IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ and Saved $171,000.00

Mark’s IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ

Mark was behind on several years of back taxes and owed more to the IRS then he could ever imagine paying back. After Scott Allen EA got him filing compliant by preparing all of his back taxes Gilbert AZ it was time to make a determination on his best settlement option. His income had dropped substantially, he was getting up there in age, and had no assets to speak of really other then his modest vehicle. Scott Allen EA knew he could negotiate all this debt into a low monthly payment plan (say $300 a month or so) and just ride out the ten year statute of limitations. However, Mark didn’t want the IRS hanging over him for that long. Scott Allen EA continued to evaluate his complete financial status and wanted to let Mark know about the IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ program. The IRS OIC program is a real solution but he cautions everyone that very few people ultimately qualify for it for a number a various reasons. They might have too high of income. They might have assets with available equity. They may have filed many back taxes Gilbert AZ too recently. They may not be making proper estimated tax payments and/or proper W2 withholdings. They may not be able to come up with the down payment or lump sum if the IRS accepted an OIC. Settling a $191,000 for $20,000 is a fantastic deal and almost everyone would take that, but if a taxpayer does not have a way to come up with the $20,000 there is no reason to apply for an OIC to begin with. Long story short, it is important to sit down and speak with your IRS power or attorney face to face before submitting an IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ.

Mark saved over $171,000 with his IRS Offer in Compromise Gilbert AZ

Stop Mesa AZ IRS Levy

Jonah and the whale—A story about an Old Testament prophet who refused to accept his divine mission and left on a sea voyage.  God caused a storm and the sailors threw him overboard in an attempt to save their ship. Jonah was swallowed by a whale for three days and vomited out on dry land.  Grateful that his life was spared, Jonah took up his mission from God.

There are some parallels between Jonah and many of our Mesa AZ IRS levy clients. If you consider the whale to be the IRS, many of our clients refuse to accept the fact that they have to deal with the matter until it becomes a crisis.  Until they are in the so called “belly” of the IRS—under a wage garnishment or Mesa AZ IRS levy or seizure of assets—they have chosen to ignore their IRS problem.

If you are in a situation where you now recognize that you need professional help to stop your Mesa AZ IRS Levy, call Scott Allen E.A. for an immediate free initial consultation.  Scott Allen E.A. can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Scott is an experienced expert on stopping IRS levy or IRS wage garnishment as quickly as possible.  He give the highest priority for clients in a crisis or levy situation with the IRS.

See how Scott Allen E.A. was able to stop Mesa AZ IRS Levy for his client Thomas. Thomas owed back taxes for ten different tax years totaling more than $200,000. His payment plan entered into default territory and he received ten letters from the IRS all in the same day that stated, “intent to levy”. Scott Allen E.A. was able to step in for him as Power of Attorney, pause collection activity and get his payment plan agreement back on track for him. View a copy of his IRS letter below.

IRS Tax Attorney in Arizona: When should I NOT use an attorney?

IRS Tax Attorney in Arizona: When should I NOT use an attorney?

Tax Attorney Phoenix | Mesa, Tempe, Chandler Scottsdale

If you are searching for “tax attorney“, “tax lawyer“, “IRS tax lawyer“, “IRS attorney“, “tax attorneys“, “IRS tax attorney“, “tax attorney near me” or “best tax attorney” in PhoenixMesaChandlerGilbert, Tempe or Scottsdale, Arizona, Scott Allen E. A. from Tax Debt Advisors can help!

Even the best tax lawyers & attorneys can’t compare to what Scott Allen E. A. can offer to help settle your problems with the IRS. First of all, lets take a look at what a tax attorney does.

What Is A Tax Attorney?

A tax attorney is a layer who specializes in tax law. They can help solve legal, technical and complex problems with the IRS.

What Does A Tax Attorney Do?

A tax attorney solves legal, technical and complex problems with the IRS. Tax attorneys can also help with:

  • Filing appeals of tax court decisions
  • Communication with the IRS
  • Help businesses save money
  • Help people take advantage of tax credits

However, these are all things a tax debt advisor could do for less money! Read more about why you need a tax debt advisor instead of hiring a tax attorney.

