Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney or Scott Allen EA for back tax returns

Why Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc is the right chose instead of a Mesa Az IRS Tax Attorney for filing back tax returns

Choosing a professional to assist you with filing back taxes is a personal decision that should be based on your specific needs, comfort level, and financial situation. However, there are several factors that might make Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc., a potentially good choice over a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney.
First, here are some general factors to consider when choosing between an Enrolled Agent (EA) and a Mesa AZ IRS tax attorney:
  1. Scope of Practice: Both EAs and tax attorneys are federally authorized tax practitioners who have technical expertise in the field of taxation. However, the scope of their work differs. EAs generally focus more on preparing tax returns and representing clients before the IRS. Tax attorneys, on the other hand, often handle more legal matters like tax controversies, tax fraud cases, and business/corporate issues.
  2. Cost: Typically, EAs tend to charge less for their services than tax attorneys. If cost is a concern, choosing an EA may be a more economical choice.
  3. Specialization: EAs are focused on delinquent tax matters, while attorneys may have a broader base of knowledge that includes other areas of law as well. If your primary need is help with filing back tax returns, the specialized knowledge of an EA may be more beneficial.

As for Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc., specific advantages may include:

  1. Experience: If Scott Allen EA has many years of experience, this can be beneficial because he’s likely dealt with a variety of tax situations similar to yours. His family tax practice has been solving IRS problems since 1977.
  2. Local Knowledge: Being based in Mesa, AZ, Scott Allen EA may have a strong understanding of local and state tax laws in addition to federal ones, which could be advantageous if your tax situation involves state as well as federal issues.
  3. Reputation: If Scott Allen EA has a strong reputation for helping clients successfully navigate their tax issues, this could suggest he is effective in his work and able to provide good service to his clients.
  4. Personalized Service: Smaller practices such as Tax Debt Advisors, Inc., may be able to offer more personalized service compared to larger out of state firms or attorneys.

However, these are general considerations. The right choice will ultimately depend on the complexity of your tax situation, the specific expertise and experience of the professionals you are considering, and your comfort level with them. Always conduct your own research, ask questions, and meet with the professional before making a decision. It may be worth consulting with both Scott Allen EA and a Mesa AZ IRS tax attorney to see who you feel more comfortable with and who seems best equipped to handle your specific needs. Scott Allen EA offers a free consultation to sit down and meet with him for 30-60 minutes to discuss your specitive needs to filing back tax returns or settling IRS debts.

Is IRS resolution in Mesa AZ just a sales pitch?

IRS resolution in Mesa AZ 85204

The answer is no.  It is a reality.  But to make sure, let’s define resolution.  Some clients think that if they pay us a fee the whole tax matter will magically go away.  There is no magical disappearing trick with IRS taxes.  IRS Resolution in Mesa AZ involves one of the following:

A monthly payment plan until the taxes are fully paid or the statute of limitations runs out.

A non-collectible tax status which means that you do not have to pay on the taxes owe as long as you meet certain conditions.  Interest and penalties continue to accrue on the taxes owed.

An offer in compromise, if accepted this option will allow you to pay less than you owe on all of the past taxes, including interest and penalties. This is a relatively rare occurrence despite the fact that you have heard many commercials on TV and radio making it sound as if you will get one as certain as weeds grow in your yard.  Any company that uses this “carrot” to get you to pay them a large fee up front will more than likely be scamming you out of your money and just make your IRS situation worse.  This type of “sales pitch” is a reality and you should avoid it.  These companies are usually out of state and also out of your reach when they don’t perform.  Although we have seen more law firms locally use this tactic and getting away with it.

A discharge of the tax liability for individual income taxes under the Chapter 7 rules of the bankruptcy code will allow you to avoid paying the tax liability under certain conditions.  Payroll taxes are never dischargeable with bankruptcy.

If you are uncertain as to the best IRS resolution in Mesa AZ option, contact me for a consultation to see which option is best for you.  Each option has a pro and a con to it—something good and something not so good.  However, one of the options is better than the others and you need to know that before pursuing a resolution of your tax debt.

Do I Need an IRS Attorney in Mesa AZ if I get an Installment Agreement Default Notice?

IRS Attorney in Mesa AZ

No, this is not a legal matter.  However, you will need to provide all of your financial information to determine if you IRS payment plan should remain the same, go up or go down.  The IRS will likely require you to have your payments come directly out of your checking account or if you have had a track record of default the IRS may want the payments to come directly from your pay check.

