Call Scott Allen E.A. of Phoenix AZ to lower your IRS Tax Liability

Scott Allen EA for your Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Liability

Here is a simple checklist to review to see if your IRS tax liability is correct:

  • Get an IRS record of account and verify that all of your payments have been credited to your account.  The IRS does on occasion misapply payments.  Also sometimes your check did not clear the bank and you were unaware.
  • Always designate where you want payments to be applied if you do not want the payment applied to the oldest tax year that has a balance due.  If the IRS has applied your payment to the incorrect tax year, you can call them and get it corrected.
  • The best way to lower your IRS tax liability is to make sure each tax debt is from a filed return.  If the IRS has filed a tax return it is called a substitute for return and Scott can file a correct return and in most cases get the tax debt reduced.
  • The second best way to lower your IRS tax liability is to have Scott Allen E.A. near Phoenix AZ review your current return and see if it needs to be amended for deductions that were overlooked.
  • The third best way to lower your tax liability is to see if penalty abetment is warranted.  Scott has expertise in filing IRS form 843 if you have a legitimate reason to get your IRS penalties reduced.

Scott Allen E.A. provides a free consultation for Phoenix AZ neighbors to evaluate whether you can lower your IRS tax liability.  Call Scott at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

View the letter below from the IRS showing what Scott did for his client Evan. He was able to lower his Phoenix AZ IRS tax liability by $9,000 on his 2018 taxes. If you are uncertain about the way your tax returns were prepared you have three years to amend them.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for IRS Substitute for Return (SFR)

What to do if the IRS files a Substitute for Return filing

If you fail to file, it is only a matter of time before the IRS will file a Substitute for Return.  This is the IRS method of assessing a tax so that they can collect from your wages or bank accounts even though you have not filed a return.  The IRS can levy your wages or garnish your bank account even if you would not have owed on a return had you filed it on time.

As you would guess the IRS prepares the return in the most negative way possible.  Not because they want to punish you, but because they don’t know what your filing status is or number of dependents and deductions or expenses you are entitled too.

The good news is that the IRS will allow you to file a correct (or original) return to reduce the liability.  The bad news is that if your correct return shows a refund and it is more than three years delinquent, the IRS will not pay you the refund or allow you to use it against other IRS tax debts owed on other years.  The IRS will not allow you to discharge taxes in bankruptcy on a tax return filed as a Substitute for Return either.

Contacting  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. of Arizona if you have back tax returns to file gives you the best chance of getting the best settlement possible with the IRS.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc in Arizona  has resolved over 113,000 IRS tax debts.  Call  today to schedule a free initial consultation at 480-926-9300.  Now is the time to act and Scott Allen E.A. is the right choice.

Scott Allen EA was able to assist Daniel in protesting the IRS Substitute for Return filings they did for him on some back tax returns. After getting the tax liability as low as possible Scott negotiated a low monthly payment of only $85/month. See the IRS approval notice below.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problems Solvers to Minimize IRS Tax Debt on Back Taxes

Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers

If you have not filed for several years it is likely the IRS has filed Substitute for Returns better known as SFR’s.  To minimize the IRS tax debt it is imperative that you file a correct return within three years of the due date or you will lose any refund.

The reason that a correct return will minimize the IRS tax debt is that the IRS is unaware of what you are entitled to deduct on your return.  This would include but is not limited to the following:

• Filing status
• Number of dependents
• Mortgage interest and property taxes on your home.
• Auto license fees
• Medical expenses
• Charitable donations
• Cost basis of any stock sales
• Business expenses

Debbie was a taxpayer who met with Tax Debt Advisor’s Inc – Mesa Arizona’s top IRS problem solvers. They were able to get the old and newer IRS debt negotiated into a currently not collectible status (CNC). Her debts from 2008 & 2009 will expire soon so it is just a matter to letting the clock run out on those. With her CNC status the IRS cannot pursue any collection activity against her. Job well done!

IRS audit reconsideration in Arizona: IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

What is audit reconsideration and when should I file for one?   

A taxpayer can file for audit reconsideration in Arizona when you want the IRS to examine your return again.  The reasons you may want the IRS to open your return for a second time include: information that would have reduced your tax liability on the original return is now available, the IRS did not process the return you sent in to replace an IRS SFR return, or there were errors by the IRS in the original assessment of tax.

You should not file for audit reconsideration if you signed an audit report, if you agreed to an Offer in Compromise for the year(s) in question, if you signed an agreement with IRS Appeals or had a determination from Tax Court regarding the assessed liability.

Audit reconsideration requires a written request along with any documentation that was not previously taken into consideration with the original assessment.  Once the IRS is “reconsidering” your return, you must: continue making payments on your installment arrangement.  If the audit reconsideration fails, you still can file an appeal.  We have found that the longer you pursue your efforts, the closer you get to “Santa Claus.”  But you must be a “good boy” and have reasonable proof of your position.

Below is a recent audit reconsideration in Arizona that was handled by Scott Allen EA. It was for a 2012 tax return. As you can see it originally have a balance due of $43,871. Upon submitted proper information provided by the taxpayer he was able to get $20,000 of the IRS debt reduced.  Don’t go about audit reconsideration on your own. For these type of cases representation is usually in your best interest.