Can A Tax Attorney Really Help?

Yes, a tax attorney can really help if you want to pay more money for the same services a tax debt advisor can do for cheaper.

Why You Should I Tax Debt Advisor Vs. Hiring a Tax Attorney?

Tax Debt Advisors have great experience in settling debts with the IRS. Choosing a tax debt advisor instead of a tax attorney offers many benefits including:

  • More affordable services
  • Tax attorney typically charge 100-400% more for the same services a tax debt advisor could do
  • Tax debt advisors don’t use fear tactics to make you think the situation is worse than it is
  • Settle debt faster with simple tax debt solutions

We are not a tax attorney firm, rather, a tax debt specialist with expert knowledge in tax law that can help you solve complicated IRS problems & tax debt issues that would normally require a tax lawyer.  Contact Scott Allen with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. 480-926-9300 to help you get right with the IRS today! Don’t hire a tax attorney! Instead, why not hire an affordable Tax Debt Advisor who has been helping customers dealing with tax issues since 1977, and has helped solve over 113,000 tax debts.

Why Hire A Tax Attorney In Arizona?

Believe it or not, you actually don’t have to hire a tax attorney in Arizona when dealing with the IRS. Instead why not hire a Tax Debt Advisor who can do the same thing as a tax lawyer and who has been helping customers dealing with tax issues since 1977. His father and Scott Allen E.A. from Tax Debt Advisors has helped over 113,000 people settle their problems with the IRS and can help guide you through any tax situation you may be dealing with, including:

Why You Don’t Need A Tax Attorney

Here are the reasons of why you don’t need a tax attorney:

  • If you are making a decision full of fear and think you need a tax attorney for other than criminal or fraudulently filed returns, you will be seriously disappointed.  Attorneys are able to generate income by perpetuating fear.  Most of our clients who started with an attorney and switched to us mentioned always being intimidated with fear that something bad would happen if… and that if always is followed by another big retainer fee.
  • IRS resolution work is not rocket science.  It is common sense work that improves over time because of relationships established with the IRS and understanding their idiosyncrasies.  Attorneys will often scare clients into thinking that their legal training is necessary for a successful resolution.
  • Many clients think that they will get what they pay for and base the quality of the work on the amount they pay.  In most cases, an attorney will charge anywhere from 25% to over 400% more for the same exact service.  If you go for a consultation with an attorney consider getting a second opinion by calling me for a free initial consultation.  I love these appointments.

When To Hire A Tax Attorney?

A Tax debt advisor can help with almost everything a tax attorney can except criminal charges. If the IRS is pursuing criminal charges against you, you will need to hire a tax attorney.  Tax fraud and tax evasion are 2 of the most common reasons for an IRS investigation. IRS investigations are serious: 80% of defendants that go through a criminal investigation are sentenced to prison. This is one situation where a tax debt advisor cannot help you, you will have to hire a tax attorney.

Why You Should Hire An Enrolled Agent Vs. Hiring A Tax Attorney

View our recent blog postWhen is an IRS tax attorney in Phoenix necessary and when isn’t it?

1. Your tax problems might not be that bad – It doesn’t take a tax lawyer or rocket scientist to work with the IRS. Furthermore, legal training isn’t a necessity to handle most tax issues. Also, tax attorney’s will try to scare you into thinking that legal representation is necessary. That is not true! Let Tax Debt Advisors help solve your tax problems without instilling fear or requesting huge retainer fees for our services.

2. Get a 2nd Opinion – Some tax customers think that paying a higher fee will give them a higher quality services. That is false! Tax attorney commonly charge 400% more for the same services a tax debt expert can handle. There is literally no difference in the process besides you paying more money. We are not saying it is a bad idea to talk to a tax attorney but you should get a second opinion as well. At Tax Debt Advisors we offer free tax consultations.

