Do I Need a Chandler AZ IRS Tax Attorney to file for Innocent Spouse Relief?

No, this is not a legal matter.  You do not a Chandler Arizona IRS Tax Attorney.  You need an IRS resolution professional with expertise in filing for Innocent Spouse Relief.  There are certain conditions that must be met before the IRS will grant relief to an innocent spouse.  Here they are:

  • You must not have benefited financially from the income that was not reported or false deductions taken on a joint return.
  • You must be able to prove that you did not know that your spouse was filing incorrect returns that were filed jointly.
  • The IRS has increased the amount due shown on the jointly filed return.
  • If you live in a community property state, a married filing separate return will be considered as long as the innocent spouse included their portion of the offending spouse’s income on their return.

An innocent spouse can be relieved of tax, interest and penalties due to the willful errors on the return of the offending spouse.  Please be aware that the IRS will contact your spouse to “get their side of the story.”  So just making claims that cannot be substantiate will not work.  Remember that the IRS can come after you for the full amount due on a jointly filed return.  Scott Allen E.A. near Chandler AZ has expertise in determining, applying for, and getting innocent spouse relief.  Contact Scott today at 480-926-9300 and schedule a free consultation to see if you qualify for this important IRS program.

Do I Need an IRS Attorney in Mesa AZ to get my IRS Penalties Reduced?

No, getting your IRS penalties reduced is not a legal matter?  When the IRS reduces your penalties it is called penalty abatement.  This can best be done by filing an appeal with the IRS Appeals Office.  Another option is with the Taxpayer Advocate Office.  It is best to have a consultation with Scott Allen E.A. (who is not a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney) to validate your reasons for making a legitimate appeal or find out right up front that your appeal will be denied.  Scott may be able to come up with better reasons, that are true, that will give you the greatest chance of having your IRS penalties reduced.  Penalties can grow very quickly.  For example, the IRS will penalize you 25% of the tax due for filing just five months after the due date.

An Appeals hearing is requested by filing Form 843.  Generally speaking, Appeals Officers are much more lenient than other levels at the IRS such as collections or IRS auditors.  It is important to have some proof of your claim, so keeping paper records such as medical records is critical.  Remember, the IRS Appeals Office has heard every lame excuse.  I think these guys have lunches with traffic cops to compare excuses.

Call Scott Allen E.A. for a professional opinion regarding your request to have IRS penalties abated.  Scott can be reached at 48-926-9300 and you first appointment is a free consultation.

Do I file an IRS Offer in Compromise?

First, an Offer in Compromise (OIC) is not a legal matter with the IRS and you don’t need to be represented by an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney.

One must “qualify” in order to petition the IRS to accept a payment for less than they owe.  This applies to the tax owed and the penalties and interest that have been added.  The IRS must be convinced that a taxpayer owes more than they could pay back in a reasonable period.  Most IRS tax advisors use the term, “ever pay back,” but that is not true.  Some clients of Scott Allen E.A. have been approved for an OIC and years later could have paid back the full amount as their financial situation greatly improved.

Scott Allen E.A has expertise in the IRS OIC program.  The IRS will base an acceptable OIC when there is doubt as to collectability, doubt as to liability, or in cases deemed “Hardship.”  OIC can be filed for individuals, married couples, and individuals from a divorce that created the tax liability.

The IRS instituted the OIC program to collect as quickly as possible the highest amount available at the lowest cost to the U. S. government.  The second purpose is to allow taxpayers to resolve their indebtedness and begin paying taxes in the future when due.  It is critical that you use an expert in IRS resolutions as they apply to the OIC program.  Offers can take several months to get a determination and filing an offer that will ultimately not be accepted is a big mistake as interest and penalties will continue to add to the debt and there will be an extension of time added to the statute of limitations for the IRS to collect the debt.

Call Scott Allen E.A. for a free consultation to determine if an OIC is your best option.  Many times it is not the best option.  Scott can be reached at 480-926-9300.

The IRS Doesn’t Allow Second Chances?

Unfortunately the IRS is like life—it doesn’t offer second chances.  When one phase of life is over we must accept what follows.  That acceptance is best done by reconciling ourselves to the realities we face.  Two “secrets” to becoming reconciled to the challenges of life are  distraction and creativity.  The ability to adjust our thoughts away from adversity with appropriate distractions and to seek outlets for our creative abilities, allows us to go on living even if there is little hope for improvement.  It is the combination of reconciliation, distraction and creativity that allows us to find real enjoyment out of life’s short lived pleasures.

 

Life has its measure of sadness to be sure, but it is a sadness we can handle, and from that sadness will come wisdom from pursuing appropriate actions.  One purpose of life is to pass that wisdom on to the next generation.  If they can make just one less error than we made, then there is hope that our children may have a little better life than we had.  Can we really expect any more out of life than this?

