I received a notice from the IRS! What should I do?The IRS sends tax notices for many different reasons. They may be requesting information concerning a past-due account balance or may be initiating a brand new tax audit. We have listed some of the more common IRS notices below, but all IRS notices should be taken seriously. No matter how minor the notice may appear to be, it should not be ignored. If you need any assistance, please contact us and we can advise you as to the proper course of action in dealing with the IRS.

I paid my tax bill late. IRS sent me a notice with penalties and interest. What should I do?If you need more time to file your tax return, then you can file Form 4868, which will extend the due date of your return for six months (individual returns only). However, the extension for filing your taxes is NOT an extension for paying your taxes. If you owe taxes, you must pay the tax due in full by the due date of the return, or the IRS will assess interest and penalties on the balance. In certain circumstances, taxpayers can ask that a tax penalty be removed, or “abated.” This is where you ask the IRS for a waiver of the penalties based on what is called “reasonable cause.” The IRS will waive penalties in some cases, along with the interest associated with any of the penalties they remove. Some examples of “reasonable cause” include serious illness, death, divorce, natural disasters, war and other unexpected and traumatic events. We have extensive experience in filing penalty abatement requests. Please contact us to see if we can assist you in getting the burdensome tax penalties removed from your account.

I have old IRS debt. How do I handle this situation?Generally, the IRS has 10 years from the date that the tax liability was assessed to collect any back taxes that are owed. In many cases, the ten-year date starts to run when the tax return was filed or when additional taxes were assessed as the result of an audit. There are many variations to determining when the ten-year date actually expires. We can assist with ordering IRS computer account transcripts and analyzing them to determine when the IRS will no longer legally be permitted to collect your tax debts. In some cases, the IRS collection statute is expiring soon and “doing nothing” may be the most attractive option available.
-
I owe IRS payroll tax. What should I do?The IRS looks at payroll tax liability cases as a major priority. In fact, these cases rank higher on the IRS scale than do income tax audits, primarily because the IRS views these cases as “theft” cases. Payroll taxes are considered a trust tax, which means that it is your responsibility as the business owner to withhold some income and employment taxes from your employee’s wages and pay it over to the government. You will need to get this tax issue handled immediately or the IRS will make good on its threat to shut down your business. Furthermore, the IRS can go after you personally (and any other responsible parties) for the amount of the trust fund portion of the employment/payroll taxes. This type of tax issue should not be handled without professional representation.
