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.

IRS tax help for the Arizona Construction Industry

Arizona IRS Tax Help

There is only on germ or virus is more contagious than any other to the construction industry—that is virus of bad IRS advice pass amount your own peers.  If you want accurate information that you can rely on get it from a professional in another field that specializes in that subject.

Most construction professionals get into trouble with the IRS due to bad advice, especially in the areas of independent contractor/employee issues, the structuring of their business, and what they can take as business and personal deductions, and the lack of making no estimated tax payments towards current year tax liabilities or claiming exempt on their W-2 withholdings.

We can help Arizona construction industry professionals in the following specialties:

Electricians, Concrete Workers, Plumbers, Roofer, Dry Wall and Plaster Workers, Architects, Inspectors, Project Managers, Landscapers, Painters, Glazers, Framers, Tile and Flooring Workers. 

Why is the IRS making the construction industry a target for IRS audits?  First, is the lack of filing tax returns.  The construction industry has the lowest compliance rate among all the professions.  Second, lack of making tax payments in the form of estimated taxes or having withholdings on W-2’s wages.  Employers in the construction industry typically want to pay their workers as if there were independent contractors.  Hence, no withholdings are being paid by the employers and the workers fail to pay estimated taxes.

If you receive a notice of being audited by the IRS—take it very seriously, get professional help.  If one year has significant changes that produce additional revenue to the IRS, it is highly probably that the audit will be expanded to other years.  The IRS knows that bad practices regarding IRS matters are very contagious in the construction community.  Call me today for a free initial confidential consultation.

How long does the IRS have to collect taxes on an SFR or Substitute for Return? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

IRS Substitute for Return

The normal period of time for the IRS to collect on a tax debt is 10 years.  However, the time does not start until an assessment has been made.  For example, if the IRS did a substitute for return for the year 2013 in 2018, the 10 year period would end in 2028, not 2023.  The date of assessment is not when you signed or mailed in the return, it is when the IRS posts the tax liability which can be several weeks or months later.  There are actions you can take that will extend the time period know as the Statute of Limitations.  These include filing a bankruptcy, Offer in Compromise, signing a waver, etc.  Taxpayers are allowed to file back tax returns any time after the IRS files an SFR tax return to lower the tax liability but the process can take up to a year to get it accepted.  If you file a return that is over three years past the due date including extensions, and no payments have been made within two years, the IRS will not pay a refund.  Call today for a free confidential consultation.

How does the IRS file substitute tax returns? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

IRS File Substitute Tax Returns (SFR)

The IRS SFR (Substitute For Return) unit will match all income reported to your social security number including W-2’s, K-1’s, 1099’s, etc.  If you last return filed was a joint return, the IRS will file an SFR as married filing separate which will put you in a higher tax bracket.  You will not be given credit for any dependents, or deductions.  Many clients avoid filing back tax returns because they have lost or never received due to a move records needed to file a return.  I am able to retrieve all the records that were report to the IRS.  Once those are available, you will be better able to locate records that will reduce your tax liability along with interest and penalties.  The hardest part is making the decision to get started.  Call me today for a free confidential initial consultation. I will be your IRS Power of Attorney representation from beginning to end.

How long before the IRS discovers I have unfiled tax returns? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

“I have unfiled tax returns…”

It may take several years before the IRS will contact you regarding unfiled tax returns.  However this works against you.  The interest and penalties on unfiled returns can double the amount you owe in just a few years.  As time goes by many records that can reduce your liability have been lost.  Your memory of what happened several years ago will fade and you will likely pay much more on your taxes if you had filed returns sooner.  Many clients miss one year and when nothing happens another year goes by and then another.  Before you know it six or seven years has passed and your tax problem will be getting more difficult to deal with each deadline missed.  There is also a serious psychological burden carried when you have unfiled tax returns.  You know that a day of reckoning will come and decisions that can be made are postponed and opportunities will be permanently lost.  Time is never on your side when you have unfiled tax returns.  By filing returns on time even if you do not have the money to pay taxes owed is far better than not filing and taking on additional penalties and interest.  Call me today for a free confidential initial consultation to get started.

What will IRS do when they find out I have not filed back tax returns? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Back Tax Returns in Phoenix AZ

Eventually, the IRS will compare income reported by 3rd party payers and match them against your social security number and prepare substitute tax returns if you have unfiled back tax returns in Phoenix AZ.  These returns allow the IRS to take action against you like liens, levies and garnishments.  Substitute returns give no credit for any deductions or cost basis which will greatly overstate the tax as well as the interest and penalties for late filing.  The IRS doesn’t punish for non-payment (1/2% per month) as much as for non-filing (5% per month).   Consider not filing back tax returns in Phoenix AZ like ignoring dealing with cancer—time will only make it worse.  The time to face non filing is now.  You will have more time to gather important tax information if you file on your own before the IRS knocks on your door.  Recently the IRS has demanded tax returns to be filed in as little as three days to avoid levies on bank accounts or garnishment of wages.   Call me for a free confidential initial consultation to determine the best way to get your back tax returns in Phoenix AZ filed and settled.

Can I appeal my IRS Audit? IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

IRS Audit in Arizona

Yes, but first you should speak to the manager of the person who did the audit.  Many times an appeal can be avoided by speaking with the manager.  In most cases you will want to have a professional speak to the manager on your behalf.  Many times it is just explaining the facts in terms that the IRS will accept.  Before I can represent you an IRS form 2848 will need to be filed with the auditor.  If the manager is unwilling to agree with me, I will file an IRS audit appeal.  Audit appeals are more willing to make compromises as a matter of expedience to keep their workload from backing up and because they have greater latitude to make concessions.  A professional representative who has worked with the Appeals Office has a greater chance of success simply because of their relationship and credibility from past appeals.

Form 8546: Claim for Reimbursement of Bank Charges Incurred Due to Erroneous Services Levy or Misplaced Payment Check

IRS Form 8546

Yes, the IRS is known for making mistakes from time to time.  When the IRS, by known mistake, levies one of your accounts and you have proof or substantial documentation Form 8546 can be filed to get reimbursed for the expense.

Is it worth filing Form 8546?  Yes, depending on the circumstances and the amount that you are asking the IRS to refund.  However, usually charges are relatively small amounts and is only going to be worth it if that taxpayer prepares and files Form 8546 on his or her own as the fee a professional might have to charge would nearly equal the amount you are trying to get refunded.

What expenses will the IRS refund?  The IRS will refund bank charges that include a financial institution’s customary charge for complying with the levy instructions and charges for overdrafts that are a direct consequence of an erroneous levy.  In addition, there are times when a taxpayer’s check may be lost or misplaced in processing.  When the IRS asks for a replacement check, the taxpayer maybe reimbursed for bank charges incurred in stopping payment on the original check.  The charges must have been paid by the taxpayer and must not have been waived or reimbursed by the financial institution. All claims must be filed within one year after the expense.

Form 8546 is a one page form with a one page instruction.  Please read the entire form before submitting and be sure your claim meets all the requirements.  Include copies of required documents.
