Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalties from Tax Debt Advisors, Inc

The request process is two tiered. The first is to file your Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalties request with IRS Form 843. This form asks for details about you and the tax years in question. The reason for the abatement can be a part of the form or a separate letter attached to the form. Prior to sending in IRS Form 843, you should pay the amount of tax you owe or at least have a payment plan in place. The form gives the address where to mail it to the IRS. Submitting your Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalty request without having a good reason is like rubbing a lamp in your house—there will be no genie with the IRS. You cannot use the excuse that you want Mesa AZ abatement of IRS penalties because you didn’t know or understand the tax law. The IRS considers it your responsibility to know the law or use someone who does. The second process is to take your request to the IRS Office of Appeals. The reason still needs to be valid but you might have a more compromising attitude with an Appeals officer.
Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. knows the tax laws and will be able to competently advise you on your reasons for requesting an abatement of IRS penalties in Mesa AZ and the chances for success. Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. offers a free initial consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300 for an appointment.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.—You can extend the time to pay your IRS Taxes

Everyone is aware that you can extend the time to file your return with IRS Form 4868 for six months.  This is an automatic extension and it also extends the time to file your Arizona state tax return if you live in the greater Phoenix AZ area.

You can also extend the time to pay your taxes but you must show that you would suffer an “undue hardship.”  If you are considering requesting an extension of time to pay your taxes, you probably need professional assistance.  Even if you are approved to pay your taxes later, you will still have to pay the going IRS interest rate.  This interest rate fluctuates every quarter.

Remember that the failure to file penalty is ten times worse than the failure to pay penalty.  Never if at all possible file late.  It may not be possible to pay your taxes but most of the time you can file by the due date.  Many taxpayers are mistaken to wait until they can pay their taxes before filing them.  The failure to file penalty is up to 25% for the first five months you miss a filing deadline.

Call Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. for a free initial Phoenix Arizona consultation if you are considering requesting an extension to pay your taxes.  Scott can be reached at 480-926-9300 to schedule an appointment in the Phoenix AZ area.

Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. cautions you on the “Pennies on the Dollar” IRS Advertisements

Although it is rare to hear or read about “Pennies on the Dollar” settlements with the IRS anymore, they still exist.  The reason is that phrase was used by predators taking money and advantage of vulnerable Mesa AZ taxpayers looking for an escape from their IRS tax debt.  Another reason is that most of these predator companies are out of business.  The few that still lure unsuspecting taxpayers in Mesa AZ with pennies on the dollar promises are employees of these defunct companies still trying to take advantage of taxpayers.  If you received a phone call from a company not in your area—out of state—you are best to hang up and find someone local who has been in business for a significant time and who you can meet with face to face.

Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. offers a free face to face consultation about all of your IRS settlement options.
