Scott Allen E. A. if you have a Federal Tax Lien in Phoenix Arizona

Federal Tax Lien in Phoenix AZ

When the IRS files a Federal Tax Lien in Phoenix AZ against you, it is the government’s legal notice of a claim against your assets.  The lien is placed to protect the government’s right to an interest in everything you own.  This includes your home and personal property and financial assets.

Before the IRS files a federal tax lien in Phoenix AZ they must first assess you a liability.  This comes from either a return you filed or a substitute tax return that the IRS has filed.  Next the IRS will send you a notice demanding payment with the threat of filing a tax lien.  If you neglect to pay the tax on time or enter into a settlement that will prevent the IRS from filing a tax lien—a Federal Tax Lien is filed against you by the IRS.

Ideally, it would be advisable to meet with Scott Allen E.A. when the IRS has assessed a tax liability with you.  That is when Scott has the ability to advise you on your legal rights that may prevent a tax lien being filed.  The longer you wait to respond, the greater the likelihood that you will not be able to prevent a tax lien from being filed or released.  Scott Allen E.A. offers a free evaluation of your situation.  Call Scott at 480-926-9300 to schedule your appointment.  Scott will make that day a great day for you!

My Husband Left Me With IRS Tax Debt. Do I Need a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney?

Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney or a licensed Enrolled Agent:

This situation is not a legal matter and does not require a Phoenix AZ IRS tax attorney.  The most common removal of the IRS tax debt is to file for innocent spouse relief.  Many wives find out that they owe large amounts of money to the IRS after their divorce or the death of their husband.

Often times the husband has not reported income or taken deductions that are disallowed by the IRS.  As long as the income was attributable to the actions of the husband and the wife did not benefit financially from this action, she can be relieved of the tax debt.  In other words, if the wife has a new car and a nice home from the bogus actions of her husband, she has benefited from his action and the wife would need to either sell the home or trade in her vehicle for a lower cost one to qualify for injured spouse status.

If the wife has been divorced or living apart for the last 12 months, the wife has 2 years to elect to file as married filing separately.  This allows the wife to be taxed only on the money she earned and not the income that was not reported to the IRS.

Scott Allen E.A. can help you sort through your scenario to see if you qualify for this tax procedure.  He is available for a free consultation at 480-926-9300.  Scott is not a Phoenix AZ IRS Tax Attorney but rather a licensed Enrolled Agent here in Arizona.

What will IRS do when they find out I have not filed back tax returns? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Back Tax Returns in Phoenix AZ

Eventually, the IRS will compare income reported by 3rd party payers and match them against your social security number and prepare substitute tax returns if you have unfiled back tax returns in Phoenix AZ.  These returns allow the IRS to take action against you like liens, levies and garnishments.  Substitute returns give no credit for any deductions or cost basis which will greatly overstate the tax as well as the interest and penalties for late filing.  The IRS doesn’t punish for non-payment (1/2% per month) as much as for non-filing (5% per month).   Consider not filing back tax returns in Phoenix AZ like ignoring dealing with cancer—time will only make it worse.  The time to face non filing is now.  You will have more time to gather important tax information if you file on your own before the IRS knocks on your door.  Recently the IRS has demanded tax returns to be filed in as little as three days to avoid levies on bank accounts or garnishment of wages.   Call me for a free confidential initial consultation to determine the best way to get your back tax returns in Phoenix AZ filed and settled.

What are the pros and cons of filing Bankruptcy to discharge my IRS tax debt? From Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.

Discharging IRS Tax in Bankruptcy Phoenix AZ

Pros

Immediately there is an automatic halt of all collection action by the IRS.  Discharging IRS tax in bankruptcy Phoenix AZ can be used when an IRS Offer In Compromise is rejected or you do not have the funds to pay the amount the IRS wants to be paid with your Offer.  It may be possible to wipe out all interest, penalties and tax liability.

Cons

Discharging IRS tax in bankruptcy Phoenix AZ will hurt your credit.  Some taxes such as payroll tax debts are not dischargeable.  Attorney fees are expensive.  If you are close to the statute of limitation, it maybe better to enter an installment arrangement or non-collectible status until the time the IRS has to collect the tax expires.

