Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.—How do I file tax returns when I have lost my records?

File tax returns in Chandler AZ

It is not uncommon for Chandler AZ clients who have not filed for several years to have lost records due to moving, or a flood or a break in, or other reasons.  All is not lost if you have lost your records.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. (near Chandler AZ) will be able to get all of your records that have been reported to the IRS.  Once you know your income items then you have a good idea of where to start with your deductions.  Some deductions such as home mortgage interest deductions are reported to the IRS.  Bank records can be searched on line or ordered if necessary.  Many deductions can be substantiated as a natural cost of doing business—i.e. fuel if you are a truck driver.

If you have tax returns from prior years that need to be filed and your records are lost or incomplete, you need professional assistance from Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors, Inc.  Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. offers a free consultation and can be reached at 480-926-9300. Often times it is best to not fight the IRS alone and to go in with proper experienced representation.

Melissa is someone who hired Scott as her Power of Attorney to file her tax returns in Chandler AZ. A few of her tax years were already filed but were filed incorrectly misreporting income. Because of this error, the IRS initiated an audit and assessed her over $10,000 in additional taxes owed. Scott Allen E.A. was able to research the matter and advised her of preparing an amended tax return in protest to what the IRS did.  They did just that and as you can see from the approval notice below that it reduced what she owes the IRS by $5,000. After getting this all corrected for her they are now negotiating her IRS debt into one low payment plan settlement.
