Common Reasons To Hire A Tax Attorney In Mesa

It is true that you don’t have to hire a tax attorney when you are dealing with the IRS. You can hire a tax debt advisor who has been helping people since 1977 with their tax issues. Scott Allen can guide you through any type of tax situation that you may have.

Why You Do Not Need a Tax Attorney

Below are the reasons as well as warning signs of why you do not need a tax attorney:

  • If you are making the decision out of fear, and believe that you need a tax attorney for anything other than fraudulently file or criminal returns, you will be disappointed. Attorneys can generate their income by causing fear. Many clients who started with an attorney and switch to us mentioned that they were intimidated with fear about something bad happening if… and that always followed by another large retainer fee.
  • IRS resolution work isn’t rocket science. It is just common-sense work that will improve over time because of the relationships that were established with the IRS and understanding how they work. Attorneys will often scare their clients into believe that their legal training is needed to get a successful resolution.
  • Most clients believe that they will get what they pay for and will base the quality of work on how much they pay. In many cases, the attorney will charge between 25-400% more for the same service. If you go in for a consultation with an attorney, you should consider getting a second option by calling me for a free initial consultation. Those are the appointments I love.

Hire An Enrolled Agent Vs. Hiring A Tax Attorney In Mesa

View our recent blog post “When is a IRS tax attorney in Mesa necessary and when isn’t it?

  1. The tax issue may not be that bad. It doesn’t take a tax attorney or rocket scientist to work with the IRS. Legal training isn’t really needed to handle most tax issues. Tax attorneys will try to scare you into believing that you need legal representation. That just isn’t true. Let Tax Debt Advisors help you to solve your tax issues without scaring you or requesting a huge retainer fee for the service.
  2. Get a Second Opinion. There are some tax customers that believe paying a higher fee will give them higher quality services and that isn’t true. Tax attorneys normally charge 400% more for the same services that a tax debt expert can handle. There isn’t a difference in the process besides you paying more money. We aren’t saying it is a bad idea to talk to a tax attorney, but you should also get a second opinion. At Tax Debt Advisors we offer free tax consultations.
  3. Don’t make any decisions based on fear. Do you believe that you need a tax attorney because you filed a fraudulent tax return, then you might be disappointed. Tax attorneys generate their income based on your fears. Many of our tax clients began with a tax attorney, only to find that they tried to intimidate them into believing the problem is bigger than actually is. It is almost always followed by a large retainer fee.

Feel Confident with an Experienced Tax Representative

Whenever I look back over the years, the most common factor in my bad decision making is when I was influenced due to fear. I love the quote from Star Wars that explains how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader – “It was fear that pushed me to the dark side.” If you have had a consultation with an attorney, ask yourself if they reduced your fear level or use it to get what they wanted. A good representative will focus on everything that can go right instead of that 1% that could go wrong and almost never happens. When you are trying to decide if you need representation from a tax attorney, consider getting a second opinion from me. I know you will be glad that you did.

What is a Levy & How To Get It Released?

What Is A Tax Levy & How To Get It Released

If you are wondering “what is a tax levy” and “how do I get a tax levy released” this post should help! Furthermore, if you live anywhere in the Phoenix Metropolitan area in Arizona, Scott from Tax Debt Advisors can help you get your levy released.

What Is a Tax Levy?

A levy is the action of legalized seizure of one’s property for the purpose of satisfying tax debt. Unlike liens, levies are different. Whereas a lien is the legal claim on a property for securing tax debit payment, a levy takes the property for satisfying tax debit.

Where does the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) authority to levy originate from?

Levies are authorized by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for collecting delinquent taxes. Reference IRC 6331. Any property or the right of property belonging to the delinquent taxpayer, or which a Federal tax lien is able to be levied, unless the property has been exempt from a levy by the IRC.

Prior to issuing a levy, what actions are required by the IRS?

