Enrolled Agent vs Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney

Enrolled Agent or a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney for IRS Relief?

Many struggling taxpayers are under the assumption that their IRS problem is severe enough to require hiring a Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney.  However a Mesa AZ IRS tax attorney is only required in criminal or fraudulent cases which is in less then 2% of IRS problems.  If you are going thru a random audit, have back tax returns to file, or owe the IRS more then you can pay back the good news is that none of these situations are of a criminal nature.  Take a deep breath because your situation is only delinquent.  Scott Allen is a licensed Mesa AZ Enrolled Agent specifically licensed to handle delinquent taxpayer situations.  As your IRS Power of Attorney he can represent you before the Internal Revenue Service.  Under his watch and directions you will not be levied, garnished or summons.

Scott Allen EA wanted to share with you a recent success he had with a client this year.  By challenging an audit the IRS placed on a client for his 2010 tax return nearly $60,000 in taxes, interest, and penalties were reduced.  A copy of the approval notice from the IRS is below for your viewing.  An expensive Mesa AZ IRS Tax Attorney was not needed to get this done. Rather finding the right person with the right relationships with IRS personal acting in a timely matter is what’s required.

Call Tax Debt Advisors in Mesa AZ to get IRS Auditors to Listen to You

IRS Auditors in Mesa AZ

If you are successful in getting Mesa AZ IRS auditors to listen, you have a much greater chance of having successful results.  Remember to the following suggestions:

  • Do whatever you can to not postpone your first appointment.  If necessary suggest you get together sooner if it is impossible to meet at the suggested time.  Almost always the IRS auditor will not be able to meet with you sooner and allow you to have a postponement without it damaging the auditor’s impression of you.
  • Hire a professional to represent you at the audit.  Taxpayers almost always talk more than they have to and this just opens the door to more scrutiny from the IRS auditor.
  • If you don’t know the answer to an auditor’s question, simply say, “I don’t know.  I will get back with the answer.  When do you need that information?”  It is much easier for a representative to say they don’t know the answers to areas that could cost you lots of money if not handled correctly.

stopirsaction.com — What are the IRS Collection Priorities for 2020?

stopIRSaction.com

1)      The IRS is filing IRS tax liens on all tax debts.  Revenue Officers are now required to file Federal Tax Liens as soon as they know there are taxes owed.  The number of tax liens has risen from a low of 410,220 in 2018 to 543,604 in 2019.  The IRS is making sure that they secure the tax debt before taxpayers can sell assets and use the money for other purposes.

2)      The Automated collection Service (ACS) has started issuing levies against wages and bank accounts immediately after the mandatory 30 day waiting period.  Normally the IRS would take months before issuing levies.  In the past ACS has given taxpayers 30 days to file any unfiled tax returns and another 30 days to propose a settlement.  We are now seeing ACS give as little as 3 days to file returns or make a settlement proposal.

3)      The IRS is taking more aggressive action on collecting on the trust fund recovery penalty.  Between 2012 and 2017 less than 24% of  assessments were collected.  Manny trust fund assessment penalties went several years before the IRS would try to collect.  By that time the taxpayer was less able to pay the IRS.  If you are behind on your payroll taxes, expect Revenue Officers to start immediate collection action after they assess it.

4)      If you are a non-filer or continue to owe year after year, the IRS has targeted you as a high priority.  The IRS knows that they may not be able to collect on past taxes but they will only accept this if you are staying current on this year’s tax liability.

With the huge budget deficits mounting each year and our national debt growing to dangerous proportions, congress has asked the IRS commissioner to step the timing of collection actions.  If you are struggling with any of the high priority items mentioned, contact me to discuss how you can settle your IRS matter before it reaches a point of crisis.
