Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. — how long can the IRS audit my tax returns in Mesa AZ?

First off remember that most people fear Mesa AZ audits more than they should unless you have committed fraud.  In general the IRS has three years from the due date of the return to notify you of an audit.  Your 2012 return is due on April 15, 2013 and the IRS has until April 15, 2016.  There a two exceptions to this rule.  If you under reporting income more than 25% the IRS has six years to take action and if you filed a fraudulent tax return there is no expiration date.

Most audits specifically target only a few areas.  Before you refill your medications for tranquilizers or anti-depressants, call Scott Allen E.A. at Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. as soon as you receive an IRS audit notice.  Scott offers a free consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. of Mesa AZ has been helping taxpayers for over 36 years.

Why use Scott Allen, E.A. with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc?

Who should be your Arizona IRS Representative?

  • E.A. stands for Enrolled Agent.  Enrolled Agents are authorized to represent clients in all 50 states.  Attorneys and CPA are only able to represent themselves to clients as Attorneys or CPA’s in the states that they are licensed.
  • An E.A. or Enrolled Agent must pass a rigorous test regarding their knowledge of tax law.  The Bar exam given to Attorney’s has almost no requirements for tax knowledge.  The same is true of the CPA exam.
  • IRS agents and IRS officers are known as “bill collectors” and are hired to get the largest payment or settlement they can—that’s their job.  Scott Allen E.A. is there to make sure you get the smallest payment or settlement allowed by law.
  • It can be very intimidating working with IRS agents and officers.  With Scott Allen E.A. you will be put at ease regarding your IRS problem and know that it is being handled by a competent IRS representative.
  • Many IRS employees are incompetent or only willing to do the minimum amount of work to keep their manager off their back.  You need IRS representation to keep your IRS agent or officer “on their toes”.  Scott Allen E.A. can request a conference with your IRS agent or officer if he senses that he is getting the “run around”.  That is something most taxpayers are unable to detect.
  • Not always but occasionally IRS agents or officers will take advantage of your lack of IRS procedures and policies.  IRS agents or officers know that an Enrolled Agent is knowledgeable of IRS procedures and policies.
  • Most tax preparers including CPA’s are not experienced in working with IRS resolution work.  Scott Allen E.A. expertise is in resolving IRS problems.

Don’t put your head I the sand.  It is only a matter of time before the IRS catches up to you.  Put time on your side by contacting Scott Allen E.A. today at 480-926-9300 for a free consultation and put your mind at ease.

Can someone actually get out of IRS tax debt in Arizona?

IRS Tax Debt in Arizona

The answer is yes, but some ways are easier than others.  Let’s face a few facts.  Some clients spent several years getting into tax trouble and are unrealistic to think that  there is a magic pill or potion that will instantly make the problem go away without any pain or effort.

A short story may be helpful.  One day my father took me over to my grandmother’s house to pull some weeds.  I had previously asked him if I could go to the beach with some friends that day.  When I saw the half acre with weeds up to my waste, I was convinced that there was no way I was going to be able to pull those weeds and go to the beach.  My father drove away and left me there.  He was gone for about 30 minutes and had returned to see what I had accomplished.  I had not pulled any weeds—not one.

Now I was told in no uncertain terms that I need to start the project and he would come back in 30 minutes to see how I was doing.  I reluctantly started the process.  I pulled one weed and it came out pretty easily.  The next pull I was able to get two weeds with just one hand.  Eventually I was able to get about ten weeds in one hand, then I figured out how to get both hands working and was pulling out twenty weeds with two hands.  When my father came back in 30 minutes, I was half done.  I was shocked at how much I had accomplished.  My father had taught me a very valuable lesson that day.  “One weed at a time.”  The project was completed in less than an hour.  If you had asked me how long it would have taken me to do that job, I would have guessed three days.

It is the same with IRS tax debt in Arizona.  I ask my clients to do one task at a time and to keep moving forward and before they know it, their IRS problem will be done.  The vast majority of clients say, “If I knew it was going to be that easy, I would have started this process a long time ago.”  I remind them that it wasn’t an easy process.  It became easier once they started.  That is the hard part—getting started and staying committed to the task.  Goethe said it best when he stated, “Are you in earnest?  Seize this very minute—Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Only engage, and then the mind is strengthened.  Begin it, and then the work will be completed.” 

