What will IRS do when they find out I have not filed back tax returns? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Back Tax Returns in Phoenix AZ

Eventually, the IRS will compare income reported by 3rd party payers and match them against your social security number and prepare substitute tax returns if you have unfiled back tax returns in Phoenix AZ.  These returns allow the IRS to take action against you like liens, levies and garnishments.  Substitute returns give no credit for any deductions or cost basis which will greatly overstate the tax as well as the interest and penalties for late filing.  The IRS doesn’t punish for non-payment (1/2% per month) as much as for non-filing (5% per month).   Consider not filing back tax returns in Phoenix AZ like ignoring dealing with cancer—time will only make it worse.  The time to face non filing is now.  You will have more time to gather important tax information if you file on your own before the IRS knocks on your door.  Recently the IRS has demanded tax returns to be filed in as little as three days to avoid levies on bank accounts or garnishment of wages.   Call me for a free confidential initial consultation to determine the best way to get your back tax returns in Phoenix AZ filed and settled.

My Offer in compromise was rejected, can I appeal? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

IRS Offer in Compromise Rejected

Sadly, most of the offers that are filed by the large “offer in compromise mills” were never legitimate Offers.  I don’t need to mention any names but if you see them on TV or on the Radio and the person doing the work is in another state or only one state for the whole nation, you should be leery—get a second opinion.  Even better call me for your second opinion, FIRST!

Let’s assume you have a valid offer that was filed by someone other than me.  Why are you calling me?  If you can’t get the company to return your phone calls, or suggest that they file and appeal, it is probably not a valid Offer and the company that filed your Offer knows that.  I suggest you file a complaint to the attorney general in the state and get someone else to review your Offer.

Many Offers that were valid when submitted are no longer valid when the time for determination of validity is completed several months later.  If that is the case, you are out of luck and you should not file an appeal.  However, assuming your Offer is still valid, an appeal should be promptly filed within 30 days of the official rejection letter on IRS Form 13711.

If you Offer was rejected because of a neglect on the part of your representative during the Offer process, it is unlikely the Appeals process will work and a new Offer will have to be submitted.

I don’t want to sound negative but less the truth is less than 5% of the rejected Offers I have reviewed were ever valid—NOT EVEN ON THE DATE THEY WERE SUBMITTED!  If this is the case, I will review four other settlement options and together we will decide which one is best for you—THAT WILL WORK!

taxdebtadvisors.com – What will get the IRS off my back?

I need the IRS off my back

The IRS will leave you alone when the following has occurred:

1)      You prove that you have insufficient equity in any real or personal property.  If you have no equity in your car or home the IRS isn’t interested in taking it from you.

2)      If you are on a payment plan and current on your payments the IRS will stay off your back.

3)      If you are appealing an IRS decision, collection action will cease until a decision has be made by the Appeals Office.

4)      If you have filed an offer in compromise that is deemed processible, the IRS will leave you alone.

5)      If you have filed an innocent spouse claim, collection ceases as long as it is pending.

6)      If you file a bankruptcy, collection action stops until your bankruptcy is over.

7)      If you are classified as currently not collectible, collection action stops as long as you maintain that status.

Don’t just assume that you have no acceptable settlement options once you have been contacted by the IRS.  We can assess quickly what options are available to you and even more important, get you that settlement with the IRS.  Scott Allen EA is here in Mesa Arizona to represent you.

Stop IRS Action — My word against the IRS—Who loses?—You

Stop IRS Action now!

You know you filed the return, your remember putting it in the mail slot.  But the IRS claims they never got it.  The same might be true with your Collection Due Process Appeal, Innocent Spouse claim, offer in compromise or your Collection Information Statement—Form 433A.

This doesn’t happen that often but when it does, it can be devastating.  So how do your protect your self from a disaster.

1)      File your return at the IRS office nearest you.  When you give the person at the counter your return, ask them to date stamp a copy of the return that you brought with you.  If the IRS loses your return, you now have proof that you filed it and the date it was filed.

2)      Avoid putting more than one return in an envelope if you have to mail a return.  Putting more than one return in an envelope increases the likelihood that one will be misplaced or ignored.  Sounds silly but it works.  My father learned this 45 years ago when did a tax return for a retired janitor from the Ogden, Utah IRS office.  He explained how things were being processed and handled by IRS employees.  His suggestion has proved very valuable over the years.

3)      If you must mail something, send it certified mail return receipt requested.  When you get the signed proof of delivery, staple it to a copy of what was sent.  This is not proof that you sent it, it is only proof you sent something, but the IRS Appeals office will accept it as proof even if  a Revenue Officer does not.
