Calling for Tax Advice the Inexpensive Way
Internal Revenue Code changes have averaged one--per--day over the past eight years ---- with 500 revisions in 2008 alone. Who's counting? Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate, announced the statistics in her annual report to Congress. An independent organization within the IRS, the Taxpayer Advocate Service helps taxpayers resolve complaints with the agency when problems cannot be resolved through normal channels.
Will Advocate Olson's reports convince our lawmakers to draw back from their drawing board? Not during these troubled times. Expect them to enact even more alterations to an already confusing code in the immediate future.
How do individuals who need to focus on tax planning all year long keep on top of all those major and minor modifications? Most decide to become clients of tax professionals -- advice -- givers adept at assuaging affluent angst and able to avoid pitfalls adroitly while capitalizing on opportunities to diminish, delay or deep--six amounts that otherwise would swell IRS coffers. And that kind of advice does not come cheap. In locales like my neck of the woods near New York City, such clients should expect to pay hourly fees of several hundred dollars and up for guidance.
