What does innocent spouse relief mean? Both spouses are generally held responsible for all the tax due even if one spouse earned all the income or claimed improper deductions or credits. With an “Innocent Spouse Relief,” a spouse can get relief from additional tax you owe if your spouse or former spouse failed to report income, reported income improperly or claimed improper deductions or credits. Many married taxpayers choose to file a joint tax return because of certain benefits this filing status allows them. When filing jointly, both taxpayers are jointly and severally liable for the tax and any additions to tax, interest, or penalties that arise from the joint return even if they later divorce. Joint and several liability means that each taxpayer is legally responsible for the entire liability. Thus, both spouses on a married filing jointly return are generally held responsible for all the tax due even if one spouse earned all the income or claimed improper deductions or credits. This is also true even if a divorce decree states that a former spouse will be responsible for any amounts due on previously filed joint returns. In some cases, however, a spouse can get relief from being jointly and severally liable. INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF You must meet all requirements in order to qualify for Innocent Spouse. What are the types of relief available? You must request innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief no later than 2 years after the date the IRS first attempted to collect the tax from you. We can help obtain an “Innocent Spouse Relief” and we will determine if you qualify for the relief. There are three types of relief from the joint and several liability of a joint return: Innocent Spouse Relief provides you relief from additional tax you owe if your spouse or former spouse failed to report income, reported income improperly or claimed improper deductions or credits. Separation of Liability Relief provides for the separate allocation of additional tax owed between you and your former spouse or your current spouse you’re legally separated from or not living with, when an item wasn’t reported properly on a joint return. You’re then responsible for the amount of tax allocated to you. Equitable Relief may apply when you don’t qualify for innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief for something not reported properly on a joint return and generally attributable to your spouse. You may also qualify for equitable relief if the amount of tax reported is correct on your joint return but the tax wasn’t paid with the return. What are the requirements? Innocent Spouse Relief You must meet all of the following conditions to qualify for innocent spouse relief: You filed a joint return that has an understatement of tax (deficiency) that’s solely attributable to your spouse’s erroneous item. An erroneous item includes income received by your spouse but omitted from the joint return. Deductions, credits, and property basis are also erroneous items if they’re incorrectly reported on the joint return. You establish that at the time you signed the joint return you didn’t know, and had no reason to know, that there was an understatement of tax. Taking into account all the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold you liable for the understatement of tax. Separation of Liability Relief To qualify for separation of liability relief, you must have filed a joint return and must meet one of the following requirements at the time you request relief: You’re divorced or legally separated from the spouse with whom you filed the joint return. You’re widowed. You haven’t been a member of the same household as the spouse with whom you filed the joint return at any time during the 12-month period ending on the date you request relief. Equitable Relief If you don’t qualify for innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief, you may still qualify for equitable relief. To qualify for equitable relief, you must establish that under all the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold you liable for the understatement or underpayment of tax. In addition, you must meet the other requirements listed in Publication 971, Innocent Spouse Relief. Resources IRS.gov Client Testimonials Here’s what our clients are saying about their experience.

What is an Offer in Compromise? An offer in compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed. Absent special circumstances, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes that the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. In most cases, the IRS will not accept an OIC unless the amount offered by the taxpayer is equal to or greater than the Reasonable Collection Potential (RCP). The RCP is how the IRS measures the taxpayer’s ability to pay and includes the value that can be realized from the taxpayer’s assets, such as real property, automobiles, bank accounts, and other property. The RCP also includes anticipated future income, less certain amounts allowed for basic living expenses. We will work with you to present your financial information in the best possible light, and to thus increase the chance of successfully compromising your tax owed. OIC PROGRAM Let us settle your tax owed for a lesser amount. What should you do to qualify for an Offer in Compromise? It is very important for you to hire ethical tax professional to assist you with your tax matters. Not everyone qualifies for an Offer in Compromise, as each person’s financial situation is different. Pre-qualifying for an Offer in Compromise is an important step to take prior to attempting an Offer in Compromise with the IRS. The Internal Revenue Service issued a consumer alert advising taxpayers to beware of promoters’ claims that tax owed can be settled for “pennies on the dollar” through the Offer in Compromise Program.