 

When you have a serious IRS problem, you want to get it right the first time.  Don’t allow life’s simple pleasures be taken away because you think your IRS matter will never be resolved.  May I suggest you consult with Scott Allen E.A. regarding your best option to solve your IRS debt.  There are several to choose from and it is critical to make the best choice because, as the title of this blog says, “The IRS Doesn’t Allow Second Chances.”  Scott Allen E.A. can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Let Scott put your mind at ease.

How Taoism can help you deal with Mesa AZ IRS Problems?

Those in Mesa AZ with an IRS Problem

Here a Taoist tale with the unusual title, Good fortune rests upon disaster.  Disaster lies hidden within good fortune.  Who knows the standards?

 

There is a story of a farmer whose horse ran away.  That evening the neighbors gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck. He said, “Maybe so, maybe not.”  The next day the horse returned, but brought with it six wild horses and the neighbors came exclaiming at his good fortune.  He said, “Maybe so, maybe not.”  And then the following day, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the wild horses, but was thrown and broke his leg.  Again, the neighbors came to offer their sympathy for the misfortune.  And he said, “Maybe so, maybe not.”  The day after that, conscription officers came to the village to seize young men for the army, but because of the broken leg the farmer’s son was rejected.  When the neighbors came to say how fortunately everything had turned out, he said, “Maybe so, maybe not.”

 

 

This Taoist tale tells us to overcome our tendency to make rash judgments about our current situation in life.  This would include having a serious problem with the IRS.  This Taoist belief is called emptying the mind, or sitting and forgetting.   Most of our suffering in life is caused by our conceptions, which predispose us to see the world in particular ways that disrupt our ability to respond appropriately.

 

Before you jump to any incorrect conclusions about your problem with the IRS, you should seriously consider having a consultation with Scott Allen E.A.  Scott knows the best option to settle your IRS tax debt.  Scott can be reached at 480-926-9300.  You will only talk with Scott and he will put your mind at ease.

Arizona IRS and state tax help: State Payroll Tax Problems?

An Arizona IRS Tax Attorney?

No, state payroll tax problems are not a legal matter so an Arizona IRS or tax attorney is not required.  Arizona, like most states is under stress financially to operated state government functions.  Many states are running large deficit spending.  For this reason Arizona aggressively enforces collection action against businesses that are behind on filing their payroll tax returns and payment of payroll taxes.

The Arizona Department of Revenue has the authority to file state tax liens and seize property as well as take away driving privileges.  If you are delinquent in the filing or payment of Arizona payroll taxes, contact Scott Allen E.A. who has expertise in negotiating settlements with the Arizona Department of Revenue.  Scott provides a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.

Scottsdale AZ IRS Help: Represent me for my appointment with an Appeals Officer

Scottsdale AZ IRS Tax Attorney for IRS help ?

This is not a legal matter and you don’t need to pay an expensive Scottsdale AZ IRS Tax Attorney to represent you.  You have a choice to either represent yourself or have an Enrolled Agent (E.A), a CPA, a Scottsdale AZ IRS Tax Attorney, or your tax preparer represent you.  The best choice is the one that does this work successfully on a regular basis and charges a fair fee.  When you use a representative, you will need to give them an IRS Power of Attorney—IRS Form 2848.

The meeting will be held at the IRS for your Appeals hearing.  The Appeals process is not a formal procedure.  You will generally meet in a small office.  There will not be any one present except you and the Appeals officer.  No recording of the procedures is done by the IRS.  You do have the right to record the procedures as long as you let them know in advance but this is not necessary if you are being represented.  It may even make negotiating a favorable settlement less likely.  The Appeals Officer would not want to come off as being soft if the recording were played before their manager.

Scott Allen E.A. has successfully represented many clients at Appeal hearings and will be able to accomplish what you need done at a fair fee.  Contact Scott at 480-926-9300 to arrange a free consultation to determine what your best strategy to settle with the IRS for less than what you owe.

Do I Need a Mesa Tax Attorney to Qualify for Currently Not Collectible Status?

No, qualifying for Currently Not Collectible Status (CNC) is not a legal matter and doesn’t require a Mesa Tax Attorney.  However, you probably will need an IRS representative like Scott Allen E.A. to get your current payment plan reduced to no payment.  The IRS is reluctant to put a taxpayer on an IRS installment arrangement into a zero payment plan.  There are steps needed to be taken before requesting the IRS to accept no payment.  It is not just a matter of filing new financial statements.

It should be remembered that penalties and interest still accrue when you are in CNC status.  Mesa tax attorneys are necessary to file a tax motivated bankruptcy but you are better off using an Enrolled Agent like Scott Allen E.A. who can successfully complete this procedure at a fraction of the cost of an Mesa Tax Attorney.  Call Scott Allen E.A today for a free consultation at 480-926-9300 to see if you qualify for a CNC status.
