Tax Debt Advisors help—What is an Offer in Compromise?

Tempe AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an offer to pay less than what you owe to the IRS and receive a complete settlement of all past tax debts, including interest and penalties.  The OIC program is only one of several ways to settle your Tempe AZ tax debt for less than what you owe.  IRS Form 656 and Form 433-A are the OIC accepted forms for individuals.  IRS Form 433-A Worksheet calculates the amount that needs to be offered.  The terms and conditions of the OIC include filing and paying on time your taxes for the next five years.  If you cannot file your individual tax return (1040) by April 15, you must request an automatic extension and file and full pay by the extension deadline.  The IRS approves only a small percentage of the offers submitted.  In 2004 only 16% of the OIC’s were accepted.  In 2010 the percentage was 24%.

It is a big mistake to file an OIC unless you are fairly certain you will have acceptance.  Interest and penalties continue to accrue as well as the statute of limitations.  If it takes the IRS 2 years to reject you OIC, you will come out of the process in much worse shape than when you submitted your OIC.

Tax Debt Advisors is next doors to Tempe AZ and has the experience to properly calculate and submit an OIC with a high degree of success.  Tax Debt Advisors has been assisting clients on Tempe AZ IRS problems for over 45 years.

What do you need to know about the Scottsdale AZ Audit Reconsideration process?

Audit Reconsideration should be used as a remedy when:

• The IRS assessed additional tax from an audit, or

• A return was prepared by the IRS called a Substitute for Return (SFR).

The audit reconsideration process in Scottsdale Arizona allows the IRS to “reconsider” the taxpayer’s documentation.  If you have already paid the tax liability in full, you may file an amended return on IRS Form 1040X.

The IRS will “reconsider’ if:

• You are able to submit information that was not taken into consideration that would result in lowering the tax owed.

• You filed a return after the IRS filed a substitute for return (SFR).

• You believe the IRS made an error in their calculations of taxes or penalties or interest owed on your tax debt.

• Tax credits were denied.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors is available for a free initial consultation about filing for an Arizona IRS Audit Reconsideration.

Know if You Should File a Collection Due Process Appeal

If you file a Collection Due Process Appeal, you will effectively put a hold on any IRS action to collect the tax debt until you have a hearing with an Appeals Officer.  In most cases this is the proper action to take to make sure you have time to present a settlement option that will be in your best interest. However, there are times when filing a Collection Due Process Appeal will do you more harm than good.

Two examples of when you would not want to file for a CDP Appeal are when you want the statute of limitations to run out or you want to discharge your tax liability in bankruptcy.  The CDP Appeal affects the 3 year rule and 240 day rule with regards to when a bankruptcy can be filed to discharge your tax debt.

An Arizona IRS resolution professional can provide essential advice in this area.  Contact Scott Allen E.A. of Mesa AZ at 480-926-9300 to schedule a free initial consultation.  The decision of whether to file a CDP Appeal is too important to make on your own.  Your success in settling your IRS problem will depend on taking the rights steps that provide you the right settlement option.

Gilbert AZ IRS Audit

  • When you have answered an Auditors question—shut up.  Auditors know that taxpayers are uncomfortable with “silence.”  Remember the one who talks first after you have answered the question LOSES.  That may sound a bit blunt to put it in these words but it is critical to a successful Gilbert AZ IRS audit.
  • Remember the Auditor is not your friend.  They are aggressive bill collectors no matter how friendly they may sound in your meeting.  When you get the bill from the auditor you will realize that they are masters at making you feel they are on your side.

Arizona’s Tax Debt Advisors provides Successful IRS Audit Representation

Mesa Arizona IRS Audit Representation

It is almost inevitable that sometime your individual return or small business return will be audited by the IRS.  It doesn’t matter how careful or legitimate your return is prepared; the IRS computers can select you for a Mesa AZ audit.  The IRS will issue an audit notice within three years of your filing so it is important to keep your records at least three years.  If the IRS can prove that you have under-reported income by 25% or more the IRS has more time in which to audit past returns.

Select a competent Mesa Arizona tax representative that will attend the audit with or without your presence.  You will have to give your representative an IRS power of attorney to represent you.  The initial audit will usually result in what you expect but not always.  Taxpayers can take their case to IRS Appeals where there is more latitude on what the IRS will or will not accept what was claimed on your return.

This summary cannot advise you of what you need to do to prepare for a successful audit in Mesa AZ.  Contact Scott Allen E.A. for a free initial in office consultation.  During your appointment you can decide if you want representation with the audit or with the Appeals office.  Scott will not take you case unless it is in your best interest.  Call 480-926-9300 to schedule your appointment.
