Do I need an Arizona IRS Attorney when I can’t pay what I owe the IRS?

Settle the IRS without using an Arizona IRS Attorney

No, your inability to pay the IRS is not a legal matter.  What you do need is a highly trained tax professional.  Most clients that owe the IRS will have a problem or inability to pay what the IRS says they owe them before the debt is fully paid off.  Some of the options available include:

  • Determine if you qualify for a non-collectible status.
  • Determine if you qualify for an Offer in Compromise.
  • Determine if you qualify to have your tax liability discharged in a bankruptcy.
  • Determine if any of your interest or penalties can be abated.
  • Determine if you should amend a previously filed tax return.
  • Determine if you should request an audit reconsideration on a return that was audited—especially if you did not attend the audit and were denied all of your legitimate deductions.
  • Determine if you qualify for a reduction in your monthly IRS Installment Arrangement.

All of these options should be considered if you cannot pay the IRS what you owe.  Scott Allen E.A. of Arizona is well versed in all of these IRS procedures and is available for a free consultation.  He can be reached at 480-926-9300.

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.

IRS Tax Debt and Confidentiality

Do IRS Tax Attorneys in Gilbert Arizona Provide a Higher Level of Confidentiality?

All IRS resolution experts are required to keep confidential any information disclosed to them whether they be a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney, Enrolled Agent (E.A.) or CPA?  The only time this becomes critical is in the matter of criminal cases.  An IRS Tax Attorney in Gilbert, AZ has “attorney client privilege.”  This means that if you have committed a criminal act, the IRS Tax Gilbert Attorney is allowed to keep information confidential.

The problem comes when less than 1 out of 10,000 clients that we have seen over the last 45 years has committed a criminal act and should retain the services of a Gilbert, AZ IRS Tax Attorney.  Yet when our clients have talked to a Gilbert Tax Attorney, the attorney always mentions that they have attorney client privilege as if that is needed in your case—which is almost never.  So why pay two or three times as much for something you don’t need.

If you scheduled a free consultation with Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 he can tell you if you have committed a criminal act and need the services of an IRS Tax Attorney in Gilbert, AZ.  If that is the case, he will be able to refer you to a Tax IRS Attorney Gilbert, AZ that specializes in the tax representation area you require.

IRS Tax Bankruptcy in Arizona: IRS help from Scott Allen, E.A.

IRS Tax Bankruptcy in Arizona

IRS discharge in bankruptcy—Why residents of Arizona should consider filing a bankruptcy to settle their IRS debt. 

  • When you cannot qualify for an Offer in Compromise
  • The IRS is not the decision maker.  The Bankruptcy Code supersedes the IRS code.
  • Bankruptcy is often less costly than entering an installment arrangement
  • When you have debts other than tax debts—both are taken care of when you file a bankruptcy
  • In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you pay the IRS zero!
  • Many individuals qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy even with a high income
  • If you don’t own a home, the tax lien that survives the bankruptcy doesn’t  affect you negatively

I will help you analyze all tax settlement options at the same time so that you are confident you made the right choice.  Call today for a free initial confidential consultation about an IRS tax bankruptcy in Arizona.

Will the IRS be willing to accept a low offer in compromise if they know I can discharge the taxes in a bankruptcy?

Arizona IRS Offer in Compromise

I have seen where the ability to file a bankruptcy has had a positive effect on getting an Arizona IRS offer in compromise accepted if there are genuine areas of disagreement on how assets should be valued in determining the offer amount.  I have also seen situations where the IRS will not budge on an offer amount even if you decide to file a bankruptcy.  There is a lot of variation in the way the offer in compromise group handle offers when the option to discharge the taxes in a bankruptcy is available.  If the tax debt is on a current year, the IRS knows that you must wait three years from the due date of the return before you can file a bankruptcy.  In that case, the option of filing a bankruptcy would not be taken into consideration.  Each situation has to be evaluated on its own merits.  Working with a professional who has seen lots of Arizona IRS offer in compromise’s accepted when a bankruptcy is an option is the only way to get an objective opinion.

What Should I do if the IRS Knocks on my Door in Arizona?

IRS Knock on my Door in Arizona

If a Revenue Officer knocks on your door in Arizona, technically you do not have to let them in.  But you should be courteous and ask if you can have a representative contact them.  A good way to respond is to say something like, “I will provide all the information you request, but I would like to consult my representative and have them represent me.”

A Revenue Office is entitled to your financial information but it is best to request a list of all the information that they want and a reasonable deadline.  It is too easy to try to please the RO and not provide accurate or complete information.

Most Revenue Officers are please that you have representation as long as they respect the person you choose.  Many national companies have poor track records with the IRS and the RO will usually ask who you are considering using.  They cannot make suggestions on who to use but they will likely tell you if you are considering someone with a bad reputation.  The key here is to handle unannounced IRS visits with courtesy, but remember you have rights to representation before disclosure.