You have 30 days to respond to this notice or levy action will follow.  My suggestion is to have a free consultation with Scott Allen E.A. rather than with an IRS Attorney in Mesa AZ.   Scott can determine the lowest amount allowed by law that you should pay the IRS.  If your financial situation has worsen since the time you entered into your installment arrangement you may qualify for non-collectible status and not be required to make any monthly payment. He will also review all the other settlement options to determine if an IRS installment arrangement is the best option for you.  You can reach Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300.

RECENT SETTLEMENT ACCEPTANCE: See how Cooper settled his IRS tax debt without hiring an IRS Attorney in Mesa AZ (view letter below).  Scott Allen E.A. was able to represent him before the IRS and negotiate a low $200 per month payment plan on his 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2021 taxes owed. The IRS was being a bit tough with him initially, wanting nearly $400 per month but after Scott evaluated his current financial situation he knew Cooper would qualify for a monthly payment of nearly half of that.

File Back Tax Returns in Mesa

Can I still file back tax returns in Mesa?

The answer is most definitely yes. Scott Allen EA receives calls all the time with taxpayers asking, “is it possible to file back tax returns in Mesa?”  Just because you miss one year, three years, or eleven years of filing your taxes it doesn’t mean they wont let you file a current year tax return. Clients will also ask Scott Allen EA, “do you think the IRS forgot about me? I have not file a tax return in four years and I have not heard from them yet?”  Trust this one rule, the IRS may be slow and inefficient at what they do but they will never forget about you. Eventually time catches up and the IRS will force a taxpayer to file back tax returns in Mesa by either:

  • sending you a “lock-in” letter forcing you to withhold taxes from your current employer at the highest possible rate and unable to change it for three years
  • filings a substitute for return (SFR) in your behalf giving you a balance due on back taxes owed
  • filing a tax lien
  • bank levy
  • wage garnishment
  • assigning your case to a local IRS Revenue Officer

Scott Allen EA of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc that whether you have to file back tax returns in Mesa for two years, four years, or ten years is it always better to reach out to the IRS before they reach out. Because by doing do we can prevent them from doing any of those negative actions against you mentioned above. Once an IRS wage garnishment has been started 1) it is difficult to get it stopped and 2) it is difficult to correct the matter when the IRS is taking 30% of your paycheck. With Scott Allen EA as your IRS Power of Attorney he can represent you and put a hold to any collection activity before it ever begins. Then once that hold is placed on the account it will remain on hold as long as the commitments are met to get the taxpayer fully compliant.

What does it mean to be fully compliant?

In addition to file back tax returns in Mesa a taxpayer also needs to be sure they are having proper W2 withholdings with the federal and state or making monthly or quarterly estimated tax payments if they are self employed. The IRS needs to be certain that if they are going to work out a payment plan or offer in compromise settlement that you will not owe on next years taxes when it is due April 15th. Scott Allen EA will be there for you next year by sending you a reminder letter in January and a phone call in February to come in a get your current year taxes prepared, filed and paid on time.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc has been in business since 1977 and Scott Allen EA bought the family business in 2011. Together they have settled over 100,000 IRS debts. Below is just one recent example of a successful case where Scott Allen EA was able to file back tax returns in Mesa and save Trevor $77,638 on his 2016 tax return. It was a hard case to get thru (especially post Covid-19 and the IRS’s limited staff) but it was all worth it obviously. View the IRS approval notice below.

Stopping Mesa AZ IRS Garnishments since 1977

What do I do when I have Mesa AZ IRS Garnishments on my wages?

This is about the most shocking thing the IRS can do to get your attention.  That is what the IRS is trying to go with Mesa AZ IRS garnishments.  They really don’t want to take your paycheck but because you have neglected all their letters and notices, now they want you to know they mean business.  If you have not filed any Mesa AZ back tax returns, now is the time to do so.  By filing correct returns, you may even reduce the liability the IRS says you owe.  Filing all of your past tax returns is referred to at the IRS as being in compliance.

Every day counts when your wages are being taken.  Not always, but often times it is possible to file all of your returns and get a release on Mesa AZ IRS garnishments before you next paycheck.  So make the most of every day. Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors has the expertise to prepare your returns within 24-48 hours and immediately contact the IRS to start the release process.  The amount you owed the IRS will determine the amount of financial information you will need to provide.  Scott Allen E.A. of Mesa AZ offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

Mesa AZ IRS Problems no more

If you have serious Mesa Arizona IRS problems, unfiled tax returns or owe the IRS more than you can pay back, who should you use? Think for a moment before continuing to read further.  Who should you use?