Typically, the IRS only issues a levy after the following three requirements have been met:

  1. Tax has been assessed by the IRS and a Notice and Demand of Payment (invoice) has been sent;
  2. You have refused or neglected to make payment;
  3. A Final Notice of Intent to Levy was sent to you, and you were informed with a Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (the levy notice) a minimum of 30 days prior to the levy being issued. This notice may be delivered by the IRS in person, left at your home or workplace, or mailed to the last known address using registered or certified mail and a return receipt request.

Note: The IRS is also allowed to issue a levy on state tax refunds as well. In this case, you might be sent a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, along with a Notice of Your Right to a Hearing after your refund is levied.

When is a levy issued by the IRS?

In the event you do not pay your tax or make other arrangements for settling debt, the IRS can determine the next appropriate action is issuing a levy. A levy can be issued by the IRS for any property you own or right to property you have an interest in. For example, the IRS is able to levy a property which is yours, but held by another person (such as retirement accounts, wages, bank accounts, dividends, rental income, licenses, accounts receivable, cash loan values of commissions or life insurance, etc. Otherwise, the IRS is able to seize and sell property which is held by you, such as house, boat, or cars.

How Can I Release a Levy?

Upon receiving the IRS notice of the levy, you should contact the IRS right away to resolve any tax liability and request for a levy release. In addition, the IRS is able to release a levy when determining the levy is resulting in immediate economic hardship. If the release request is denied by the IRS, you may request an appeal on the decision. You can file an appeal before or after the levy is issued on your bank account, wages, or property. One proceeds from the levy has been sent to the IRS, you may file claim to request they be returned. If denied, you may submit an appeal on the decision of returning the levied property. The following is a full explanation of your rights to appeal: Publication 1660, Collection Appeal Rights (PDF).

In the event the following are determined, the IRS is required to release the levy:

  • The amount owed has been paid
  • The collection period ended before the levy was issued
  • A levy release will help you pay delinquent taxes
  • You make Installment Agreements and the agreement terms do not allow the levy to remain active
  • Economic hardship is caused by the levy, which means the IRS determines issuing the levy will prevent you from being able to meet basic and reasonable living expenses.
  • The property value is higher than the amount owed, and a levy release does not affect the ability to collect the owe amount.
  • Note: a levy release does not indicate you do not have to pay the balance amount due. You are still required to pay your balance amount, and should contact the IRS to make arrangements for resolving tax debt or they can reissue a levy.

Sal and his Mesa AZ IRS installment arrangement

Sal needed a Mesa AZ IRS installment arrangement and got it.

Sal and his wife were receiving threatening garnishment notices from the IRS.  They both draw social security income along with their normal jobs.  The IRS wanted to garnish 15% of their social security income along with his wife’s W-2 wages.  Obviously, this would be something they could not handle for very long.  They had also not filed their 2012, 2013, and 2014 income tax returns.  The IRS will not work out an agreement with someone if they are not in compliance with all of their tax filings.  Scott Allen EA had his work cut out for him to get everything done in a timely manner and to stop the IRS wage garnishment notices.  View the Mesa AZ IRS installment arrangement accomplished in Sal’s behalf.

Unfortunately in this tax resolution industry there are a lot of false promise made by competitors.  Most of these competitors (if you can call them that) are out of state companies that hire sales people to get cases.  They will typically say anything to get a new client.  They promise them “pennies on the dollar” settlements after only talking to them for five minutes and knowing nothing about their specific case.  Don’t be fooled into believing their story on what they can do for you.  No one can guarantee results without doing a financial analysis of your IRS situation first.  More then likely you will not get what you are expecting to receive with an out of state company and overpaying for that as well.

With Scott Allen EA there is no sales person.  You will only work directly with him in negotiating your Mesa AZ IRS installment arrangement or whatever settlement option you qualify for.  He will represent you from beginning to end by going through the steps necessary to complete your settlement and getting you the best that the law will allow.  If you need IRS back tax returns filed he can get you caught up with all your tax filings as well even if you have lost all your records.  Get told the truth the first time by working with a local company.  Call and speak with Scott Allen EA today.
