2. Your 2012 earned income and adjusted gross income are both under $36,920 ($42,130 if married filing jointly) if you have one qualifying child; under $41,952 ($47,162 if married filing jointly) if you have two qualifying children; under $45,060 ($50,270 if married filing jointly) if you have three or more qualifying children; or under $13,980 ($19,190 if married filing jointly) if you do not have a qualifying child. For a definition of earned income, see the 2012 instructions for Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.
3. Your filing status on your 2012 tax return is any status except married filing a separate return.

b. You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2012 tax return.

4. The child does not file a joint income tax return for 2012.
There are additional rules if a child is married or is the qualifying child of more than one person.

If eligible, you can claim the EIC to get a refund even if you have no tax withheld from your pay or owe no tax.
An example: if you had no tax withheld in 2012 and owe no tax but are eligible for a credit of $800, you must file a 2012 income tax return to get the $800 refund.

When UBS gave in to US pressure it was just a matter of time that other countries would be next.
When Lichtenstein went down there was a clear sent that the IRS and the DOJ was going country by country. Each country is giving way to US demands and is turning over account information of all US citizens.

The Internal Revenue Service announced a plan to help U.S. citizens residing overseas, including dual citizens, catch up with tax filing obligations and provide assistance for people with foreign retirement plan issues.
The IRS will provide a new option to help some U.S. citizens and others residing abroad who have not been filing tax returns and provide them a chance to catch up with their tax filing obligations if they owe little or no back taxes.
The new procedure will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2012.
The IRS is aware that some U.S. taxpayers living abroad have failed to timely file U.S. federal income tax returns or Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts .
Some of these taxpayers have recently become aware of their filing requirements and want to comply with the law.
To help these taxpayers, the IRS offered the new procedures that will allow taxpayers who are low compliance risks to get current with their tax requirements without facing penalties or additional enforcement action.
These people generally will have simple tax returns and owe $1,500 or less in tax for any of the covered years.
The IRS also announced that the new procedures will allow resolution of certain issues related to certain foreign retirement plans (such as Canadian Registered Retirement Savings Plans).
In some circumstances, tax treaties allow for income deferral under U.S. tax law, but only if an election is made on a timely basis.
The new streamlined procedures will be made available to resolve low compliance risk situations even though this election was not made on a timely basis.
Taxpayers using the new procedures will be required to file delinquent tax returns along with appropriate related information returns for the past three years, and to file delinquent FBARs for the past six years.
Submissions from taxpayers that present higher compliance risk will be subject to a more thorough review and potentially subject to an audit, which could cover more than three tax years.
The IRS also announced its offshore voluntary disclosure programs have exceeded the $5 billion mark, released new details regarding the voluntary disclosure program announced in January and closed a loophole used by some U.S. citizens.
by Fresh Start Tax | Sep 21, 2012 | Back Taxes, Income Tax Preparation
If you have not filed your income tax return the IRS has the right to file your back tax returns under 6020 B of the IRS code.
This process is called the filing of a Substitute Tax Return. IRS files thousands of back tax returns each year under 6020B.
IRS filed your back tax return under IRC 6020(b)
IRC 6020(b) provides a way to prepare returns and secure assessments from non-filing taxpayers who:
- Have an open filing requirement,
- Do not file a return as required.
Internal Revenue Code 6020(b) is the authority given to the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to prepare and process returns for non-filing business taxpayers.
Who has the authority to File Back Taxes for the Taxpayer
Delegation Order No. 182:
(Rev. 7), extends 6020(b) authority to Internal Revenue Agents;
a. Tax Auditors; Revenue Officers, GS-9 and above;
b. Collection Support Function Managers, GS-9 and above;
c. Automated Collection Branch Unit Managers,
d. GS-11 and above; Customer Service Collection Branch Managers,
e. GS-10 and above; and Tax Resolution Representatives, GS-9 and above.
IRS prepares thousands and thousands of tax returns for taxpayers that do not file back income tax returns.
The process of 6020B:
IRS has probably made an attempt to contact you and those attempts have failed.
Many times you may have moved and never received the mail. Whether you received a letter or not, if you fail to respond to the IRS, they will prepare your back federal income tax return for you under 6020B of the IRC.