The answer to this question might surprise you, but it is the first question you need answered before seeking help in dealing with the IRS.

If you have cancer you should see an Oncologist that specializes in your type of cancer.  But you certainly would not call an Oncologist unless you have cancer.  This analogy applies to Mesa AZ IRS matters.  The only time you need the services of a tax attorney for a tax problem is when you need attorney client privileges.  This is only needed when you have committed a criminal act.

Listen to this…In 45 years, Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. has resolved over 113,000 IRS tax debts, using the Offer in Compromise program, payment plans, tax motivated bankruptcy, non-collectible status, or expiring the tax debt using the statute of limitations.  Not one of these cases required the need for a Mesa Arizona Tax Attorney.  None of these clients committed a criminal or fraudulent act.  Not filing or paying your taxes is not criminal.  Not one of our clients have had their home seized or faced jail time.  It just doesn’t happen in real life situation.  The IRS would rather just work out the matter and move on…AND SO WOULD I.

These tax settlement options are NOT CANCER.  They are options that require the services of the best person in your local area that has performed these services consistently for several years.   Tax Attorneys have a way of using fear and intimidation to scare potential clients into over paying for Mesa AZ IRS resolution services that can best be done by an Enrolled Agent. In the 45 years we have been in business we have referred only 4 clients who had tax CANCER (committed a criminal act).  You would be upset if a cancer doctor told you that you had cancer, when all you had was a severe sore throat…but got billed for curing cancer.

In the vast majority of cases, you have a serious “sore throat,”  you are not in “stage 4 cancer”.  So rather than over pay, consider having a free initial consultation with Scott Allen E.A. first.  If you need the services of a  Mesa Arizona tax attorney, Scott will be the first one to refer you to one who specializes with your particular need.

If you have unfiled tax returns, Scott Allen E.A. can prepare the returns within 24-48 hours of having all of the information needed file the back tax returns in Mesa AZ.  Call Scott Allen E.A. today and save yourself the expense of using a “cancer doctor” when all you have is a sore throat. Schedule your appointment today to meet with Scott by calling 480-926-9300.  Let him be your Mesa Arizona IRS Power of Attorney!
See a recent accomplishment by Scott Allen EA for his client Matthew. Scott helped him settle his “sore throat” caused by an IRS audit that he didn’t initially respond to.  As you can see, over $11,000 in taxes, interest, and penalties were reduced thru the audit reconsideration process. It took a bit of time from beginning to end but victory was accomplished. This is just one of thousands of successes by Scott Allen EA.

Do I Need an IRS Tax Attorney Mesa AZ if I get an IRS CP 2000 Letter?

Scott Allen EA or an IRS Tax Attorney Mesa AZ

No, this is not a legal matter.  This letter is responding to income items not on your return that third parties have reported as paid to you.  If you agree with the amounts not reported you can simply sign the letter and mail it in.  The IRS will send a bill for the amount of tax owed on the items not reported.  If the items not reported have a cost basis such as stock sales you need to disagree with the CP 2000 letter and send in documentation showing the cost of the stock that was sold—in other words what you paid for the stock.  This will reduce the tax liability or if you had a lost on the sale of stock, it would result in a refund instead of a balance due. There are a number of other things that can cause the IRS to issue a CP2000 notice and its worth having a tax professional look into the matter.

Scott Allen E.A. is available for a free consultation if you have questions about your CP 2000 letter or need assistance in responding back to the IRS.  Scott can be reached at 480-926-9300.  He has come across many of these notices and has been successful in response to them.  I don’t believe using an IRS Tax Attorney Mesa AZ is necessary to get this type on mater resolved. These IRS notice letters have deadlines associated with them so it is important to response timely to them.

Need help with a payment plan? After you get your IRS debt as low as legally possible consult with Scott Allen EA to discuss your payment plan options. See a recent example of a taxpayer who used Scott for his representation rather than an IRS Tax Attorney Mesa AZ. View the approval notice below.

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.

Terry was strapped with a monthly payment plan on her Mesa AZ IRS debt of over $1,500/month. She met with Scott Allen (an Enrolled Agent) who was able to reevaluate her financial situation and successful cut her monthly IRS payment in half. Now she is only paying $750/month due on the 28th of each month. (See IRS notice below).

If you feel like the IRS is taking advantage of you requiring you to pay more than you can afford give Scott Allen E.A. a call to discuss your options. He will let you know if there is a better settlement option available for you or if you are in the best possible plan with them.
