IRS files some 980,000 Federal Tax Liens each year. These Federal Tax Liens wipes out and destroys the financial life of these people. Many of these Federal Tax Liens never should have been filed in the first place.

The credit life of these taxpayers are destroyed for years to come because of the Federal Tax Lien filing.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has recently rebuked the IRS in a report recently issued.

The Report on Wrongful Federal Tax Liens

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mails federal tax lien notices to taxpayers in a timely manner as required by law most of the time.

However, it does not always follow its own regulations for notifying taxpayer representatives and processing undelivered lien notices, according to a report released publicly today by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).

TIGTA is required by law to determine annually whether the federal tax  lien notices issued by the IRS comply with the legal guidelines in Internal Revenue Code Section 6320 and related guidance in the Federal Tax Liens Handbook.

The TIGTA auditors reviewed a statistically valid sample of 105 Notices of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) filed for the 12-month period ending June 30, and determined that the IRS mailed taxpayers  the federal tax lien notices in a timely manner as required.

However, the IRS did not always follow its own regulations for notifying representatives of the filing of NFTLs.

IRS Regulations.

The IRS Regulations require that taxpayer representatives be given copies of all correspondence issued to taxpayers.

TIGTA estimated that 43,817 taxpayers may have been adversely affected because the IRS did not follow requirements to notify the taxpayers’ representatives of the taxpayers’ rights related to liens.

Additionally, when an initial federal tax  lien notice is returned undelivered and a different address is available for the taxpayer, the IRS does not always meet its statutory requirement to send the lien notice to the taxpayer’s last known address.

From a judgmental sample of 250 undelivered lien notices, TIGTA identified four cases for which a new federal tax lien notice should have been sent to the taxpayer’s updated address because IRS systems reflected that the address was updated prior to the NFTL preparation.

These cases could involve legal violations because the IRS did not meet its statutory requirement to send lien notices to the taxpayer’s last known address.

The Report and the Violations by the IRS.

“After filing Notices of Federal Tax Lien, the IRS must notify the affected taxpayers in writing, at their last known address, within five business days of the lien filings,” said J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. “However, as noted in previous audits, the IRS did not always follow its own internal guidelines for notifying taxpayer representatives of the filing of the NFTL. Therefore, the rights of some taxpayers may have been violated when the IRS did not notify their representatives of lien filings.”

In TIGTA’s Fiscal Year 2009 lien notice audit, TIGTA recommended that the IRS enhance its systems to ensure taxpayer representatives timely received lien notices. However, the IRS corrective action has not been implemented yet.

In the report released publicly , TIGTA recommended that the IRS improve the controls and oversight for the processing of undelivered lien notices to ensure they are researched timely, and ensure the use of undelivered lien notice mail status codes is consistent in the procedures for the Automated Collection System and the Collection Field function.

IRS Changes.

The IRS agreed with TIGTA’s recommendations and plans to:

1) make changes to the respective internal guidelines to improve documentation and support the timely resolution of undeliverable notices, and

2) evaluate the use of mail status codes against resource demands to determine if implementation is feasible.

A $10,000 penalty may be imposed for failure to file Form 8854 when required.

IRS is sending notices to expatriates that have not complied with the Form 8854 requirements, including the imposition of the $10,000 penalty where appropriate.

The Instructions for Form 8854 (PDF) provide details about the filing requirements, related definitions and line-by-line instructions for completing the form.

IRS to collect Obama-Care Health Tax if not paid – just what we need , more IRS

More work for the IRS. Obama is putting them to work again in 2016 collecting unpaid heath care tax

So what is the taxing truth in regard to the IRS and the New Obama Care Plan?

When the law was before Congress, Obama and Democrats avoided calling its penalty for going uninsured a “tax.” But the Obama administration argued before the Supreme Court that the law was constitutional as a Federal Tax.

The Supreme rejected two other Obama administration arguments for the law but accepted the tax one. Strange!

In 2016, after the law is fully in place, about 4 million people will pay the penalty to the Internal Revenue Service for being uninsured, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated.

These taxpayers will  pay $695 per uninsured adult or 2.5 percent of family income, up to $12,500 per year.

The IRS can’t prosecute violators or place federal tax liens against them, however.

Its seems there only enforcement option may be withholding money from refunds.

The bottom line, IRS will place hold indicators on there computer system to freeze all refunds.

After a while taxpayers will figure that one out and simple adjust there W-4’s.

FBAR – Tax Settlements, Negotiations -Tax Attorneys, Lawyers, Former IRS – FBAR EXPERTS

 

With the aggressive position of the IRS on FBAR cases and the the new federal funding given to the IRS, the Service is going to ramp up a full force major attack on all FBAR cases.

The IRS has been training new Revenue Agents to have become ROBO-FBAR AGENTS to scare the taxpayers into submission and full tax compliance.

It has worked so far.

 

The commissioner of the IRS announced the IRS has collected over $5 Billion and much more is expected to come. Fear is a great motivator.

With this said, if currently you have professional tax needs in this area call us today for a free tax consult.

 

Speak directly with  Board Certified Tax Attorneys, Tax Lawyers, CPAs and Former IRS Agents who are tax experts in the field of FBAR tax settlements, tax negotiations. We can answer all your questions with a no cost first consult.

 

What is new with FBAR

The standard penalty was recently increased from 25 percent to 27.5 percent.

In December 2011 the IRS issued FS-2011 that appeared to soften their attitude and provided that penalties will not be imposed in all cases. Check with us and see if you qualify for this.

Taxpayer (s) that remain out of compliance will likely eventually show up on the IRS radar screen. With IRS cutting more deals with countries and with new tax treaties being developed with new countries every day, FBAR will become a daily topic within the IRS because of the sheer volume of revenue it brings in.

New Revenue Agents Groups within the IRS have been formed with many Agents currently being trained simply to work these FBAR cases.

It should also be known these are highly skilled agents working these case.

If a taxpayer is notified the IRS is seeking FBAR info, it is vitally important they seek out legal representation.

Many times the IRS will play the criminal card.

On large dollar cases, Agents have the ability to make a criminal referrals to CI if the Agent feels that tax fraud is involved.

The IRS post lists on their website of all their current convictions.

 

Innocent Taxpayers with Compliance Problems

Many of our clients/taxpayers come from places all over the world.

Most do not face exposure to criminal tax issues.

Criminal tax problems typically involve intentional actions to hide the ownership of assets and income such as offshore trusts, pure and out right fraud and shell-  type companies.

Most, about 95 % of our clients have simply failed to file FBARs, some have not filed tax returns for many years and these taxpayers do not owe any U.S. tax due to foreign tax credits as they pay higher rate foreign tax. Most are simply unaware or uninformed.

Reasonable cause and relief from penalties

There are a array of reasons the the IRS abates penalties and interest. There is a long list found on our website.

We usually go over the fact patterns of each individual  case and develop a tax strategy for a successful abatement of penalties and interest.

The IRS viewpoint on FBAR

The Internal Revenue Service is starting ramp up enforcement of there International Tax Program and the latest goldmine for the feds is found in the FBAR filings and payment.

To date the IRS has found over $5 billion Dollars in collectables. With that type of money on the table the IRS is not going to quit. This makes the IRS look good!

As a matter of fact the IRS is dedicating much of there millions in enforcement budget specifically to this FBAR project.

After speaking to several IRS agents, the management of the IRS is going to “make FBAR headlines with there enforcement”. They want to scare taxpayers to death.

What hangs over the head of many of the taxpayers is the fear of going to jail and this is huge. It makes people jump and scares them into tax compliance. And, it has worked!