What does Currently Not Collectible mean? Currently not collectible is the status which the IRS places on people who are unable to pay their tax owed. Currently not collectible (CNC) status means that your tax payments are postponed for a later time otherwise known as a deferred payment. Each year, taxpayers are required to file a return and some may owe taxes. If you are unable to pay your taxes owed, you may set up a payment plan with the IRS, also known as an “ Installment Agreement ” or you may qualify for an “ Offer in Compromise .” What about those who can’t afford to pay? If you are unable to pay your taxes, you may apply for the CNC status. With a CNC status, your tax payments are deferred until your situation improves. UNABLE TO PAY? Qualifying for CNC status means proving your financial status. How to qualify for Currently Not Collectible status? Talk to a tax professional to properly prepare your financial statement. The IRS may require you to file a financial statement (called a Form 433) and may also require you prove your monthly income with paystubs, bank deposits, and monthly living expenses (with receipts). In order to qualify for a CNC status, you must prove that you are unable to pay. That means you will need to document your financial situation. The IRS will look into your bank accounts to see if you have the means to pay the tax. If you do not have any assets, the IRS will require that you document your average monthly income and necessary living expenses. Their objective is to see if you are able to pay with an “ Installment Agreement .” Currently Not Collectible status protects a taxpayer from the enforced collection efforts of the IRS, by removing the taxpayer’s back tax account from active collection status. The IRS has requirements that an account must meet before it can be placed in a Currently Not Collectible status. Once the account is placed in a Currently Not Collectible status, the IRS does not pursue collection activity against the taxpayer and the statute of limitations on the tax liabilities will continue to run. Unless the taxpayer’s financial situation changes, the account will remain in a Currently Not Collectible status until the tax liabilities expire. If you are unsure on how you can pay your tax bill, consider consulting with our team of tax experts who can help you understand your options. Our firm can help prepare all the necessary documents needed in order to qualify for CNC status. Resources IRS.gov Client Testimonials Here’s what our clients are saying about their experience.

What is a bank levy? If you have failed to pay your taxes with the IRS, they can seize your finances and assets. The process of releasing your frozen bank accounts from the IRS is a “bank levy release.” A bank levy is issued by the IRS when your taxes remain unpaid and a resolution has not be reached. The IRS will freeze your bank accounts and seize any money in your bank account up to the amount that is owed including penalties and interest. The IRS can issue a bank levy as many times as needed until the tax owed is paid. The IRS is very determined in collecting your tax owed and will come after your wages and property as well. During an IRS bank levy, once the bank freezes your account, you have to make arrangements within 21 days. If you have failed to comply, the bank will send the funds to the IRS the day after. FROZEN BANK ACCOUNTS Obtain a California bank levy release to resolve the liability. How to release a bank levy? Talk to a tax professional and get help immediately. Do not wait until the last day to seek out a bank levy release as the process can take a few days.

What is an IRS Installment Agreement? To help people pay off any tax owed, the IRS offers various payment arrangements or payment plans that are subject to certain rules. An “Installment Agreement” are one of the various payment plans available from the IRS. An Installment Agreement with the IRS allows taxpayers to pay their back taxes to the IRS through monthly payments. This is a viable option for taxpayers who cannot afford to immediately pay their tax liability in full. There are guidelines regarding how the IRS determines the payment amount and time frame for the agreement. A taxpayer must also be compliant with all past tax filings before establishing the agreement. Depending on the circumstances and the amount of time that the IRS has left to collect the tax owed, the Installment Agreement may pay all or part of the back tax liability. PAYMENT PLAN You may be eligible to apply for a payment plan. How to request an installment agreement? Don’t Try to Go It Alone. The process isn’t prohibitively challenging but you should still consider consulting with a tax professional who has experience in handling tax owed. It’s important that you understand all your options, and you might need help negotiating the best possible monthly payment with the IRS. The tax professional you choose should know about the laws governing IRS collection of tax owed and how the IRS evaluates installment agreements. Your specific tax situation will determine which payment options are available to you. Payment options include full payment, short-term payment plan (paying in 120 days or less) or a long-term payment plan (installment agreement) (paying in more than 120 days). If you need help requesting an installment agreement to help pay your tax owed, please contact us for a free consultation. We can further discuss your current financial status and see what your best options are. Resources IRS.gov Client Testimonials Here’s what our clients are saying about their experience.

