How Does the IRS Punish Mesa Arizona Taxpayers for not Filing on Time?

Before you fail to file on time due to procrastination or fear consider the following:

  • Once the IRS files a substitute for return, you cannot discharge the tax debt for that year in a bankruptcy.
  • The IRS can prosecute you for refusing to file returns which can result in one year in prison for each year not filed.
  • The interest and penalties can double or triple the amount due by the time you file your return.
  • Social security benefits will be lost if you are self-employed and fail to file within three years of the due date.
  • Refunds will be lost if the returns are not filed within three years of the due date.
  • Earned income credit will be forfeited if you do not file within three years of the due date.

Filing on time is the best way to avoid a serious tax problem with the IRS in Gilbert or Mesa AZ.  Scott Allen E.A. has the expertise to file back tax returns and negotiate the best settlement allowed by law if you owe.  Call Scott Allen EA today at 480-926-9300 to schedule a free initial, in office, appointment.

How to avoid an IRS audit in Arizona? IRS help from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

 Avoid IRS Audit for Arizona Residents

  • Use a tax program.  Manually prepared returns are pieces of paper begging for attention.
  • Don’t believe all the advice that shows up on the internet and news shows during tax filing season.  Some of the advice I have heard would actually increase the likelihood of being audited.
  • Extend the filing of your return.  I have yet to have a client come in for an audit that filed a return right before the October 15th deadline.  Of course the return has to be filed correctly.
  • Report all income that the IRS knows about.  That would include all W-2’s, 1099’s and K-1’s—especially the ones that your thought were not going to be reported to the IRS.
  • Avoid the home office deduction.  I have literally had to charge some clients more for the preparation of this tax form than the benefit they were getting.  The home office deduction is rarely worth the tax savings and the risk of an audit.  If you have a home office deduction that amount to $1,000 and you are in a 15% tax bracket the savings is only $150.

But if you do get audited, get professional help.  It will pay for itself each year you file in the future and minimize your exposure for the year or years being audited.

How long before the IRS discovers I have unfiled tax returns? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

“I have unfiled tax returns…”

It may take several years before the IRS will contact you regarding unfiled tax returns.  However this works against you.  The interest and penalties on unfiled returns can double the amount you owe in just a few years.  As time goes by many records that can reduce your liability have been lost.  Your memory of what happened several years ago will fade and you will likely pay much more on your taxes if you had filed returns sooner.  Many clients miss one year and when nothing happens another year goes by and then another.  Before you know it six or seven years has passed and your tax problem will be getting more difficult to deal with each deadline missed.  There is also a serious psychological burden carried when you have unfiled tax returns.  You know that a day of reckoning will come and decisions that can be made are postponed and opportunities will be permanently lost.  Time is never on your side when you have unfiled tax returns.  By filing returns on time even if you do not have the money to pay taxes owed is far better than not filing and taking on additional penalties and interest.  Call me today for a free confidential initial consultation to get started.

I am separated from my spouse. Who is entitled to claim our children as dependents? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Claim our Children as Dependents

The general rule according to IRS Publication 17 is that the parent with the custody for the majority of the year is eligible to claim the children as dependents.  A divorce decree, decree of separate maintenance, or custody decree should specify who is entitled to claim the children as dependents.

Child support payments do not entitle the spouse making the payments to claim the children as dependents.  A noncustodial parent may claim the children if the custodial parent signs IRS form 8332 and agrees to not claim dependency exemptions for the children.

Can other government agencies take my refund? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Someone took my IRS Refund

The IRS will send your refund to other government agencies.  This includes debts owed on back child support.  If there is an error on your child support debt, you should contact the agency directly.  Calling the IRS about the error will not stop your refund or future refunds from going towards the debt owed.

If you do not want your refund to go towards past child support payments—adjust your withholdings so that you only have enough withheld to cover your tax liability.  This will give you time to work out any disagreement you have over amounts due without losing future refunds.

Can I appeal what the IRS says I owe? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Appeal what the IRS says I owe

Yes, but there are procedures that need to be followed exactly and timely to get appropriate relief.  There are two kinds of appeals.

The first is a Collection Due Process (CDP) appeal which is filed on IRS Form 12153.  This appeal is used when you have received an IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien, a Final Notice of Intent of Levy or a Levy on your state refund.

The second is a Collection Appeals Program (CAP) which is filed on IRS Form 9423.  This is appeal is used when the IRS rejects your proposed installment agreement, termination of your installment agreement, when the IRS levies or seizes your property and when the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien.

Call me today if you are facing any of these threatening IRS actions to schedule a free consultation on how I can help you appeal your case.

Form 8546: Claim for Reimbursement of Bank Charges Incurred Due to Erroneous Services Levy or Misplaced Payment Check

IRS Form 8546

Yes, the IRS is known for making mistakes from time to time.  When the IRS, by known mistake, levies one of your accounts and you have proof or substantial documentation Form 8546 can be filed to get reimbursed for the expense.

Is it worth filing Form 8546?  Yes, depending on the circumstances and the amount that you are asking the IRS to refund.  However, usually charges are relatively small amounts and is only going to be worth it if that taxpayer prepares and files Form 8546 on his or her own as the fee a professional might have to charge would nearly equal the amount you are trying to get refunded.

What expenses will the IRS refund?  The IRS will refund bank charges that include a financial institution’s customary charge for complying with the levy instructions and charges for overdrafts that are a direct consequence of an erroneous levy.  In addition, there are times when a taxpayer’s check may be lost or misplaced in processing.  When the IRS asks for a replacement check, the taxpayer maybe reimbursed for bank charges incurred in stopping payment on the original check.  The charges must have been paid by the taxpayer and must not have been waived or reimbursed by the financial institution. All claims must be filed within one year after the expense.

Form 8546 is a one page form with a one page instruction.  Please read the entire form before submitting and be sure your claim meets all the requirements.  Include copies of required documents.
