IRS Audit Myth Number 3: By Tax Debt Advisors in Gilbert AZ

IRS Audit Myths Gilbert AZ

If I ignore the IRS notices, they will forget about me—actually the notices are the IRS legal requirements before they take serious action.  The IRS will eventually find you whether you are self-employed or an employee.  Even if you operate a cash business, the IRS will eventually locate you by checking your social security number against any assets you own.  The real danger is that the IRS will eventually locate you at the worst possible time.  Back in 1992 we had a landscaper that was located by the IRS.  They went through the property tax rolls and found out that he owned a $2,000,000 home in Scottsdale free and clear.  When we asked him why he didn’t file tax returns for almost 50 years he said, “When I saw the destruction of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I figured that the world would come to an end before the IRS would find me.”  Well, the world did not come to an end and he lost almost everything he had and was facing criminal action due to his extreme negligence.

Don’t procrastinate your efforts to get back in the system before the system rolls over you like a steam roller.  Contact Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors near Gilbert AZ at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation to determine how to minimize the impact ahead of time.  A little preplanning will allow you to know what your settlement options before you commit to filing and paying your taxes.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. offers advice for a successful Gilbert AZ IRS audit

Gilbert AZ IRS Audit

  • When you have answered an Auditors question—shut up.  Auditors know that taxpayers are uncomfortable with “silence.”  Remember the one who talks first after you have answered the question LOSES.  That may sound a bit blunt to put it in these words but it is critical to a successful Gilbert AZ IRS audit.
  • Remember the Auditor is not your friend.  They are aggressive bill collectors no matter how friendly they may sound in your meeting.  When you get the bill from the auditor you will realize that they are masters at making you feel they are on your side.
  • Never miss an appointment and respond promptly if you cannot meet a deadline.
  • Never get mad or angry.  They IRS auditor will usually stop asking questions at that point and assume you are not cooperating and deny deductions or expenses that you are entitled too.
  • Don’t be too anxious to pay the bill.  You have rights to Appeal the IRS audit assessment.  Almost never go to Appeals alone.  You need a professional to make sure you don’t fail a second time.

Scott Allen E.A. helps Taxpayers Delinquent with the IRS in Gilbert AZ

Scott Allen EA helping Gilbert AZ Taxpayers

This analogy is painful but appropriate—an IRS debt is like cancer; it only gets worse with time.  I know a lot of people who delay getting tested for certain types of cancers, like colon cancer that cannot bring themselves to get a colonoscopy.  Then I visit a client who has gotten colon cancer which could have been prevented.  Quoting one client, who died of colon cancer, said “Tell everyone you meet who is over 50 to get a colonoscopy.  I didn’t and wished I had.  I could have had my problem taken care of easily but I waited too long.  Now I am terminally ill.”

You are never terminally ill with the IRS, but you will feel like you are by waiting.  I can’t emphasize enough the importance of scheduling an appointment with Scott Allen E.A. if you live in Gilbert AZ when you are delinquent in the filing or payment of your taxes.  Scott can do a “tax colonoscopy” and save you from unnecessary pain and expense.  Scott offers a free consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Call Scott today and he will make your appointment a great day for you!

Do I Need a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney For Trust Fund Recovery Penalties?

Trust Fund and Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney

The IRS is very aggressive in trying to collect on Trust Funds associated with payroll taxes withheld from employee’s paychecks.  However, this is not a legal matter and is not considered a criminal act and does not require the services of an Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney.  Most employers that do not pay in their payroll tax withholdings are struggling with their business and try to keep the business afloat by “borrowing” these funds with the intent to pay them back at a later date when business improves.

Unfortunately most businesses do not improve enough to pay the taxes with the penalties added.  When the business closes, these taxes are eventually reassigned over to the individual(s) responsible for paying the taxes.  This will include the owners and anyone associated with payment of taxes.

There are two areas of IRS representation work that may be needed with regard to Trust Fund Recovery Penalties.  If you feel that the IRS is unjustified in targeting you for payment of the taxes and penalties, we are able to evaluate your responsibility or lack thereof.  This is usually a black and white matter, but the IRS takes a “shot gun” approach and tries to include as many people without really knowing who is truly responsible.

The second area is making a settlement with the IRS if you are in fact responsible for the payment of the tax and penalties.  There are several options available to settle with the IRS for less than the amount owed, depending on your financial ability to pay.

Scott Allen E.A. of Gilbert and Mesa AZ has expertise in both areas dealing with Trust Fund Recovery Penalties.  Call Scott today and schedule a free consultation at 480-926-9300 to get an evaluation of what your options are.  Scott Allen E.A. will put your mind at ease knowing that you are facing this serious IRS problem with a professional who has successfully negotiated many favorable settlements with the IRS on Trust Fund Recovery Penalties.  Please call Scott for a honest second opinion if you are determined to think you need a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney for IRS Trust Fund Recovery Penalties.

Thank you.

My IRS Debt Keeps Going Up. Do I Need an IRS Tax Attorney (Gilbert, AZ)?

IRS Tax Attorney Gilbert AZ

Tax clients think that they will have to pay on their tax debt until their last breath.  IRS tax debts have a statute of limitations.  In other words there is a date when the tax debt will go away.  This is called the Collection Statute Expiration Date.  On this date your tax debt goes away.  Generally the IRS has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect the tax due.  You do not need to take any legal action thru a Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Attorney to get this information.  There are also many tax settlement options that can reduce or eliminate the tax debt before the statute runs out.

To evaluate your options, contact Scott Allen E.A. with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. for a free consultation at 480-926-9300 to see where you stand.  You may find that you can move forward in your life much sooner than you previously thought.

The most important thing to remember in letting your IRS debt expire is to file and full pay your current and future taxes on time.  As a tax professional Scott can file any and all tax returns to keep the IRS off your back until your IRS debts expire.  An IRS Tax Attorney Gilbert AZ typically isn’t the best option for tax preparation as their line of work is on legal matters.

Can I stop an IRS audit by filing bankruptcy?

IRS Audit and Bankruptcy

Even though filing a bankruptcy can stop all collection action, it doesn’t prevent the IRS from doing an audit.  An audit also extends the time that you can file a bankruptcy.  A bankruptcy can only be filed on a tax year 240 days from the time the audit was completed and any additional taxes assessed.

If you are going to file a bankruptcy to discharge your IRS taxes, then an audit is really only going to cause a temporary delay.  If you owe more taxes, the silver lining in an audit is that you will also get those taxes settled.  The only issue is what to do for the additional 240 days before filing a bankruptcy.  In most cases, we put our clients in a non collectible status or an installment arrangement.  If you qualify for a non collectible you do not have to make any payments to the IRS.  If you are put on a monthly payment plan, most clients make an average of 4 or 5 payments before they can file their bankruptcy.
