UNOPENED LETTERS FROM IRS/STATE

  1. Bring in the notices and paperwork you get from the IRS/STATE as soon as you receive them for a consultation. There are times I can take care of your matter at the first consultation.
  2. I hate to tell you that your Pension, Retirement or Social Security Check may be not safe. The IRS/STATE never forgets….once they find your source of income then it is Pay Day for them.
  3. In order for me to deal with the IRS/STATE on your behalf your personal and business tax returns must be filed. If you are behind, as many people are that owe the IRS/STATE, we have an easy way to complete old tax returns……even if your records are lost. Once all returns are filed the IRS/STATE will listen, but not until then.
  4. By retaining me, l it is very likely I can reduce the amount you owe to an affordable number or get rid of the tax liability completely.
  5. I can definitely tell you the worst thing you can do if you owe taxes is to do nothing!
  6. I find my clients keep their heads in the sand as they do not know what the IRS/STATE will do with their issue.
  7. Getting a letter from the IRS/STATE doesn’t necessarily mean you will be audited. However you may have a more positive outcome if you take care of this matter sooner than later. I try to help you avoid litigation and work toward a resolution.

FEAR - HEAD IN SAND

  1. Don’t worry, I will handle all the meetings and correspondence with the IRS/STATE.
  2. I make the IRS/STATE call me, NOT YOU, so you can carry on with your normal life.
  3. I can definitely tell you the worst thing you can do if you owe taxes is to do nothing!
  4. During an audit of the IRS it became known that in 1/3 of the IRS cases reviewed, the IRS failed to notify taxpayers before a levy, lien or seizure.
  5. In my experience the average client fears the IRS/STATE for all the wrong reasons – so they procrastinate.
  6. Getting a letter from the IRS/STATE doesn’t necessarily mean you will be audited. However you may have a more positive outcome if you take care of this matter sooner than later. I try to help you avoid litigation and work toward a resolution.

WHEN DO I HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY

  1. By retaining me it is very likely I can reduce the amount of tax you owe to an affordable number or get rid of the tax liability completely.
  2. In my experience almost every taxpayer is eligible for some type of IRS repayment program.
  3. During a consultation I may be able to evaluate your issue immediately and talk to you about what the next steps are or how big your problem is.
  4. Dealing with the IRS/STATE directly might be very detrimental even if you are completely innocent. Generally it is not wise to speak with the IRS before consulting a tax attorney. Even the most innocent mistake in a seemingly normal conversation can lead to a very complicated situation and make matters worse for you.
  5. At the consultation I will go over your options which probably will include signing a retainer agreement and a retainer fee.

UNDERSTANDING TV ADVERTISMENTS

  1. Remember the IRS employees are paid to look out for the government’s interest, NOT YOURS! Be careful to watch for false Tax Advertisers. TV ADVERTISING
  2. During the consultation if I think your problem is an easy issue and can be handled by you I will be happy to suggest what you might consider doing unlike some of the tax advertisements. TV/RADIO ADVERTISEMENTS
  3. Remember Roni Deutch, JK Harris, Tax Masters, 3 well known firms you saw on TV and heard on radio, asking you to call their 800#, ARE ALL OUT OF BUSINESS! Beware don’t be fooled.
  4. I have represented clients who paid large sums of money and were very dissatisfied with the service they received. I am local, answer my own phone – emails and available to personally handle your tax matter.

IRS/STATE SENSITIVE AUDITS/ EXAMINATIONS

  1. Do not worry, I will handle all the meetings and correspondence with the IRS/STATE.
  2. My client’s audits are generally done in my office under my supervision. The IRS/STATE does prefer to do the audits in your home or your office however when I represent you I point out to the tax official THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT! Audits can be a lengthy process and may lead to an extensive in depth investigation.
  3. Please note, after the audit starts is not the best time to find out if it is a sensitive one.
  4. Beware some CPAs have a great deal of tax knowledge but many have never dealt with the IRS/STATE. Generally CPAs are not as aggressive as Tax Attorneys when dealing with IRS/STATE personnel. We are advocates for you, the taxpayer, and do not just blindly follow the IRS/STATE position.

UNREPORTED INCOME

  1. Are you worried you didn’t report all of your income? Any income you were required to report on your tax return but didn’t is “unreported income”.
  2. You would be amazed how the IRS/STATE finds your “unreported income”. The IRS/STATE uses indirect methods of detection, i.e. net worth method, expenditure method, bank deposit method, sales and cost of goods sold.
  3. Taking the first step with me is the way out of your problems. You need to help yourself get help and follow my advice. I am very successful in dealing with the IRS problems but you must be ready to follow my advice.
  4. If you are caught having “unreported income” the IRS/STATE agent can charge you with a penalty or refer your case to criminal investigations.

  3. Generally every expense you deduct needs a receipt in order to comply with the requirement of tangible proof of the expense.
  4. Living beyond your means is definitely a red flag.

UNFILED TAX RETURN

  1. There are cases for non-filers that I have been able to get them refunds.
  2. Federal and State taxing bodies look for unfiled tax returns or poorly prepared tax returns. The IRS uses a point value system and your return may be suspicious to them. This fact may lead to an examination.
  3. In order for me to deal with the IRS/STATE on your behalf your personal and business tax returns must be filed. If you are behind, as many people are that owe the IRS/STATE, we have an easy way to complete old tax returns……even if your records are lost.

IRS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

  1. Should your matter be of a criminal nature it may go to court. It is important to know when I, as your attorney, files the Power of Attorney to the IRS/STATE that gives me the authority to act on your behalf. This means I have ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE and I may NOT have to answer any questions asked by the IRS/STATE about your affairs if I choose not to. Non-Attorneys may be forced to answer the questions.
  2. If I suspect there is a criminal aspect to my client’s issue I discuss it right up front.
  3. There have been cases which I was able to get the criminal threats from the IRS/STATE dropped immediately.

CPA/PREPARER DEFENSE

  1. Remember whatever figures are put on your return are your responsibility – which is why it is important to look over your return carefully before you sign. The tax preparer’s responsibility is to prepare an accurate return based on the information you provided.
  2. During the consultation it is important for me to look over your returns for a CPA/Preparer error. That might entail working closely with the Preparer to make sure they used the proper information you gave them on your return.

INCOME-PAYROLL TAX FRAUD

  1. If you have a cash flow problem and don’t pay your employee payroll tax, the IRS/STATE, without notice can randomly drop by. The IRS takes an extremely strong position on payroll tax violations. They would rather close you down and sell off your assets instead of trying to work out a deal with you.
