irs debt: Tax Compliance – The Key to Resolving Tax Debt - 01/01/19 07:55 PM

irs debt: What Do These IRS Collection Notices Mean? - 01/01/19 03:30 PM
IRS Letters saying that you owe back taxes or have unpaid tax debt are scary. I get calls from concerned clients regularly who want to know what they mean. If you file a tax return and do not pay the tax due on that return, you will get a series of notices asking you to pay up. The notices start out as informational notifications but quickly escalate to threats of collection actions like wage garnishments, bank account levies and federal tax liens.

irs debt: What are the Chances that your Income Tax Return will be Audited? - 12/31/18 08:12 AM
For the vast majority of taxpayers, there is not much need to worry that you will be audited. In 2016, only 0.6% of individual income tax returns were audited according to the IRS 2017 Data Book. Why? For starters, the IRS budget has been cut resulting in more than 2,200 fewer agents available to audit returns. However, the “real” audit rate is closer to 7.o% as the IRS does not include the over 9.2 million notices that are questioning items on your client’s tax returns such as forgetting to include  a 1099-Misc form.  The IRS is relying more and more on technology  … (2 comments)
