File Back Taxes Phoenix and save $45,421.00

File Back Taxes Phoenix

Martha called Tax Debt Advisors, Inc in a panic because not only did she have to file back taxes Phoenix but the IRS had made a substitute assessment on her 2013 tax year. This substitute assessment by the IRS claimed she owed them $45,421.00. Wow, what a shock this was to Martha. Not only did she not file 2013 but nothing for 2014 thru 2020 either.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc was able to walk Martha thru the steps to resolve her IRS matter and save her paychecks and bank accounts from IRS levy. By signing Tax Debt Advisors, Inc over as her Power of Attorney they were able to investigate what records the IRS had on her for all her delinquent years (especially 2013) where they came up with a massive tax amount owed. Tax Debt Advisors, Inc discovered that when the IRS filed the substitute filing they accounted for all of her stock sales but none of her stock basis. Once we determined her basis, a proper accurate tax return was filed resulting in ZERO taxes owed. Yes, ZERO! Click on the IRS notice below to see for yourself. Not only did she have enough stock basis to owe no taxes, but she had capital losses to carryforward to her 2014 tax return to help lower her taxable income on that return as well.

File Back Taxes Mesa

If you are reading this blog page you have found yourself behind on filing your income taxes with the IRS and most likely the state of Arizona as well. There is no need to panic. Yes, you may have put yourself in a little bit of a pickle but there is an easy way out. Scott Allen EA has a simple three step process that helps taxpayers file back taxes Mesa and settle them into a reasonable payment plan option or other settlement solution. As you can see from the notice below, Augustus was six years delinquent with the IRS. He is a self employed truck driver and also receiving social security income. He had not been making his quarterly estimated tax payments on his business income either. Before he knew it he was stuck in this trap.

Scott Allen EA was able to dig him out of that trap. He contacted the IRS to put a stop of all collection activity and organized and prepared his six missing tax returns. Once the IRS processed all the tax returns a reasonable payment plan was negotiated based upon his financial capabilities. For him, this was $650 per month.

Shhh…I am a Delinquent Taxpayer. Who do I call?

Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney ?

First, being a delinquent taxpayer is not a legal issue and does not require the help of a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney.  However, being a delinquent taxpayer can cause the IRS to close down your business, breakup marriages, damage your health, and cause many sleepless nights.  Most taxpayers who miss filing one year for a “good reason” become paralyzed the following year and neglect to file a second year.  Once the IRS has not contacted them, the fear of being contacted by the IRS and facing the problem is too much for most taxpayers.  Most taxpayers fear the terrible penalties and interest the IRS adds to the tax liability and are unaware of IRS programs in place to help get taxpayers back in good standing.  Many taxpayers ignore the IRS until their bank account or paychecks have been levied.  Now taxpayers have to face their problem to keep their paycheck and sometimes even their job.  Many times their first thought is that they need a Mesa AZ IRS tax attorney when in fact they don’t.

It is critical that you are certain that you are working with the right person to get you bank on track with the IRS.  Work with someone like Scott Allen E.A. in Mesa AZ who has been successful at resolving hundreds of IRS tax debts.  Scott can be reached for a private consultation at no cost.  Call him today at 480-926-9300.

Call Scott Allen E.A. of Phoenix AZ to lower your IRS Tax Liability

Scott Allen EA for your Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Liability

Here is a simple checklist to review to see if your IRS tax liability is correct:

  • Get an IRS record of account and verify that all of your payments have been credited to your account.  The IRS does on occasion misapply payments.  Also sometimes your check did not clear the bank and you were unaware.
  • Always designate where you want payments to be applied if you do not want the payment applied to the oldest tax year that has a balance due.  If the IRS has applied your payment to the incorrect tax year, you can call them and get it corrected.
  • The best way to lower your IRS tax liability is to make sure each tax debt is from a filed return.  If the IRS has filed a tax return it is called a substitute for return and Scott can file a correct return and in most cases get the tax debt reduced.
  • The second best way to lower your IRS tax liability is to have Scott Allen E.A. near Phoenix AZ review your current return and see if it needs to be amended for deductions that were overlooked.
  • The third best way to lower your tax liability is to see if penalty abetment is warranted.  Scott has expertise in filing IRS form 843 if you have a legitimate reason to get your IRS penalties reduced.