You will need a very experienced professional tax help to resolve this tax problem. The Tax Firm working your case will need to file an original tax return and get the IRS to accept the tax return.
These cases at the time of this writing are being handled out of Ogden Utah Campus.
If you do not reply to them, they will plan to take enforced collect action to get the back taxes paid. They will file Federal Tax Liens and Federal Tax Levies.
HOW DOES IRS PREPARE YOUR BACK TAX RETURN
IRS has a collective data base of all income you have received from all companies, business over the past 7 years on the IRS data base system.
Anyone who has provided income information to them from a W-2 source or a 1099 source is kept on the IRS computers.
IRS keeps and records all this information on there master files or there CADE 2 computer system.
Every year social security numbers are matched against those W-2’s and 1099. If there is no tax return found, IRS sends out a series of letters asking for your tax return.
If a federal tax return is not filed, IRS will prepare a substitute for return, (SFR) based on the information they have in the IRS system. This is the 6020 B process.
When the IRS files,they will give all taxpayers the standard deduction, regardless of your itemized deductions. Then IRS adds in all the penalties and interest. The tax bill will be overwhelming and this will cause a huge tax problem. This amount is sometimes 80% north of what is usually owed.
HOW TO CORRECT THIS BACK INCOME TAX RETURN PROBLEM
Some times the income is correct, however the IRS will only give you the standard deduction. You should go to a tax preparer or Fresh Start Tax LLC to find out if IRS figured out the correct tax liability.
If the amount is incorrect and most of the time it is, have the tax preparer correct the error and send the tax returns to the IRS Ogden Campus.
It is in your best interest to contact IRS before they take the next steps of tax levies, tax garnishments or bank levies.
Our staff at Fresh Start Tax has been dealing with these Internal Revenue Code Section 6020b tax problems for over 60 years.
We deal in all tax problems and stop all future problems that go with this situation from happening. Call us today for a free consultation. 1-866-700-1040.
IRS filed your back income tax returns ? Have Former IRS Agent STOP the IRS today – Fresh Start Tax LLC
by Fresh Start Tax | Sep 21, 2012 | Back Taxes, Income Tax Preparation, Tax Returns
Former IRS Agents, Free Consults, We Know the System
We have many taxpayers walk into our offices that have not filed back tax returns for years and years. The question is always this,
“How many years should be filed if a taxpayer has not filed in years?”
That answer will vary from practitioner to practitioner and most tax preparers are afraid to answer the question but out of the IRS IRM comes the answer and how the IRS wants the Agents to deal with the tax problem of not filed tax returns.
Below is the Internal Revenue Manual on the subject.
This section discusses the procedures involved in handling non-filed returns per IRM
Substitute for return (SFR) and delinquent tax return procedures were developed to deal with taxpayers who do not file required back tax returns for the IRS.
The purpose of the procedures is to assess the correct tax liability by either:
a. Securing a valid voluntary tax return from the taxpayer (delinquent return), or
b. If securing a return is not possible, computing tax, interest, and penalties based upon information submitted by payers, or based on other available information (SFR).
Source of Cases for the agent
IRS, Tax Examiners and Revenue Officers encounter non-filers in several ways.
For example,
1. From related cases/spin-off examinations
2. As project cases
3. As referrals from other functions
Enforcement Period
Policy Statement 5-133 (P-5-133), IRM 1.2.14.1.18,
Delinquent returns—enforcement of filing requirements, discusses delinquent returns and the enforcement filing requirements.
The enforcement period is not to be more than six years.
However, the extent to which delinquency procedures will be enforced will depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case, and by reference to factors ensuring evenhanded administration of staffing and other Service resources. Enforcement for longer or shorter periods may be used when consideration has been given to:
1. The taxpayer’s prior history of noncompliance.
2. The existence of income from illegal sources.
3. The effect upon voluntary compliance.
The anticipated revenue in relation to the time and effort, required to determine tax due. Any special circumstances existing in the case of a particular taxpayer, class of taxpayer, or industry, or which may be peculiar to the class of tax involved.
IRS does have the ability on special cases to extend the period to file more back or unfiled tax returns. If a taxpayer is loaded with assets and have not filed multiple tax returns the IRS can and will go back more, but special circumstance must exist.
However, as a very general rule, 6 years of back filing is very safe.In cases were taxpayers are W-2 taxpayers and then losing tax refunds IRS generally accepts three years.
However please be advised you can lose valuable Social Security credits.
