Tax Resolution
Tax resolution involves all attempts to assist a taxpayer in clearing a tax debt. No one is exempt from tax issues. Some times, these issues can arise out of no fault of your own. You must have a reliable tax partner to help you resolve these tax issues.
Tax resolution involves IRS payment plans, the offer in compromise, innocent spouse programs, penalty abatement, and more.
Tax laws are always changing. Despite common belief, owing to the Internal Revenue Service is not a crime. Below are some of the common reasons why you may find yourself in debt to the IRS:
- Ignorance: Keeping up with tax laws can be daunting. Defaults and missed deadlines can attract penalties.
- A Mistake Made by Your Spouse: Married couples can file taxes together. A mistake made by your spouse during filing could land you in trouble.
- Extra Income: When you sell an asset, there is more revenue coming in—consequently, a larger tax bill.
- Life Changes: As your kids grow up and move out, the number of dependants reduces.
Tax Resolution for Individuals
Failing to observe tax laws could land you in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. Here are some tax issues that are common among taxpayers:
- Tax Penalties: the failure to observe tax laws could attract penalties.
- Tax Liens: A lien is a legal claim against your Massachusetts property. A lien blocks you from selling the property or asset. Liens act as security for your tax debt.
- Tax Levy: A tax levy is a legal provision that authorizes the seizure of your property. The IRS may impose a tax levy against your property to settle your tax debt. Intellectual property, financial assets, vehicles, and real estate are subject to seizure.
There are different avenues for tax resolution that are available for individuals. These include IRS installment agreements, penalty abatement, innocent spouse programs, and the IRS offer in compromise. 1. IRS Installment Agreements The IRS installment agreements are a set of payment plans that aim at tax resolution. There are four types of payment plans available to you.
- The Partial Payment Plan: This installment agreement will ensure that you pay only part of your total tax bill. To qualify for the partial payment plan, you need to provide evidence of financial strain.
- The Streamlined Installment Agreement: Here, you are to pay your total tax debt in 72 months through equal installments. If you owe a total of $7,200, your monthly payment will be $100 each for 72 months.
- The Tiered Agreement: Instead of paying equal monthly installments, your monthly obligations may increase at some point. This plan is advantageous when you are servicing a loan. As soon as you complete paying your loan, your monthly installment can increase.
- The Full Pay Agreement: If you are unable to settle your tax debt within 72 months, the IRS will let you into this program. Here, you pay your full tax debt over an extended period (over 72 months).
- The IRS Offer in Compromise
The IRS may let you negotiate a deal that will have you settle your total tax debt with a fraction of the amount. It sounds like a great deal, but not everyone can qualify for this “Penny to the dollar” offer.
The IRS will let you make them an offer. This offer has to be the most realistic amount that they can recover from you. Contact us, let us evaluate your situation and find out if you qualify for this fantastic offer.
- The Innocent Spouse Program
American tax laws allow couples to file their returns together. Omitting or withholding information from the IRS can prove costly. When these errors are your spouse’s mistakes, the innocent spouse program applies.
- Penalty Abatement
You may find yourself in debt to the IRS through no fault on your part. In such a situation, you can qualify for penalty abatement. In this program, the IRS will remove the penalties.
Tax Resolution for Small Businesses
Businesses have tax responsibilities. Failure to adhere to tax compliance and tax laws could land your company in some trouble with the IRS.
Failure to pay back taxes for your small business has various consequences. Penalties and interests are common punishments for delinquent taxes. The inability to pay your back taxes may trigger a forcible collection by the IRS. At first, the tax body will impose a tax lien on your company property.
The Lein blocks you from using the property in question as security for a loan or sale. In the meantime, the lien acts as security for your tax debt.
Failure to resolve a federal lien may result in a levy. A levy is a legal provision that authorizes the seizure of your company’s assets. When your company faces a levy or lien, you must seek a tax resolution.
Resolving IRS Tax Liens
A release involves resolving a tax lien to the point of completion. After the release, the government withdraws its rights to your property. You are free to sell the asset or use it to secure a loan. However, the leam remains as a permanent record in your credit report.
There are three ways to release your tax liens:
Direct Debit Installment Agreement: These are a series of payment plans. They include automatic withdraw money from your bank (monthly garnishments).
Malpractice on the Side of the IRS: If you can prove malpractice on the side of the IRS, the tax body will have to release your tax lien.
Expiration of the Statute of Limitation: If the IRS fails to resolve your tax debt within the deadline, the lien expires.
Filing For Bankruptcy
When you face a tax lien, you are probably worried about losing your hard-earned assets. Our dedicated team of tax experts and CPAs can help you navigate through your tax troubles. Filing for bankruptcy could provide the resolution avenue for your business.
Bankruptcy may stop the IRS from collecting back taxes. You get a clean slate and a fresh start. Bankruptcy also discharges any penalties or interests associated with your back taxes.
