I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere. It seems like virtually every single day I receive a notice on behalf of one of my clients from the IRS, and it contains penalties owed.When it comes to tax audits, the IRS wins 80% of the time when you are not represented by a qualified practitioner. Taxpayers are deemed guilty until proven innocent, which menas the IRS can start an audit by disallowing every deduction you made on a return until each one is proven to be legitimate. If a taxing authority has decided to audit you, it's important that you don't let yourself be pushed around by the IRS. Additionally, if you don't file your taxes, the IRS may file them for you. This is a bad thing as the IRS files t...

I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere. There are millions of taxpayers that run into IRS trouble, and many that get audited. But what if you don't want to deal directly with them?The great thing is, you DO NOT HAVE TO TALK TO THEM. As a matter of fact, going or talking to the auditor yourself is the WORST thing you can do!The Taxpayer Bill of Rights allows you to be represented by a qualified practitioner who can answer questions for you and provide documentation to the IRS. Many taxpayers attempt to handle their own audit or hire the person who prepared the tax return to handle it for them. The reason this usually doesn't work out is because most tax return preparers do not handle IRS audits on a fr...

I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere. Recently I had a client who owed less than $50,000 and wanted to set up an installment agreement, but also wanted to avoid getting hit with a tax lien filing. Generally, this is done by doing what is called a direct debit installment agreement, where forms are sent into the IRS, and once all documentation is processed, the IRS automatically withdraws the money out of your bank account.After properly setting up the agreement, we all thought it was a done deal. I was told by the IRS agent that the client would receive documentation by mail in 10-14 days regarding the agreement, and the payments would be automatically withdrawn starting the next month. Excellent. B...

I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere. The single biggest thing you can (and NEED) to do is get into compliance (ie - file your tax returns).  The IRS simply will not deal with you or speak to you unless they have the returns to work off of.Ideally, no matter what your tax filing situation is, the ultimate goal is pretty straight forward: file all of your back returns (typically the six most recent prior years), and deal with whatever amounts you owe for those years. There are several collection alternatives to resolve your situation such as an installment agreement and non collectible status. Equally important is getting up to date with your current year taxes. Just because your prior years have bee...

I focus my practice on tax resolution, representing taxpayers in Colorado, Florida, Texas, New York, California and elsewhere. I frequently hear the question: "I need to file my taxes, but I owe the IRS and state and don't have the money to pay. What do I do?"The answer to that question is: even if you do owe, file your tax return on time! The reason is this - many people don’t realize that the IRS charges a penalty of up to 25% just for filing your tax return late. That’s right - you will get hit with an additional 25% of what you owe if you miss the deadline for filing individual tax returns. What most people don't know is that you can file ANY tax return on time and avoid the 25% penalty even if you don't send in the money that is owed on the return. Did you also know that, even if y...

As a top Berkshire Hathaway agent, specializing in the North Denver suburbs and Boulder County, I often work with professionals that are relocating to jobs in Boulder Colorado.  In recent years, Boulder has become a hotbed for job seekers in fields such as IT, Biotech, and Academia.    Along with its new reputation as one of the nation’s most coveted places for tech professionals to work and live, has also come skyrocketing home prices.   However, many of the newly transplanted professionals experience extreme sticker shock, when they realize just how pricey Boulder real estate is.   With the average price of a single-family home in Boulder hovering just north of a million dollars now, all but the highest paid professionals quickly realize that they may have to settle for a commute.  Ne...

The Boulder, Colorado Reverse Mortgage can be one of the most powerful retirement planning tools available to retirees.

Hi my name is RJ Baxter and I'm a VA Mortgage expert here in Colorado. A friend of mine told me years ago that if I didn't focus on Boulder Colorado VA Home Loans that I was missing a big opportunity to help those who have served our Country.I took his advice to heart and now really focus on helping those who have their VA eligibility to buy a home. It's hard to believe, but only 9% of those eligible to use their VA Home Loan benefits to purchase a house do so. There's many reasons as not all Banks do Boulder CO VA Home loans and several Loan Officers simply don't know how to do them. The VA Loan is such an Great Program for those in Colorado. A few reason why it's so great: 1. 100% financing up to a purchase price of $417,000. 2. You only need a 620 credit score to qualify3.
