  • Do you qualify for a lower payment amount or no payment called non-collectible status.
  • The lower your monthly payment, the lower the amount of your Offer in Compromise.  Perhaps now you can find a way to pay a small lump sum to discharge all the remaining taxes, interest and penalties.
  • If you returns have been filed for two years and it is three years from the due date of the return, perhaps now you qualify for discharge of your tax liability and should consider a tax motivate bankruptcy – call me before calling a Mesa AZ Bankruptcy Attorney.  First, work needs to be done with the IRS to insure your tax debt qualifies.
  • If you have discovered that you did not file your return(s) correctly, you have the option to file amended returns and lower the balance due.
  • If you were audited and did not show up to your appointment, you still have the option of filing for an Audit Reconsideration to bring down the balance the IRS thinks you owe.

Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney when I have filed a bankruptcy when I own a home and have an IRS tax lien?

First, dealing with a Maricopa County IRS Tax lien is not a legal matter.

But let’s back up and make sure of the circumstances surrounding your bankruptcy.  When a taxpayer files a bankruptcy and has met all the criteria for discharging taxes in a bankruptcy, the tax debt is considered removed.  However, if there was an IRS tax lien filed prior to the bankruptcy and the taxpayer owns a home with equity, the IRS tax lien is still attached against the home for the amount of the equity.  If the taxpayer sells the house before the statute of limitations expires, the IRS is entitled to that equity at the close of escrow.  If however, there is no equity in the home at the time of the bankruptcy, the taxpayer has the option of requesting that the tax lien be removed.

It is critical to get a certified appraisal on the home at the time the bankruptcy is discharged, so that the value of the home is provable if there is a dispute with the IRS.  Waiting several years and expecting the IRS to accept that you had no equity in the home may be difficult to prove.  If you want the Maricopa County IRS tax lien to be removed it is best to do it as soon as possible after the bankruptcy has discharged the IRS tax debt.

Scott Allen E.A. has the expertise to advise you on these matters.  He has seen many clients who were not advised by their Mesa AZ bankruptcy attorney that the lien would survive the bankruptcy and attach to their home.  Very few attorney bankruptcy clients were even advised what to do when they had no equity in their home after their bankruptcy was over.  If you have questions on this matter, contact Scott Allen E.A. in Mesa AZ for a free consultation at 480-926-9300.  There is still hope even if you had equity in your home, to prevent the IRS from using that equity against your IRS debt.

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.

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.
