IRS tax audit strategies in Arizona. IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

 Arizona IRS Tax Audit Strategies

  • Avoid having the audit at your home.  We suggest to our clients to have the audit conducted at our office.
  • After consulting with a professional make the decision to extend the audit or not.  If an extension is requested before the dead line and you have reasonable cause, it is not a mark against you.  However, to miss an appointment that you previously extended will be a large a “red flag” as you can find.
  • Be cordial during the audit but not overly friendly.  Leave the talking to your advisor unless specifically questioned directly by the auditor.  When you answer the question do it in the fewest words that conveys the correct answer.  Look the auditor in the eyes and if you need some time before answering the question—take the time.  If you know you don’t know the answer, tell the auditor you don’t know, write down the question and ask the auditor when you can get back with the answer.
  • Allow for disagreements.  You will eventually get what you expect if you never get mad or angry.  An angry taxpayer is usually wrong.  If you cannot handle your emotions, let your representative do the talking.  Auditors know that they are creating a stressful situation and their training teaches them how to benefit from that stress taxpayers feel.
  • If you are a sole proprietor filing a schedule C on your return we recommend that you put your business in an LLC and then get IRS approval to have your LLC taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation.  I can discuss with you the tax benefits as well as the audit benefits during a consultation at my office.

Tax Evasion

Tax Evasion

Tax evasion is a crime that is punishable with asset seizure, fines and imprisonment.  The temptation to underreport income occurs with self-employed cash intensive businesses.  Tax fraud can also involve using a fake or false social security number, claiming to many dependents on your tax return and falsifying your accounting records.

Don’t assume that when you get a letter to be audited that the IRS suspects tax fraud.  Most audits generate some adjustments to the tax amount owed.  Auditors are trained to know the difference between tax evasion and honest mistakes.

If you are found guilty of tax evasion, you will not only have the tax, interest and penalties added but also the expenses of the cost to prosecute your case in court.  This situation is one in which the services of a tax attorney is highly recommended.  The attorney you select should have a majority of his or her practice with tax evasion case work.

If you suspect or know that you are guilty of tax evasion, it is best to tell the IRS right up front that you want to have legal representation.  The IRS will agree to you right to be represented by an attorney.  Who you pick to represent you is very important.  Someone who is respected by the IRS as well as the Judge will have a greater chance of reducing the chances of imprisonment.  We can recommend an attorney that you can trust and have confidence will represent you in the best possible manner.

IRS HELP BLOG

An IRS Help Blog in Mesa Arizona

This IRS help blog is to help you understand what you can get from a blog on this web site.  Frankly, it will give you only the basic outline of the subject matter covered.  On a scale of one to ten it is about a three.  If you want more information, go to our web site and find more details on the subject.  Now your at a level five.  If you want information at a level eight or higher, you will need to come in for a consultation for about one hour.  I will give you a list of things to bring with you so that our meeting is productive and gives you a course of action to follow to resolve your IRS matter.

With IRS problems, the “devil is in the details,” and without the details, it would be foolish to rely on a summary of some important IRS matter in a blog.  But blogs have a way of helping you know whether or not you have the right question.  This is a very important point.  Do not worry about getting an answer until you know you have the right question.  Too many clients come to us because they had the right answer to the wrong question.  Their tax matter wasn’t resolved and they were in a worse mess than before they started the process.

As an example, over 80% of our clients are surprised when we tell then that IRS income tax debt can be discharged in a tax bankruptcy.  The sad part is that almost as many filed a recent bankruptcy and did not get the taxes properly qualified for discharge.  They didn’t ask the right questions of the attorney who did their bankruptcy, and were not provided with all of the options to both their tax and non tax debt.  I try very hard to make sure that both your tax and non tax debt issues are considered before entering into a settlement with the IRS.

Finally, the topics we put into a IRS help blog are the most frequently asked questions we get from clients.  But that is only a start.  It is usually the questions that get asked towards the end of our initial consultation that really zero in on discovering the right solution to your IRS problem.