What is a wage garnishment? The IRS is permitted to garnish your wages and bank accounts until the amount you owe has been fully paid. Losing your wages, or having your bank account cleared out, presents a hardship to you that requires immediate resolution. If you owe the IRS for back taxes, the agency has the authority to levy or seize your property. A specific type of levy is the garnishment of your employment wages each week. However, before the IRS starts to take a portion of your salary, there are specific guidelines it must follow. Understanding the IRS garnishment rules may help you prepare for the garnishment or even allow you to challenge and stop it. Once the IRS assesses your tax, you will generally receive notice and a Demand for Payment of the amount due. If you fail to pay this invoice, at some point after you will receive a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and a Notice of Your Right to a Hearing. These last two documents must be sent at least 30 days before the IRS begins to garnish your wages. Before it reaches this point, you should contact the IRS and attempt to resolve the issue, possibly by submitting a request to get on a payment plan. PREVENT FINANCIAL HARDSHIP Don’t lose your wage or have your bank account cleared. How much can the IRS garnish? Talk to a tax professional to release your wage garnishment immediately. We conduct negotiations to release wage garnishments for our clients. In most cases, we can successfully get a wage garnishment released before your next paycheck is issued. When the IRS moves forward with your wage garnishment, your employer has no choice but to comply with the IRS and remit a portion of your wages to the agency to pay your tax bill. The IRS has more garnishment power than ordinary creditors insofar as it is not subject to the state and federal garnishment limitations, which means it can leave you with very little money each week to live on. During 2018 for example, a single parent with two children who files as head of household can be left with as little as $425.96 per week. This means that if you earn $1,000 per week, the IRS takes $574.04 of it, and if you earn $2,000 per week, it can take $1,574.04. However, the amount of your garnishment will depend on how much tax you owe. Unless the IRS agrees to an alternative resolution, such as a payment plan, there are a limited number of circumstances that require the IRS to cease garnishing your wages before your balance is paid in full. These include: The IRS discovers that the time period to collect the tax from you expired before it served the garnishment notice. The IRS did not provide you the full 30 days to respond to the notice. The agency is considering your offer in compromise or request for installment plan when an appeal is in process. It is always possible to request an appeals conference during the initial 30-day period after receiving your final notices. This is referred to as a Collections Due Process (CDP) hearing.

What is a sales tax audit? In general, sales tax returns are subject to audits in three-year intervals, at the time a permit is closed out, or in connection with an audit of another permit held by the taxpayer. Audits can also be initiated as a result of information received from the outside sources. In a sales and use tax audit, the auditor wants to determine the following about the returns you have filed: Did you report all gross receipts from sales of tangible property and taxable labor and services? Did you report the cost of all business equipment and supplies that -purchased without tax either from out-of-state vendors or for resale that would be subject to use tax? Did you properly claim deductions? Did you properly allocate local tax? Did you use the correct rate of tax when reporting sales in special tax districts? Did you properly apply tax to your sales and uses of tangible property? Initial contact is usually by phone call from the auditor.If unable to reach you by phone, the auditor may write or visit your business location. During the examination, if the auditor finds that your records indicate possible reporting errors, the auditor can utilize their many different audit methods such as mark-up method, sample basis audit, observation test at your business premises, and etc. When the audit is complete, the auditor will arrange to hold an exit conference to discuss the audit findings.If you disagree with the audit findings, you will then given your appeal rights. Under the California Revenue and Taxation Code, any person who evades the reporting, assessment or payment of sales taxes that would otherwise be due may be guilty of sales tax evasion.Violations can be subject to fines and/or jail time.