3. Don’t Make A Decision Based On Fear – Do you think you need a tax attorney because you filed fraudulent tax returns, you might be disappointed. Tax lawyers generate income based off of fear. Most of our tax clients started with a tax attorney, only to find out that they try to intimidate you into thinking you have a bigger tax problem than you do. And, that’s almost always followed by a big retainer fee.

Feel Confident With Experienced Tax Representation

When I have looked back over the years, the one common factor in bad decision making on my part, is when I was overly influence due to fear.  I love the quote from one of the Star Wars movies that explains how Anakin became the evil Darth Vader—the quote, “It was fear that pushed me to the dark side.”  If you have already had a consultation with an attorney ask yourself one question, “Did he reduce my level of fear or just use it to get what he or she wanted?”  A good representative will always leave you feeling better, not fearful.  A great representative will focus on the 99% that can go right and the wrong ones will focus on the 1% that almost never happens.  When you are trying to decide if you need representation from an attorney consider taking the time to get a second opinion from me.  I know you will be glad you did!

Do I need a Gilbert Tax Attorney to file an IRS Audit Reconsideration?

Gilbert Tax Attorney

No, a Gilbert Tax Attorney is not needed as this is not a legal matter.  It is an IRS procedure to correct a substitute for return prepared by the IRS or the results of an audit—usually an audit that you did not attend or have representation in attendance.  An IRS Audit Reconsideration will require the taxpayer to provide tax records to substantiate their position.  The Audit Reconsideration is for tax matters the IRS has not previously considered.

If you have a tax matter that needs to be re-evaluated by the IRS, the IRS Audit Reconsideration program is an excellent procedure to consider.  Scott Allen E.A. has expertise in providing representation on IRS Audit Reconsideration cases that will give you the best chance of eliminating or lowering the tax balance owed.  Rather than calling a Gilbert Tax Attorney call Scott Allen E.A. today at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation regarding your options to take advantage of the IRS Audit Reconsideration program.

Thad was a victim of an IRS Audit – Substitute For Return. The IRS assessed a tax year and sent him a $49,000 tax bill. Rather then consulting with a Gilbert Tax Attorney he discussed his matter with Scott Allen EA. Scott gave him the peace of mind that he could resolve the matter and reduce the tax bill to the proper amount owed. Scott Allen, a tax preparer near Gilbert AZ prepared the tax return and submitted the protest to the IRS. As you can view from the IRS notice below, the protest was accepted and $26,000 of tax, interest, and penalty was removed. Don’t pretend you can fight the IRS alone. Get it done right and right the first time with Scott Allen EA.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Statute of Limitations Issues

Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers

It may take four to six weeks after you file your returns for the IRS to assess the tax due including interest and penalties.  The date of the assessment starts the 10 year statute of limitations clock.  Once the statute expires, so does the IRS tax debt and the associated interest and penalties.  There are certain actions that can extend the statute such as filing an Offer in Compromise.

If you feel you have a Mesa AZ IRS tax debt that has been in collections for a long time, it is possible to get information from the IRS that will tell you exactly when the tax debt will expire.  Scott Allen E.A. has the expertise to advise you of all of your options to take advantage of having your IRS debt in Mesa Arizona expire under the statute of limitation rules.  Scott Allen E.A. offers a free initial consultation.

Scott Allen E.A. will often get asked if negotiating an IRS installment arrangement will add time to the statute of limitations. No, agreeing to an installment agreement for an old IRS debt will not add more time to the clock. That is exactly what was negotiated for Nicole and her ten years of back taxes owed ranging from 2009 thru 2019. Upon a detailed financial analysis Scott Allen E.A. knew he could negotiate a low $202 per month payment plan knowing full well that the debt will not be paid off before it expires. The IRS knows this as well. She will pay the $202 per month towards her back tax debt until they expire or get paid off (whatever comes first). Scott Allen E.A., one of Mesa Arizona’s top IRS problem solvers sees this happen all the time. This is why it is important to look at all the rules and options first before selecting one. View the IRS settlement agreement below for Nicole.