This is true with your IRS tax debt in Arizona.  Do you earnestly want to get it resolved?  If so then engage in the process, begin the task, and as soon as you begin it you are half completed.  The second half will be easier to complete once you realize you are half done already.  A tax problem and a half acre of weeds had a lot in common.  With a one hour free initial consultation I can tell you what it will take to get your IRS “weeds” out of your life.

STOPIRSACTION.COM – DISCHARGING TAXES IN A BANKRUPTCY

Discharging Taxes in a Bankruptcy

Discharging taxes in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is one option available to settle your IRS debt.  But you have to have all of your ducks lined up ahead of time.  Here is a summary of your ducks.

1)      Make sure you have filed all of your past tax returns.  A return filed by the IRS called a substitute for return (SFR) is not considered a filed return.

2)      If all your returns have been filed, they must be filed for at least two years and it must be three years from the due date of the return before a tax year can be discharged.

3)      If you have been audited or the IRS has made some adjustment to your return or you have amended the return, it must be at least 240 after the adjustment before that tax year can be included in a bankruptcy.

4)      Income taxes are dischargeable but payroll taxes are not.

5)      You income must be below a certain amount which depends on your family situation and the year you are filing the bankruptcy.  If you have the ability to pay your taxes off by making monthly payments, the bankruptcy option is out.

6)      If you have significant equity in assets like a business, home or investment property, those assets will prevent you from filing a bankruptcy to discharge your taxes.

If you are considering filing a bankruptcy, I offer a free consultation to evaluate all of your settlement options.  I will refer you to a bankruptcy attorney who is the only one qualified to determine if you can file a bankruptcy.  I can determine what taxes will be dischargeable in the bankruptcy and get written proof from the IRS.

WILL THE IRS THROW ME IN JAIL?

Chances are the IRS will not put you in Jail

The IRS has almost unlimited power but the times that it resorts to severe action are very rare and never without giving you many opportunities to correct the problem.  Try to remember that in almost every case you are negligent not criminal.  Your IRS matter is like a bad parking ticket, not a hit and run crime.

We have never had a client lose their house or vehicle.  The IRS doesn’t want your house or car.  In fact they are required to allow you to have adequate housing and transportation.  You may have to trade in you Ferrari for a Toyota but you can still have a good safe vehicle.  If you live in a home that was paid for with your unpaid taxes, you may have to downside but the IRS gives you adequate time to make the transition.  But in most cases the client has previously decided that they cannot afford the home they are living in.

Unless you are guilty of income tax evasion, which means that you did not report significant amounts of income on your filed tax returns, you do not need the services of an attorney.  On over 113,000 tax debts settled over 45 years, we have only referred five clients to seek legal help and none of them were ever incarcerated.

The IRS does publicly advertise a few cases a year that get your attention.  Fear of criminal action is one of the best ways the IRS motivates the public into compliance of filing and paying their taxes.

Fear of IRS action is one of the main reasons clients procrastinate taking positive action to put their tax debts in a settlement and moving on with their lives.  Once you know what needs to be done to fix your IRS problem, your fear factor will be greatly reduced.  So stop living in fear and start living with purpose.  Call me for no cost consultation to see what settlement options are available to you.

INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF

Innocent Spouse Relief: IRS

On occasion, one spouse is totally unaware or responsible for the improper actions of their marriage partner on tax matters.  If this unfortunate situation occurs to you, innocent spouse relief is possible.  To qualify: (1) You must have filed a joint return which has tax errors caused by your spouse, (2) You did not know when you signed the return that there was an understatement of tax and (3) It would be unfair to hold you liable for taxes taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances.

Innocent spouse relief can reduce all of the tax, interest and penalties of the items reported incorrectly.  You will be held responsible for joint liabilities that were reported correctly that generated a tax debt owed.  On these debts the IRS can collect from either spouse in whole or in part.

To file a claim for innocent spouse relief, you must submit IRS form 8857.  Professional assistance will help you to provide the facts and circumstances of your case in the most favorable light.  Claims submitted can take several months for the IRS to make a decision.