What is delinquent tax return? If you have failed to file your tax return, the IRS may begin its collection action against you. Usually, the IRS requires that you file delinquent (late) tax returns for the past six years. Failing to file tax returns can create serious problems. It can result in the IRS beginning its collection enforcement against you (e.g., levy against your wages, bank account and other assets). It can also result in a criminal offense. After compliance is secured, some of my clients receive refunds once their returns are filed and accepted by the IRS. We assist others in addressing balance-due returns with remedies such as installment payments and offers in compromise. If you have unfilled returns, or received a notice from the IRS or a state tax agency asking for unfilled returns, you may need assistance from experienced CPA who will protect your rights and represent your interests. AVOID INTERESTS & FEES File your past due return and pay now to limit interest and penalties. What if you owe more than you can pay? Talk to an experienced CPA and get help immediately. We can help you avoid any additional interest charges and late payment penalties. If you are self-employed and do not file your federal income tax return, any self-employment income you earned will not be reported to the Social Security Administration and you will not receive credits toward Social Security retirement or disability benefits.

Understanding the IRS Payroll Tax Collections Failing to timely pay over payroll taxes can result in significant penalties and interest, sometimes in excess of the initial tax that wasn’t paid. The government may be able to pursue the business owner personally for the business’s unpaid payroll tax liabilities. The Internal Revenue Code gives the IRS broad powers with regard to unpaid payroll tax liabilities. As a result, the IRS is particularly aggressive in pursuing businesses for unpaid payroll taxes. The government may be able to pursue the business owner personally for the business’s unpaid payroll tax liabilities. This is done by assessing the “trust fund recovery penalty” against a “responsible party”. Trust fund taxes are the income and social security taxes an employer withholds from the wages of employees. Although corporate officers, directors, stockholders and employees are normally protected from personal liability for the tax owed of their corporations, the IRS can assess personal liability against the so-called “responsible persons”. PAYROLL TAX COLLECTIONS IRS Payroll taxes often create the biggest problems for small business owners. What are payroll taxes for employers? Payroll taxes are defined as the income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare taxes that are withheld from the wages of its employees. These are also commonly referred to as “Trust Fund” taxes because the employer is supposed to hold these funds in trust before turning them over to the IRS. Employers face stringent obligations when it comes to their employees and their payroll tax obligations. Employers must make quarterly tax deposits to the IRS and complete a series of quarterly and annual filings to account for all payroll taxes withheld and deposited from the employers trust. Understanding Payroll Tax Liabilities Failure to properly account for a company’s payroll tax obligations or failure to properly deposit them with the IRS is considered a serious violation by the Service. IRS enforcement efforts have steadily increased over the past several years with respect to those who violate the payroll tax laws. In some cases, the IRS has even started prosecuting people through its Criminal Investigations Division for failure to meet their payroll tax requirements (payroll tax evasion). Too often we have seen business owners having cash flow issues fail to meet their payroll tax obligations, which can lead to disastrous consequences for the business.Utilizing IRS payroll tax deposits for other business expenses often creates a snowball effect and causes serious problems for the client business. The IRS is much less lenient with paying back payroll tax obligations than with other types of liabilities. In addition, because businesses are usually fruitful sources of assets that the Service can go after (and going businesses are usually generating positive cash flow), IRS revenue officers have been known to be particularly aggressive when it comes to dealing with outstanding payroll tax liabilities.

What is a tax lien? If you owe back taxes, the IRS gains a tax lien on all your assets. The tax lien attaches to all property and rights to property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), title and interest of the taxpayer. Once the IRS has a tax lien on all of a taxpayer’s assets, they may enforce that tax lien by administratively levying your assets. A tax lien is filed by the IRS to protect government’s interests. Our in-depth knowledge of the tax procedures helps to check if all the administrative requirements for lien filing were met. We can also try to convince the IRS that releasing or withdrawing the lien is in the best interests of the government and that it would facilitate the payment of the tax due. In appropriate circumstances, we can negotiate for a subordination of the tax lien. Furthermore, if you engage us in the early stages of the tax controversy, we may be able to prevent filing of tax liens through negotiations with the IRS. NOTICE OF FEDERAL TAX LIEN Prevent collection action on your assets. Get help now. How do tax lien affects you? Talk to a tax professional on how to avoid a tax lien on your assets. Paying your tax owed in full is the best way to get rid of a federal tax lien. The IRS releases your lien within 30 days after you have paid the tax owed. When conditions are in the best interest of both the government and the taxpayer, other options for reducing the impact of a lien exist. Assets — A lien attaches to all of your assets (such as property, securities, vehicles) and to future assets acquired during the duration of the lien. Credit — Once the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, it may limit your ability to get credit. Business — The lien attaches to all business property and to all rights to business property, including accounts receivable. Bankruptcy — If you file for bankruptcy, your tax owed, lien, and Notice of Federal Tax Lien may continue after the bankruptcy. You can avoid a federal tax lien by simply filing and paying all your taxes in full and on time. If you can’t file or pay on time, don’t ignore the letters or correspondence you get from the IRS. If you can’t pay the full amount you owe, payment options are available to help you settle your tax owed over time.