Stopping Mesa AZ IRS Garnishments since 1977

What do I do when I have Mesa AZ IRS Garnishments on my wages?

This is about the most shocking thing the IRS can do to get your attention.  That is what the IRS is trying to go with Mesa AZ IRS garnishments.  They really don’t want to take your paycheck but because you have neglected all their letters and notices, now they want you to know they mean business.  If you have not filed any Mesa AZ back tax returns, now is the time to do so.  By filing correct returns, you may even reduce the liability the IRS says you owe.  Filing all of your past tax returns is referred to at the IRS as being in compliance.

Every day counts when your wages are being taken.  Not always, but often times it is possible to file all of your returns and get a release on Mesa AZ IRS garnishments before you next paycheck.  So make the most of every day. Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors has the expertise to prepare your returns within 24-48 hours and immediately contact the IRS to start the release process.  The amount you owed the IRS will determine the amount of financial information you will need to provide.  Scott Allen E.A. of Mesa AZ offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

See what Scott Allen EA did for his client Michael to stop Mesa AZ IRS garnishments. He was able to settle his four years of back taxes owed into one monthly payment plan of $680/month. This agreement was negotiated so that the IRS would NOT file a tax lien either. A tax lien becomes public information and Michael did not want this.

Mesa AZ IRS Problems no more

If you have serious Mesa Arizona IRS problems, unfiled tax returns or owe the IRS more than you can pay back, who should you use? Think for a moment before continuing to read further.  Who should you use?

The answer to this question might surprise you, but it is the first question you need answered before seeking help in dealing with the IRS.

If you have cancer you should see an Oncologist that specializes in your type of cancer.  But you certainly would not call an Oncologist unless you have cancer.  This analogy applies to Mesa AZ IRS matters.  The only time you need the services of a tax attorney for a tax problem is when you need attorney client privileges.  This is only needed when you have committed a criminal act.

Listen to this…In 45 years, Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has resolved over 113,000 IRS tax debts, using the Offer in Compromise program, payment plans, tax motivated bankruptcy, non-collectible status, or expiring the tax debt using the statute of limitations.  Not one of these cases required the need for a Mesa Arizona Tax Attorney.  None of these clients committed a criminal or fraudulent act.  Not filing or paying your taxes is not criminal.  Not one of our clients have had their home seized or faced jail time.  It just doesn’t happen in real life situation.  The IRS would rather just work out the matter and move on…AND SO WOULD I.

These tax settlement options are NOT CANCER.  They are options that require the services of the best person in your local area that has performed these services consistently for several years.   Tax Attorneys have a way of using fear and intimidation to scare potential clients into over paying for Mesa AZ IRS resolution services that can best be done by an Enrolled Agent. In the 45 years we have been in business we have referred only 4 clients who had tax CANCER (committed a criminal act).  You would be upset if a cancer doctor told you that you had cancer, when all you had was a severe sore throat…but got billed for curing cancer.

In the vast majority of cases, you have a serious “sore throat,”  you are not in “stage 4 cancer”.  So rather than over pay, consider having a free initial consultation with Scott Allen E.A. first.  If you need the services of a  Mesa Arizona tax attorney, Scott will be the first one to refer you to one who specializes with your particular need.

If you have unfiled tax returns, Scott Allen E.A. can prepare the returns within 24-48 hours of having all of the information needed file the back tax returns in Mesa AZ.  Call Scott Allen E.A. today and save yourself the expense of using a “cancer doctor” when all you have is a sore throat. Schedule your appointment today to meet with Scott by calling 480-926-9300.  Let him be your Mesa Arizona IRS Power of Attorney!
See a recent accomplishment by Scott Allen EA for his client Matthew. Scott helped him settle his “sore throat” caused by an IRS audit that he didn’t initially respond to.  As you can see, over $11,000 in taxes, interest, and penalties were reduced thru the audit reconsideration process. It took a bit of time from beginning to end but victory was accomplished. This is just one of thousands of successes by Scott Allen EA.
