We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Payroll Tax Debt

Payroll taxes are not dischargeable in a bankruptcy and therefore need to be resolved with some other IRS settlement option.  A monthly payment plan will require you to pay the principle, interest and penalties in full or until the statute of limitations runs out which will be 10 years from the date of assessment of the IRS tax debt.  If your monthly payment is very small or the statute of limitations is about to expire or you qualify for a currently not collectible status you may want to selection one of these options versus an IRS Offer in Compromise.  The Offer program may be the best option if none of the above apply to you.

The Offer program is a lengthy process that will require you to stay in compliance during and after you have been approved and made the required payment.  Few taxpayers understand the process and how to keep their Offer from being disallowed.  Scott Allen E.A. in Mesa AZ provides a free initial consultation and can walk you through all the steps needed to select the right settlement option.  You can reach Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Offer in Compromise—Big Warning !

Let’s start out with a big warning. Very few taxpayers qualify to do an IRS Offer in Compromise. Most cannot afford the amount of the Offer the IRS will accept. If you are told by a IRS resolution professional that you qualify for an Offer in Compromise get a second opinion. This is especially true if you are talking with an out of state company that often make promises they cannot keep. Get your second opinion locally here in Arizona. You will probably find out that you do not qualify for the Offer amount you were first told and you will likely feel better about using a local company as well.
Scott Allen E.A. of Mesa AZ is the right choice to get your correct determination if you qualify for an Offer and the amount you would qualify for. Often the Offer in Compromise option is not the best settlement option. Before you leap into a commitment financially, call Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 and schedule a free initial consultation. You will quickly know you have made the right decision during your first appointment.

Is the IRS Still Accepting Offers in Compromise?

Yes, but…  The bad news is that over the last two decades the numbers of offers being accepted has been in decline.  The good news is that a higher percentage of offers applied for are being accepted.  Why?  Many tax payers and companies representing tax payers filed offers that were outside of the rules.  Most of the companies filing frivolous offers have gone out of business and left their clients stranded and in much deeper trouble with the IRS.  Avoid companies outside of your area that you cannot meet face to face.  They make promises they cannot keep.  Avoid being taken because they tell you what you want to hear.  The following is an action list that must be kept to get acceptance of your offer:
  • Make sure you can file and pay on time.  This means having enough withholdings if you are an employee or making estimated tax payments.  Prepare your return in February to give you time to come up with any amount due by April 15 and avoid filing extensions.  All past returns must be filed to be included in the offer.
  • Consider using a Mesa AZ tax professional to help you through the paperwork maze.  Even small errors will cost you big time—by having your offer rejected or having the IRS counter your offer with a much higher amount to pay.  The IRS will require proof of all expense tems included in your financial statements.
  • Consider all of your settlement options before filing an Offer.  Many times the best settlement option is not an Offer.  This is another reason to have a tax professional in Mesa AZ on your side.
  • When the IRS requests additional information, respond promptly.  Any delay will increase the chances that your offer will be rejected, lost or transferred to another IRS employee.
Tax Debt Advisors, Inc of Mesa Arizona offers a free initial consultation to discuss your potential Offer in Compromise or other tax matters.

Successful IRS Offer in Compromise requires professional assistance from Tax Debt Advisors

Gilbert AZ Offer in Compromise

A Gilbert AZ Offer in Compromise is a challenging process.  Most successful Offers require professional assistance.  Not because the forms are that difficult but due to the time and attention it takes to keep your Offer flowing through the IRS system.  Most rejected Offers are lost in the process or when transferred to the next person assigned to your case.  The other problem is that so many Offers are rejected due to errors or incomplete information that it is easier for the IRS to find something wrong with your Offer and reject it than to process the paper work.  When the IRS does contact the taxpayer for information, the deadlines are very tight to respond.  Any deadline missed will result in a rejected Offer.

Tax Debt Advisors near Gilbert Arizona has the experience and expertise to monitor your Gilbert AZ Offer in Compromise from start to finish.  If you would like a free Gilbert AZ initial consultation regarding an Offer in Compromise, call 480-926-9300 today.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.—Offer in Compromise Facts

Avondale AZ IRS Offer in Compromise Facts

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) allows Avondale AZ taxpayers to settle their tax debt including interest and penalties for less than the amount owed under certain circumstances.  If there is no way you are going to pay the tax debt owed or the IRS liability creates a financial hardship the IRS will consider a lower payback amount.  The IRS takes into consideration your ability to pay, your income and necessary living expenses and any equity you have in assets.

The IRS must be convinced that the government is better off accepting a lower amount than trying to collect the full debt over the remaining statute of limitations.  Not everyone in Avondale AZ qualifies for an OIC or the OIC amount is higher than what the taxpayer can afford.  All taxpayers should consider all other available settlement options before selecting an OIC.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has been representing taxpayers before the IRS on all settlement options including OIC.  If you are interested in a free consultation, call 480-926-9300 to schedule an appointment.

Call Scott Allen E.A. to do your Tempe AZ IRS Offer in Compromise

On May 21, 2012, the IRS came out with another option to its “Fresh Start” initiative called the Offer in Compromise (OIC) program.  The purpose of this program is to give taxpayers that have little or no hope of catching up on past taxes, eliminate their IRS problem by paying a fraction owed and staying in compliance afterwards.

Changes were made to the calculations to determine a taxpayer’s future income, allowing taxpayers the ability to pay back their student loans, delinquent state taxes and allowing more living expenses.  All of these changes reduce the amount the IRS will expect to be paid to eliminate your tax liability.  During the last five years, 258,000 offers were submitted and only 68,000 accepted.  That’s only about 1 in 4.  Most of the problems were errors in calculating the amount of the offer and maintaining constant communication with the IRS personnel assigned to your case.

The IRS estimates that these revisions will result in a 75% reduction in the amount of the OIC paid back within 5 months and a 60% reduction if paid back within 2 years.  Scott Allen E.A. near Tempe AZ has the expertise to advise, file and get acceptance of your Offer in Compromise.  He offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.