If you filed a fraudulent return it cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.  There is a waiting period of two years from assessment and three years from the due date for filing the return.

——————

My service to you is to tell you when your taxes are dischargeable in a bankruptcy and compare filing a bankruptcy with other IRS settlement options.  I will then refer you to a competent bankruptcy attorney who will determine if you qualify to file a bankruptcy and answer any questions you have on how IRS tax bankruptcy will affect you.

What is the difference between Revenue Officers, Revenue Agents and Special Agents?

 IRS Revenue Officer in Phoenix AZ

A Revenue Officer in Phoenix AZ is responsible for collecting taxes.  If someone comes to your home or place of business from the IRS it is probably a Revenue Officer.  They are responsible to for collecting taxes and locating nonfliers.  Their first priority is to find out the quickest way to collect the taxes owed.  They carry badges to identify who they are.  If you ignore their requests you may soon find that your wages or bank accounts are levied.  They are graded on the number of cases they close and the amount of money they collect.

A Revenue Agent in Phoenix AZ audits tax returns filed.  They have authority to meet you at your home or place of business.  Most taxpayers are notified of an audit by mail.  They are trained to find unreported income.  If the amount of unreported income is significant your case can be turned over for a criminal investigation.

Special Agents in Phoenix AZ do criminal investigations.  Special agents make unannounced visits and have a prepared list of questions.  If you are contacted by Special Agents, you should respectfully decline to answer their questions and seek legal counsel.

I work everyday with Revenue Agents and Revenue Officers in Phoenix AZ.  If you are contacted by an IRS Special Agent, I can refer you to an attorney who specializes in IRS criminal investigations.

Is the Appeals Office any easier to work with than an auditor or collections?

IRS Appeals Office Phoenix AZ

Yes, because the IRS Appeals office Phoenix AZ generally has more authority to compromise when the matter in dispute is in a “grey area.”  Auditors and collections are pretty much black and white on their decisions.  If there is any question, they will deny what might be approved of by the Appeals office.  Also, the Appeals office will do all that they can to prevent the matter going to tax court.  Tax court is an expensive and time consuming procedure that the IRS would prefer to avoid.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN AN IRS AGENT CONTACTS ME?

An IRS Agent has contacted me

What should you do if an IRS agent shows up at your business, place of employment or your home.  The best thing to do is to tell the IRS Agent that you wish to consult a representative before proceeding any further.  If you ask this, the IRS must stop the interview immediately.  If the IRS agent does not allow you to have representation they are violating Internal Revenue Cope Section 7521 (b) (2) which says.

“If the taxpayer clearly states to an officer or employee of the Internal Revenue Service at any time during any interview (other than an interview initiated by an administrative summons issued under subchapter A of chapter 78) that the taxpayer wishes to consult with an attorney, certified public accountant, enrolled agent, or any other person permitted to represent the taxpayer before the Internal Revenue Service, such officer or employee shall suspend such interview regardless of whether the taxpayer may have answered one or more questions.”

Requesting representation does not make you look guilty.  In most cases the IRS representative will feel that you know your rights and that you are serious about following through.  In a nice way, it notifies the agent that you are not frightened by their efforts to catch with your guard down.  The agent will give you a card and a deadline to get back to them with your representative, who will need to file an IRS form 2848.

Your representation needs to contact the IRS as soon as possible to find out specifically what the IRS is seeking—filing back tax returns, pay back taxes, etc.  I can represent you before the IRS without you being present and in most cases that is the best way to work with the IRS.  In certain cases the IRS can issue a summons that requires you to be present whether or not you have a representative.

One final suggestion.  Never get mad or argumentative or issue any threats.  This is a signal to the Agent that you are not going to be cooperative and will make things harder for your representative and perhaps increase the extent of the work needed to get a settlement with the IRS. Schedule a free consultation to visit with Scott Allen EA so he can discuss your matter and give you good reliable advice. If you see fit, he can be your IRS power of attorney and represent you from start to finish.
