Common IRS Audit Adjustments in Arizona: IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

IRS Audit Adjustments in Arizona

Auditors will consider all deposits to your bank account as income. Keep records of gifts from parents, refunds on returned merchandise and other similar transactions to show the auditor why that item was not income.
The most common audit adjustment comes from mileage claimed on the return. If I ever have a client who is audited on mileage that actually has a mileage log that they kept concurrently, will then be able to say, “I have seen everything, now!” Taking actual expenses may be the best way to go if you want to be able to substantial your automobile expenses.
Personal use items. This would be like claiming you use your vehicle 98% for business purposes. That means that you almost never shop for food, take a vacation, go to church, visit friends, or go to the movies. Unless you are Howard Hughes, make your % something reasonable. Believe it or not almost all of my clients who have one car, when I ask them what percent they used the vehicle in the business, the first time, will say “100%.” This extends to home office expense as well. One client tried to convince me he lived in his back yard so he could deduct all of his housing expenses on his schedule C. If you have one phone and it is a cell phone, allocate a reasonable amount for personal use.

Errors of the kind mentioned will almost always lead to other years being audited. If have been really out of line you might even get yourself put on the IRS Auditors bulletin board that has this heading—If You Need An Audit To Impress Your Manger Call (your name and phone number)—just kidding, but sometimes it feels that way.

Arizona IRS help: Discharge Taxes in a Bankruptcy

Can Taxes be discharged in Bankruptcy?

Discharging taxes in bankruptcy is real. But it is difficult to locate a professional who knows the rules and can document the filing of the returns so that they will be included in your bankruptcy. Here is the best advice you will ever find regarding discharging taxes in bankruptcy.

Step one. Contact me regarding qualifying your taxes in bankruptcy.
Step two. Contact a bankruptcy attorney who can determine if you qualify to file a bankruptcy.
Step three. If step one and step two have been done correctly, your taxes will be discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Here is what the typical client that comes into our office tells us:

I went to ABC Bankruptcy and filed a bankruptcy and none of my taxes were discharged. How come?

Here is what I tell them:

Very few attorneys understand discharging taxes in bankruptcy. They know how to file bankruptcy and if you qualify they will take your money and list the tax years you want to have discharged. The reason your taxes were not discharged is that they did not qualify under the 2 year or the 3 year rule—the returns must be filed for 2 years and it must be 3 years since the due date for filing the return.

Mr. Client, if you had waited another 3 weeks, 2 months, 1 year, (some period of time) all of your taxes would have been discharged when you filed your bankruptcy. Unfortunately your attorney either didn’t know that or didn’t care.

Attorneys know that if you walk out of their office without paying for a bankruptcy, it is unlikely you will go back after coming to someone like me. We will tell you when to see the attorney and give you the paperwork that shows the date your taxes are dischargeable in bankruptcy.

That is the plain and simple truth—there is no rocket science unless you go to the wrong professional. Call me today for a free initial confidential consultation so that your discharge of taxes will be successful.

IRS Tax Bankruptcy in Arizona: IRS help from Scott Allen, E.A.

IRS Tax Bankruptcy in Arizona

IRS discharge in bankruptcy—Why residents of Arizona should consider filing a bankruptcy to settle their IRS debt.

When you cannot qualify for an Offer in Compromise
The IRS is not the decision maker. The Bankruptcy Code supersedes the IRS code.
Bankruptcy is often less costly than entering an installment arrangement
When you have debts other than tax debts—both are taken care of when you file a bankruptcy
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you pay the IRS zero!
Many individuals qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy even with a high income
If you don’t own a home, the tax lien that survives the bankruptcy doesn’t affect you negatively

I will help you analyze all tax settlement options at the same time so that you are confident you made the right choice. Call today for a free initial confidential consultation about an IRS tax bankruptcy in Arizona.

IRS payroll tax audits in Arizona: IRS help from Scott Allen, E.A.

Arizona IRS Payroll Audits

Payroll tax audits are conducted to:

Verify that all money paid to employees is being reported to the IRS.
Verify that workers are being correctly classified as employees rather than independent contractors.
Verify that employers and employee are filing all required returns.
Making sure withholdings for Social Security and Medicare are being correctly reported and paid in on a timely basis.

Arizona IRS payroll tax audits close down more businesses than any other IRS action. If you lose here the tax assessed against the business will eventually be assessed against you as the owner. These taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

The IRS gets leads from business competitors, ex-employees and other government agencies such as Unemployment Offices. Take Arizona IRS payroll tax audits seriously. In fact I tell my clients that if they cannot pay their payroll taxes, they don’t have a business. Do not fool yourself into thinking that you can “borrow” by not filing and paying your employees withholdings. The interest and penalties are more than even profitable businesses can afford. You would have more luck going to the casinos than not paying your payroll taxes on time to save your business.

How to avoid an IRS audit in Arizona? IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

Avoid IRS Audit for Arizona Residents

Use a tax program. Manually prepared returns are pieces of paper begging for attention.
Don’t believe all the advice that shows up on the internet and news shows during tax filing season. Some of the advice I have heard would actually increase the likelihood of being audited.
Extend the filing of your return. I have yet to have a client come in for an audit that filed a return right before the October 15^th deadline. Of course the return has to be filed correctly.
Report all income that the IRS knows about. That would include all W-2’s, 1099’s and K-1’s—especially the ones that your thought were not going to be reported to the IRS.
Avoid the home office deduction. I have literally had to charge some clients more for the preparation of this tax form than the benefit they were getting. The home office deduction is rarely worth the tax savings and the risk of an audit. If you have a home office deduction that amount to $1,000 and you are in a 15% tax bracket the savings is only $150.

But if you do get audited, get professional help. It will pay for itself each year you file in the future and minimize your exposure for the year or years being audited.

Why am I being audited by the IRS in Arizona: IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

Why am I being audited by the IRS

The most common reasons include:

If you are self employed and deal in cash such as restaurants, hair salons and contractors, you are in a high risk of audit situation. The obvious reason—it is easy to put the money in your pocket and not report it on your return.
If you make large cash deposits into your bank account.
If you claim deductions that are almost as much as your reported income.
If you leave off of your return income that was reported to the IRS including W-2’s, 1099”s, and K-1’s.
Unusually high charitable donations, especially those that are household items that are often overvalued.
Math errors on your tax return. Using a computer program will avoid the math errors that go unnoticed on a paper return filled out and mailed in on April 14.
If you are using a tax preparer that the IRS has discovered was overstating deductions and generating large refunds. In most cases, clients coming to us for this reason were actually aware of the practice but chose to ignore it believing that they would not be audited and that the IRS would not hold them accountable for all the interest and penalties and additional taxes if caught.

Use some common sense here and consider the agony that a bad audit will cause you financially and perhaps professionally and with your marriage. This is probably the main reason why so many taxpayers are filing for innocent spouse protection. One spouse, usually the husband is filing joint returns that if audited are going to result in large tax debts. Bad returns are ticking time bombs. The danger is that when the first one is not audited the taxpayer will becomes more bold and continue the practice in the following years and takes greater and greater risks until the IRS knocks on their door.
