926-9300.  Scott is not a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney but rather a licensed Enrolled Agent here in Arizona.

Why use Scott Allen, E.A. with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc?

Who should be your Arizona IRS Representative?

  • E.A. stands for Enrolled Agent.  Enrolled Agents are authorized to represent clients in all 50 states.  Attorneys and CPA are only able to represent themselves to clients as Attorneys or CPA’s in the states that they are licensed.
  • An E.A. or Enrolled Agent must pass a rigorous test regarding their knowledge of tax law.  The Bar exam given to Attorney’s has almost no requirements for tax knowledge.  The same is true of the CPA exam.
  • IRS agents and IRS officers are known as “bill collectors” and are hired to get the largest payment or settlement they can—that’s their job.  Scott Allen E.A. is there to make sure you get the smallest payment or settlement allowed by law.
  • It can be very intimidating working with IRS agents and officers.  With Scott Allen E.A. you will be put at ease regarding your IRS problem and know that it is being handled by a competent IRS representative.
  • Many IRS employees are incompetent or only willing to do the minimum amount of work to keep their manager off their back.  You need IRS representation to keep your IRS agent or officer “on their toes”.  Scott Allen E.A. can request a conference with your IRS agent or officer if he senses that he is getting the “run around”.  That is something most taxpayers are unable to detect.
  • Not always but occasionally IRS agents or officers will take advantage of your lack of IRS procedures and policies.  IRS agents or officers know that an Enrolled Agent is knowledgeable of IRS procedures and policies.
  • Most tax preparers including CPA’s are not experienced in working with IRS resolution work.  Scott Allen E.A. expertise is in resolving IRS problems.

Don’t put your head I the sand.  It is only a matter of time before the IRS catches up to you.  Put time on your side by contacting Scott Allen E.A. today at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation and put your mind at ease.

New IRS Offer in Compromise rules and changes

IRS Offer in Compromise rules

Important changes to the IRS’s Offer in Compromise Program (Form 656).  IRS Tax Problem help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. here in Mesa, Arizona

Offer in Compromises have become increasingly tough to get the IRS to accept over the last 10-15 years.  Most taxpayers made too much money or had expenses too high that the IRS does not accept.  In previous years the IRS multiplied your monthly available income by either 48 or 60.  As of recent years the IRS has changed those numbers to 12 and 48.  This is a huge difference in Offer amounts the taxpayer would be required to pay to the IRS for their past tax debt.  Call and talk with me, Scott Allen, E.A. and schedule an appointment for a free consultation to discuss your IRS (or state) debt.   While the old Offer in Compromises rule didn’t work for you in the past, find out today if you will qualify under the new IRS Offer in Compromise rules.

Can the taxpayers handle their own IRS problem case?

Taxpayers always have the option of representing themselves before the IRS.  However, many if not most find dealing with the IRS frustrating, time consuming, intimidating or all of the above.  Below I will list a handful of key things to consider before representing yourself before the IRS.  Often times even an hour consultation with a tax professional can go a long way.

The taxpayer does not have the professional expertise to know what the options are or how to get the lowest settlement allowed by law.

4 out of every 5 Offer in Compromise’s filed by the taxpayer are rejected by the IRS.

Many taxpayer negotiated Offer in Compromise’s offer the IRS much more then is required by law.

The taxpayer may be too frightened, frustrated or intimidated by the IRS to effectively or comfortably negotiate a settlement.

Most taxpayers are far happier to keep their distance from the IRS and prefer to leave the sparring to their advisors.  Still, dealing with the IRS is not always as painful as thought.  In fact, most IRS officers are reasonable and helpful, especially when they see the taxpayer is making a good honest effort to resolve his or her tax problem.

The taxpayer may slip up and inadvertently make statements that can make the problem worse-perhaps triggering an audit or even criminal investigation.

Professionals know where to draw the line.  The taxpayer can make a statement that can create tax liability for his or her spouse or business associate.

The taxpayer takes valuable time away from his or her work and family to wrestle with his or her own case.  Many business owner’s and busy employee’s will always appreciate paying an experienced professional to handle their case timely and stress free.

Call me, Scott Allen, EA to discuss if hiring a professional is necessary for you.  I offer a free initial consultation.
