by | Sep 26, 2013 | Tax Help

Fresh Start Tax
We are a professional tax firm comprised of tax attorneys, certified public accountants, and former IRS agents, managers and tax instructors who have a combined 60 years of direct work experience in the local, district, and regional tax offices of the Internal Revenue Service.
We are a tax firm that has been practicing IRS tax  relief and resolving IRS back tax problems since 1982.
We are A+ rated by the BBB.
Some Facts and then some,

There are hundreds upon hundreds of Internet sites claiming they can help resolve back IRS problems. Just pulled up a Google search and over 6 ,800,000 searches  just came up.
You should know right from the beginning that about 90% of all the advertising that you see on the Internet are from marketing companies that sell your information to third parties in hopes to land a sale for your business.
That’s right, your information is sold to third parties for $60.
The IRS has come out with several tax bulletins regarding fraudulent tax resolution companies within the past years warning the taxpayers to stay away from scam artists and companies making false claims.
The tax resolution industry for the most part has been turned over to sales people who have worked other business verticals such as mortgage, real estate and credit relief programs. When industries changes because of economic reasons or changes due to the federal law, these companies and sales people are forced to find other business verticals to work.
A large number of these sales people have found their way in IRS Tax Relief, Back Taxes,  and IRS Debt Resolution business.
While many of  them are good persons in general, they are sales people, they have no business working an industry they know absolutely nothing about.
Owing the Internal Revenue Service and state governments are serious problems and this work should not be turned over to persons who are not true professionals.
Many of these companies are in business today and gone tomorrow and many times with your money.
You can look at the companies like JK Harris, Ronnie Deutch, and Tax Masters all companies that had huge advertising budgets and wound up ripping thousands upon thousands of taxpayers off  with deceptive advertising.
One of the big advertising statements that have come out in the past marketing campaigns is ” settle your case for pennies on a dollar.”
You must know that this statement is very true, you can settle your case for pennies on a dollar but you  must meet very specific criteria to go ahead and make that happen.
Internal Revenue Service excepted 18,000 offers in compromise last year which is a 38% acceptance rate, the highest in the past 10 years.
To get  an IRS tax settlement you must find a good tax company who truly knows how to resolve your back taxes to make this happen.
As a general rule you want to do so with the company that has tax attorneys, certified public accountants, and former IRS agents as well as enrolled agents who know their business.
You can avoid many of these problems if you follow this practical common sense advice:
1. Check the Better Business Bureau report on the Company.
If the company is not “A”  plus rated, flee.
Please Note, many of these companies change names every couple of years.
2. Find out if there is a professional Tax Attorney or CPA on staff for more complicated issues and problems.
In legitimate companies,  Attorneys and CPA’s usually will not lend their names to scam artists.
Beware of companies too that sub their work out to third party firms that are not connected with the company. This is a common practice that these companies employ, they use backend companies to actually do the work and communication issues become a problem.
3. Check out how long the principles have been practicing tax or tax law. Most solid companies will find their principles have been practicing at least ten years or more. You will also find their bios listed on the website. If you are not dealing with a professional firm the company’s website will be absent of bios so that’s a red flag.
4. Ask if the company guarantees their work.
If a company is guaranteeing their work, flee again. No one can guarantee IRS results. If they guarantee your money will be returned if they are not successful, that’s another story.
5. Interview the person that may work your case. Ask about his or her credentials and IRS work experience.
6.  Skype the person face to face. Ask if the person has a video conferencing system. You will get a good feel with a face to face.
7. Ask the tax professional who is working on your case if they have worked similar cases. They all should be tell you they have because of their vast work experience.
Ask them about what typical results are given your financial history and information.
At the end of the day it is about work history, credibility, due diligence  and results.

