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.

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.

Arizona’s Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.—Is IRS Penalty Abatement Possible?

IRS Penalty Abatement Scottsdale AZ

Arizona IRS penalty abatement is not only possible but must always be considered before entering into a settlement option.  The IRS has over 100 penalties that they use to encourage compliance to file of tax returns on time and making prompt payment of amounts due.  Penalties can exceed the amount of the actual tax in some cases.

The IRS will abate penalties is you can prove “reasonable cause.”  Having an excellent past track record of filing and paying on time will help your case immensely.  Rarely is interest on the tax debt abated but the interest on the amount of penalty abated will be eliminated.  Often you will have to take your case to the IRS Office of Appeals in Arizona to be successful.

IRS penalty abatement almost always requires professional assistance.  Scott Allen E.A. near Scottsdale AZ will evaluate your chances of success.  Call Scott today at 480-926-9300 to schedule a free initial, in office, appointment

Call Scott Allen E.A. if you want to reduce Glendale AZ IRS Penalties

Glendale AZ IRS Penalties

Reducing your Glendale Arizona IRS penalties is called IRS penalty abatement.  The IRS gets thousands of letters from taxpayers each year asking the IRS to “please take off the penalties and interest and I will pay the tax.”  These letters are all ignored because they are not sent to the right department and do not provide legitimist reasons for abatement.  These are like letters sent to Santa Clause except the IRS does not send you what you want when it comes to IRS penalty abatement.

The best way to make your arguments why penalties should be removed is with the IRS Appeals Office.  The Appeals Officer will look at your history of filing and paying taxes on time.  If you have a good tax history and have a good reason why you should be granted penalty abatement, the Appeals Officer will give you an impartial decision.  Scott Allen E.A. has the expertise to advise you in advance whether the Appeals Office will give serious consideration to your request.  Scott Allen E.A. offers a free consultation about Glendale AZ IRS Penalties and can be reached at 480-926-9300.