What is a Revenue Officer? Revenue Officers are by definition “Collection Officers” for the IRS. Revenue Officers are assigned to accounts to collect back taxes. Their objective is to collect the taxes that are owed as quickly as possible and to have the account paid in full. When taxpayers work with Revenue Officers it is very important that they understand their rights. Revenue Officers have the authority to garnish wages, levy bank accounts, to file Federal tax liens and to even seize assets. Although Revenue Officers hold such a position of power they must comply with statues and regulations set forth by Congress. I work closely with Revenue Officers to resolve your back tax liabilities. DON’T GO THROUGH IT ALONE We can help you face the intimidating tactics practiced by IRS Revenue Officers. How to release a bank levy? Revenue Officers can be assigned to a case for various reasons, regardless of how much you owe. However, if you owe more than $100,000 in back taxes, a Revenue Officer will be automatically assigned to your case. Once an officer is assigned to you, they will make an effort to contact you. This can be done through the mail, through the phone, or even in person. They have the right to inspect your property, meet at your place of business, or to inquire into any of your accounts. The Revenue Officer is just a person doing their job, but their job is to make sure you pay everything you can afford in back taxes, and their methods of persuasion will be felt. Therefore, having a team of professionals between you and the Revenue Officer is normally a good idea to resolve the problem and avoid business interruption. If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, and a Revenue Officer is assigned, ignoring the situation is never the answer. We can help you face the intimidating tactics practiced by IRS Revenue Officers. In working with Revenue Officers, our team has been able to close many cases, providing not only the taxpayer with the relief that they are seeking, but also allowing the revenue officer to have a closed file on their desk and provide the resolve that they too seek. As former IRS agents, we know how the IRS investigates this type of cases and what arguments they rely on in assessing trust fund recovery penalties.

What is an IRS audit? It is very important to protect your appeal and legal rights by selecting a right representative. As a former IRS Agent, we have significant experience to represent you before the Internal Revenue Service. Last few years, IRS has been hiring massive number of IRS agents to conduct more aggressive in the number and sophisticated tax audits.At the initial audit stage, it is more likely to involve with civil audit, not the criminal.IRS will request for proof of deductions, income, or any items reported on your tax returns.IRS will also look for any signs of inconsistency such as lifestyle habits for signs of unreported income by reviewing records, asking probing questions, and etc. An IRS audit is a review/examination of an individual’s or organization’s or accounts and financial information to ensure information is being reported correctly, according to the tax laws, to verify the amount of tax reported is accurate. DON’T GO THROUGH IT ALONE Protect your legal and appeal rights with a tax audit representation. Why was my tax return selected for an IRS audit? Talk to a former IRS Agent and get your tax audit issues resolved. If you have any income tax audit issue, we will represent you from the start to the end of the income tax controversy. Being selected for a return for audit does not always suggest that an error has been made. Returns are selected using a variety of methods, including: Low scores of your tax returns during computer screening Random selection Document matching Inside lead Related examinations – returns may be selected for audit when they involve issues or transactions with other taxpayers, such as business partners or investors, whose returns were selected for audit. Should your account be selected for audit, you will be notified in two ways: By mail By telephone The length of each audit varies depending on the type of audit, the complexity of items being reviewed, the availability of information being requested, the availability of both parties for scheduling of meetings and your agreement or disagreement with the findings.Based on my both side of experiences as a Revenue Agent and Representative, it could last few hours in one day or could last years. An audit can be concluded in three ways: No change: an audit in which you have substantiated all of the items being reviewed and results in no changes. Agreed: an audit where the IRS proposed changes and the taxpayer understands and agrees with the changes. Disagreed: an audit where the IRS has proposed changes and the taxpayer disagrees with the changes.You will then need to pursue with appeal process.