How to Find a SOLID Tax Company for IRS Problems & Tax Relief

by | Sep 26, 2013 | IRS Tax Problem

Fresh Start Tax
The IRS has come out with several tax bulletins regarding fraudulent tax resolution companies within the past years warning the taxpayers to stay away from scam artists and companies making false claims.
Not only is the Internal Revenue Service warning taxpayers, the Atty. Gen. in three states have closed up three of the giant  IRS  tax resolution  problems company’s for a variety of reasons.
Because advertising through television and other media has driven so much work into these companies, the staff there simply cannot handle the work.
You may have heard of some of these firms.  They are JK Harris, Ronnie Deutch, and Tax Masters.
These firms have taken large retainers from taxpayers and have failed to do any work on closing their files with the Internal Revenue Service.
Several lawsuits of been filed and criminal charges have been filed against some of the fraudsters.
The numbers are going through the roof of  tax companies that are scamming taxpayers into thinking they can settle their case for pennies on the dollar and relieving by IRS Problems.
The tax resolution industry for the most part has been turned over to sales people.
Many of these persons have worked other business verticals such as mortgage, real estate and credit relief programs. When their industry changes because of economic reasons or changes due to the federal law, these companies and sales people are forced to find other business verticals to work.
A large number of these sales people have found their way in IRS Tax Relief and Resolution business.
While many of  them are good persons in general, they have no business working in an industry they know absolutely nothing about. Many of these companies are in business today and gone tomorrow and many times with your money.
We believe at some point the Internal Revenue Service is due a step in and regulate the tax relief, tax resolution business.
You can avoid many of these problems if you follow this practical common sense advice:
1. Check the Better Business Bureau report on the Company. If the company is not “A” plus rated, flee. Beware, many of these companies change names every couple of years and acquire a new business rating.
2. Find out if there is a Tax Attorney , CPA  or Former IRS Agents on staff. Ask to speak directly to them.
In legitimate companies,  Attorneys and CPA’s usually will not lend their names to scam artists. Beware of tax companies too that sub their work out to third party firms that are not connected with the company. This is a ploy used by most tax companies for IRS problems. When this occurs, communications and the processing of notice and letters in IRS correspondence fall through the cracks.
3. Check out how long the principles have been practicing tax or tax law. Most solid companies will find their principles have been practicing at least ten years or more.
4. Ask if the company guarantees their work. If a company is guaranteeing their work, flee again. No one can guarantee IRS results.
If they guarantee your money will be returned if they are not successful, that’s another story. This is a good place to check the Better Business Bureau rating  and check their complaint history.
5. Interview the person that may work your case. Ask about his or her credentials and IRS work experience.
6.  Skype the person face to face.
Ask if the person has a video conferencing system. You will get a good feel with a face to face.
7. Check out the Bio of the principles and staff.
Most companies on the Internet will not provide the bios of their professional staff because they are hiring third parties to do the work. This is another warning sign that you may be getting into problems.

Helpful tips to help resolve your IRS Back Tax Problems.

 
1. The IRS has Publication 594 – For the do-it-your-selfers, read the IRS Collection Process which talks about what to do if you cannot pay your taxes on time. It is comprehensive and thorough. It can help those with smaller cases we do not have the money to pay a professional tax firm work through and resolve their tax problem.
2. If you did not file your tax returns, file them immediately. The IRS will request this before the case is worked and closed. The Internal Revenue Service will provide copies of tax transcripts that will reflect your last seven years of income.
You can simply request this tax transcript as a starting point to prepare all back tax returns. You can do this by going online to IRS.gov or simply call one 800-829-1040.
3. If you have unfiled,back, past due or late tax returns  and you owe tax (married filing jointly), make a decision whether or not to include both husband and wife on the liability. Sometimes it is better to only have one party responsible for the tax. It is best to have a tax preparer  figure out the backs tax strategy for you keeping in mind that you need to pay IRS back.
4. If you owe less than $25,000, you can get a streamline agreement automatically. Just call the automated service at the IRS, 1 800 829-1040, to make the arrangements. On cases over $25,000 I suggest you call a professional tax firm to help resolve this debt because some complications may occur.
5. Make sure you do some asset planning before calling the IRS. The Internal Revenue Service may ask you to liquidate some assets so be apprised of the situation now.
6. If you have a pension, 401K or IRA, the IRS will ask if you can liquidate it to pay the taxes. Find out beforehand if you can liquidated any of these and what are the consequences of doing so. If you have liquid money in a 401(k) or Ira, once again you should call a professional tax firm to do your negotiation and representation.
7. Find out whether you qualify for an Offer in Compromise.
An OIC ( settlement) can suspend IRS collection action.
There are three types of offers in compromise and by contacting us we can simply review which offer may apply to you. Offers in Compromise should only be filed if you are a qualified candidate for the program.
You can find on our website a pre-qualifier tool for the offer in compromise.
I would not file for offer in compromise unless you walk through the IRS pre-qualifier tool.
8. Make sure you are current for withholding or estimated payments in the current year of the tax problem. IRS may refuse to work your case if you not have enough withholding being taken out in the current year. They may ask you to adjust your W-4 or send in a current estimated tax deposit.
9. The three most common ways to settle your IRS debt off the IRS computer will either be a tax hardship settlement, a payment agreement settlement, or the filing of an offer in compromise.
10. If you owe payroll taxes, Form 941, the IRS will not work with you until you are current on all taxes and all tax returns are up to date, including your personal income taxes.
