My Husband Left Me With IRS Tax Debt. Do I Need a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney?

Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney or a licensed Enrolled Agent:

This situation is not a legal matter and does not require a Phoenix AZ IRS tax attorney. The most common removal of the IRS tax debt is to file for innocent spouse relief. Many wives find out that they owe large amounts of money to the IRS after their divorce or the death of their husband.

Often times the husband has not reported income or taken deductions that are disallowed by the IRS. As long as the income was attributable to the actions of the husband and the wife did not benefit financially from this action, she can be relieved of the tax debt. In other words, if the wife has a new car and a nice home from the bogus actions of her husband, she has benefited from his action and the wife would need to either sell the home or trade in her vehicle for a lower cost one to qualify for injured spouse status.

If the wife has been divorced or living apart for the last 12 months, the wife has 2 years to elect to file as married filing separately. This allows the wife to be taxed only on the money she earned and not the income that was not reported to the IRS.

Scott Allen E.A. can help you sort through your scenario to see if you qualify for this tax procedure. He is available for a free consultation at 480-926-9300. Scott is not a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney but rather a licensed Enrolled Agent here in Arizona.

Why use Scott Allen, E.A. with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc?

Who should be your Arizona IRS Representative?

E.A. stands for Enrolled Agent. Enrolled Agents are authorized to represent clients in all 50 states. Attorneys and CPA are only able to represent themselves to clients as Attorneys or CPA’s in the states that they are licensed.
An E.A. or Enrolled Agent must pass a rigorous test regarding their knowledge of tax law. The Bar exam given to Attorney’s has almost no requirements for tax knowledge. The same is true of the CPA exam.
IRS agents and IRS officers are known as “bill collectors” and are hired to get the largest payment or settlement they can—that’s their job. Scott Allen E.A. is there to make sure you get the smallest payment or settlement allowed by law.
It can be very intimidating working with IRS agents and officers. With Scott Allen E.A. you will be put at ease regarding your IRS problem and know that it is being handled by a competent IRS representative.
Many IRS employees are incompetent or only willing to do the minimum amount of work to keep their manager off their back. You need IRS representation to keep your IRS agent or officer “on their toes”. Scott Allen E.A. can request a conference with your IRS agent or officer if he senses that he is getting the “run around”. That is something most taxpayers are unable to detect.
Not always but occasionally IRS agents or officers will take advantage of your lack of IRS procedures and policies. IRS agents or officers know that an Enrolled Agent is knowledgeable of IRS procedures and policies.
Most tax preparers including CPA’s are not experienced in working with IRS resolution work. Scott Allen E.A. expertise is in resolving IRS problems.

Don’t put your head I the sand. It is only a matter of time before the IRS catches up to you. Put time on your side by contacting Scott Allen E.A. today at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation and put your mind at ease.

New IRS Offer in Compromise rules and changes

IRS Offer in Compromise rules

Important changes to the IRS’s Offer in Compromise Program (Form 656). IRS Tax Problem help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. here in Mesa, Arizona

Offer in Compromises have become increasingly tough to get the IRS to accept over the last 10-15 years. Most taxpayers made too much money or had expenses too high that the IRS does not accept. In previous years the IRS multiplied your monthly available income by either 48 or 60. As of recent years the IRS has changed those numbers to 12 and 48. This is a huge difference in Offer amounts the taxpayer would be required to pay to the IRS for their past tax debt. Call and talk with me, Scott Allen, E.A. and schedule an appointment for a free consultation to discuss your IRS (or state) debt. While the old Offer in Compromises rule didn’t work for you in the past, find out today if you will qualify under the new IRS Offer in Compromise rules.

Can the taxpayers handle their own IRS problem case?

Taxpayers always have the option of representing themselves before the IRS. However, many if not most find dealing with the IRS frustrating, time consuming, intimidating or all of the above. Below I will list a handful of key things to consider before representing yourself before the IRS. Often times even an hour consultation with a tax professional can go a long way.

The taxpayer does not have the professional expertise to know what the options are or how to get the lowest settlement allowed by law.

4 out of every 5 Offer in Compromise’s filed by the taxpayer are rejected by the IRS.

Many taxpayer negotiated Offer in Compromise’s offer the IRS much more then is required by law.

The taxpayer may be too frightened, frustrated or intimidated by the IRS to effectively or comfortably negotiate a settlement.

Most taxpayers are far happier to keep their distance from the IRS and prefer to leave the sparring to their advisors. Still, dealing with the IRS is not always as painful as thought. In fact, most IRS officers are reasonable and helpful, especially when they see the taxpayer is making a good honest effort to resolve his or her tax problem.

The taxpayer may slip up and inadvertently make statements that can make the problem worse-perhaps triggering an audit or even criminal investigation.

Professionals know where to draw the line. The taxpayer can make a statement that can create tax liability for his or her spouse or business associate.

The taxpayer takes valuable time away from his or her work and family to wrestle with his or her own case. Many business owner’s and busy employee’s will always appreciate paying an experienced professional to handle their case timely and stress free.

Call me, Scott Allen, EA to discuss if hiring a professional is necessary for you. I offer a free initial consultation.

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.