Scott Allen E.A. provides a free consultation for Phoenix AZ neighbors to evaluate whether you can lower your IRS tax liability.  Call Scott at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

View the letter below from the IRS showing what Scott did for his client Evan. He was able to lower his Phoenix AZ IRS tax liability by $9,000 on his 2018 taxes. If you are uncertain about the way your tax returns were prepared you have three years to amend them.

We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for IRS Substitute for Return (SFR)

What to do if the IRS files a Substitute for Return filing

If you fail to file, it is only a matter of time before the IRS will file a Substitute for Return.  This is the IRS method of assessing a tax so that they can collect from your wages or bank accounts even though you have not filed a return.  The IRS can levy your wages or garnish your bank account even if you would not have owed on a return had you filed it on time.

As you would guess the IRS prepares the return in the most negative way possible.  Not because they want to punish you, but because they don’t know what your filing status is or number of dependents and deductions or expenses you are entitled too.

The good news is that the IRS will allow you to file a correct (or original) return to reduce the liability.  The bad news is that if your correct return shows a refund and it is more than three years delinquent, the IRS will not pay you the refund or allow you to use it against other IRS tax debts owed on other years.  The IRS will not allow you to discharge taxes in bankruptcy on a tax return filed as a Substitute for Return either.

Contacting  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. of Arizona if you have back tax returns to file gives you the best chance of getting the best settlement possible with the IRS.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc in Arizona  has resolved over 113,000 IRS tax debts.  Call  today to schedule a free initial consultation at 480-926-9300.  Now is the time to act and Scott Allen E.A. is the right choice.

Scott Allen EA was able to assist Daniel in protesting the IRS Substitute for Return filings they did for him on some back tax returns. After getting the tax liability as low as possible Scott negotiated a low monthly payment of only $85/month. See the IRS approval notice below.

Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers

If you have not filed for several years it is likely the IRS has filed Substitute for Returns better known as SFR’s.  To minimize the IRS tax debt it is imperative that you file a correct return within three years of the due date or you will lose any refund.

• Filing status
• Number of dependents
• Mortgage interest and property taxes on your home.
• Auto license fees
• Medical expenses
• Charitable donations
• Cost basis of any stock sales
• Business expenses

Melissa is someone who hired Scott as her Power of Attorney to file her tax returns in Chandler AZ. A few of her tax years were already filed but were filed incorrectly misreporting income.

Do I need an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney to file back tax returns?

No, filing delinquent tax returns is not a legal matter and shouldn’t require hiring an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney.  Consider Hiring Scott Allen E.A. instead. However, you should be aware of some of the negative consequences of filing back tax returns:

  • After three years past the due date, if you have a refund, it is lost and cannot be applied towards any balances due.
  • The IRS has a 10 year statute of limitations in which to collect on assessed taxes.  However, the statute does not start until your returns have been filed and assessed.
  • If you refuse to file back tax returns there can be legal consequences—but even an Arizona IRS Tax Attorney is not going to be able to get the IRS to agree to not filing a back tax return.
  • If you have not filed for a few years the IRS will file a Substitute for Return (SFR) which is prepared in the most negative way possible.  If this has already occurred, it can be corrected by filing a correct return at the Service Center that prepared the SFR.
  • The longer you wait to file a delinquent return the more penalties and interest will be added to the tax due.  If you have a refund, there will be no penalties or interest added.
  • You cannot qualify for any IRS settlement programs until you are in compliance with filing all of your back tax returns.

Scott Allen E.A. can be reached for a free consultation to discuss filing your back tax returns at 480-926-9300.  Scott has filed many SFR protests that have reduced the tax liability as well as the interest and penalties. He will make today a great day for you.

Below is a recent example of Scott Allen E.A. properly representing a taxpayer. Kathleen was several years behind on her taxes and Scott was able to assist in her getting those returns prepared and all caught up. Once she was filing compliant a payment plan negotiation took place. Her $100,000+ IRS debt was settled into one low monthly payment plan of $508 per month. How about that!
