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

View our most recent blog postWhen is a Phoenix AZ IRS tax attorney necessary and when isn’t it?

Your tax issues may not be as bad as you think – It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or tax lawyer to work with the IRS. Legal training is not necessary to handle most tax problems. Although, tax attorney will scare you into thinking the representation is necessary. Let Tax Debt Advisors help you solve your tax problems without the fear or the huge retainer fees.

To Get a Second Opinion – Most tax clients think they will get a higher quality service if they pay more money. However, that is not true. Tax attorney can charge up to 400% more money for the same service a tax debt advisor can perform. If you are already speaking with a tax attorney, get a second option as well. We offer free tax issue consultations.

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.

Stop IRS Levy in Phoenix

What is one way to stop IRS levy in Phoenix?

First off, there are many options to stop IRS levy in Phoenix.  The quickest but not always easiest way is to pay the liability in full. Now why would someone want to do that?  Well, if they know they owe the tax, have assets or income to justify paying the debt off it could be in their best interest to do so. If a tax lien has not been filed against your credit; full payment will prevent that. If you are under a levy, the levy will be release immediately.

However, for those of us that cannot full pay the liability or doubt the IRS’s claim in tax debt owed their are other options.  Agreeing to a monthly payment plan will also stop IRS levy in Phoenix.  Depending on your proposal and size of IRS debt will determine the length and complexity of the process. Financial information most likely will need to be provided to substantiate your income and expenses. To get help with a payment plan negotiation to stop (or prevent) an IRS levy contact Scott Allen EA with Tax Debt Advisors.  This is exactly what he did for his client mentioned in the notice attached below. Ron came in to meet with Scott to discuss the IRS levy notice he received.  Working together they were able to put a stop of the IRS levy, file some back tax returns and get a payment plan with the IRS setup.

Tax Debt Advisors recent success

Looking for success in resolving your tax debt? Call Tax Debt Advisors

Tax Debt Advisors is a locally and family owned practice here in Mesa AZ.  Started in 1977 the company is on its second generation of IRS debt help service. When dealing with an IRS matter, whether it be tax preparation, settling IRS debt, or navigating through unfiled tax returns your top priority should be finding the right fit in a local company. Beware of out of state companies advertising IRS resolution work making false promises up front before knowing anything about your case.  Only pay for services as they are to be performed rather then large up front retainers.  Tax Debt Advisors breaks up the resolution process into three steps and you only pay for the work when it is to be accomplished one step at a time.

Nathan, a client of Tax Debt Advisors had existing tax liabilities, unfiled tax returns, and threatening letters of wage garnishment. Upon getting started Scott Allen EA was able to get in contact with the IRS, hit the pause button on any levies or garnishments, and begin the tax preparation phase.  After he got Nathan caught up on his back tax returns then they could move onto the third phase; the IRS resolution phase. Based upon his current financial state he qualified for a currently non collectible status. What does that mean? Nathan does not have to pay a dime on his back tax returns because he cannot afford to do so.  View the notice below to see the IRS acceptance letter.

Could Nathan qualify to settle his IRS debt in an Offer in Compromise? Yes he could and would probably qualify but he does not have the means to save up or borrow to afford the lump sum settlement offer. But, if his situation changes he could qualify and submit an offer with the IRS at a later date. It is important to know about all available options before starting a negotiation.

Phoenix AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

Completed and approved Phoenix AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

Congratulation to Michael on his successful Phoenix AZ IRS Offer in Compromise. The process took about 14 months from start to finish but when you can settle your $445,000 IRS debt for about $22,000 in total it would be considered a great day. That is the kind of day Michael had. The IRS will consider an Offer when the amount offered represents the most they can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.  A reasonable period of time to the IRS varies in each individual case but its typically the remaining amount of time left to collect the debt. The IRS has a ten year period to collect a debt from when the tax return was filed.  Each tax year will have its own expiration date.  It important to understand that not everyone qualifies for an IRS offer and it may not be the best available option for everyone either.  What if Michael’s IRS debt was only 9 months away from expiring? Scott Allen EA would not have prepared and submitted an IRS offer. He would have negotiated a non collectible status or minimal payment plan and let the debt expire. It would have been a easier and cheaper option for him all around. Because Michael still had 7.5 years left remaining on his statute they elected to go the Phoenix AZ IRS Offer in Compromise route.

Mesa AZ IRS CP2000 Audit

Getting the right help with a Mesa AZ IRS CP2000 Audit.

First off, what is a Mesa AZ IRS CP2000 audit? This is the most common for of an IRS audit. More CP2000 notices get sent out each year then probably just about any other audit notice. A CP2000 notice occurs when you file your tax return and what you report does not match up with what was reported to the IRS.

Example: You file your tax return with your W2 income and your capital gain income, but by mistake to forget report the money you withdrew early from your 401k.

When a scenario like this happens you will get a letter from the IRS letting you know they know about the early distribution from your 401k with a proposed amount of taxes owed.  From here you have a couple options.  You can accept and pay the additional taxes, you can protest their position, modify their assessment, or file an amended tax return.  Just because you get a Mesa AZ IRS CP2000 notice does not mean the IRS is always right. They could be applying the additional tax bill incorrectly or your retirement company could have issued an incorrect statement by mistake.

At the end of the day a CP2000 IRS notice is not the end of the world. You have plenty of time to challenge it or work out a payment arrangement on the additional taxes owed. If you find yourself opening up a Mesa AZ IRS CP2000 notice it could be best to have an Enrolled Agent represent you to walk you through the process. Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors specializes in helping taxpayers with their IRS problems whether it be an audit, unfiled tax returns, or dealing with collection matters. Below is a picture of a recent success by Scott Allen EA in challenging a clients CP2000 notice. Through the preparation of an amended tax return filing he reduced the IRS assessment by about $3,000 of tax, interest, and penalty.

Why did I get an IRS CP11 Notice?

IRS CP11 Notice

A CP11 Notice gets sent to you when they make changes to your tax return because they believe there is a miscalculation of some sort.  The amount of tax has increased because of these changes.


Call Tax Debt Advisors at 480-926-9300 to get help with your CP11 notice.


Having an accountant contact the IRS for you? Allow someone else to contact the IRS for you by using Form 2848.

What can you do about your CP11 notice? What options are available to you?

Looking for information for CP11A Notice or CP11M Notice?

  • First, read the notice carefully.  Don’t be afraid to read it 2 or 3 times to be sure you are understanding it correctly and not overlooking something.
  • If you agree, pay the amount in full by the notice date.
  • If you agree but cannot pay in full. A payment arrangement can be worked out.
  • If you disagree, contact the IRS within 60 days either with the phone number on the notice or by mail.  Always follow up 2-4 weeks later if you dont hear back from the IRS after responding to them.
  • If you don’t respond the IRS will asses the changes to your account and after 60 days have gone by the only option to protest the changes at that point is to file an amended tax return or audit reconsideration.

[gdlr_tab title=”CP11 Notice FAQ”]

How do I find out why my I am getting a CP11 notice?

Contact the IRS to find out why you got this notice.

What if I feel the changes aren’t correct?

If you do not agree with the changes the IRS made to your tax return, you need to contact them in writing within 60 days of receiving your notice and they will reverse the changes as long as you can justify the reversal. If you cannot provide information that confirms your reversal the IRS will submit your case for an audit. This seems scary but will give you formal appeal rights, which included rights to appeal the IRS’s decision in court before you pay the tax. After the case is forwarded, the audit division will contact you in 5 to 6 weeks to give you a full explanation of your rights and the audit process. If you do not contact the IRS within 6 weeks of receiving your CP11 notice, you lose all of your rights to appeal the IRS’s decision.

What do I do if I can’t afford to pay the full amount?

The IRS will allow you to make an installment agreement. However, it does cost to set up an agreement and totally depends on your income but is no higher than $200.

Is interest involved with the agreement?
You do not have to pay interest of your installment agreement as long as you pay the amount you owe by the date on the payment coupon. Although, interest will start to accrue after the payment coupon date.

Are there any penalties for not paying the full amount?

Yes, there are late penalties if you can’t pay the full amount specified in your CP11 notice. Although, if you contact the IRS soon enough they may be able to remove the penalty.
