If you owe back Sales Tax there are different ways to settle your tax debt with the State or the IRS.
No matter what State you live in, the State programs are vary similar. As a matter of fact the IRS works almost identical to State Agencies to close outstanding tax debt.
If you owe taxes, the division or department in charge of administering the program will require a Agency financial statement. This form will vary from State to State.
Check with us and we can forward the form directly to you.
The administration or collection division will require you to complete and verify a financial statement and the tax agent working the case will making a recommendation based on the facts of the documented financial statement. The State of Florida has different ways to settle your tax debt.
There are 3 general categories a taxpayer will be place into:
1. A Financial Hardship.This will occur based on the current financial statement reflecting the inability to make any type of payment.
2. A Payment Plan or installment agreement based in having available monthly income,
3. A Tax Settlement. An offer to permanently settle. This will also remove the tax lien.
You should contact our firm to speak to us specifically about your own tax situation.
How to pay off your Tax Assessment after a Tax Audit
Paying Your Audit Assessment
It is best to pay the balance due (including additional daily interest on the unpaid tax
balance) that appears on the Notice of Proposed Assessment (NOPA) or latest Department of Revenue notice that you received. Interest will continue to accrue on the unpaid tax balance until it is paid.
You can pay all or a portion of the amount due at any time without risking your protest
rights.
If you protest the assessment, Department of Revenue policy requires that you pay the agreed upon portion of tax, interest, and penalty at the time you file your protest.
If you are unable to pay the liability in full within the time frame stated on your notice, please contact Fresh Start Tax LLC for options.
The Department of Revenue charges a fee on any debt that is more than 90 days old.
The fee is equal to 10 percent of the balance due or $10, whichever is greater. The fee is intended to recover the costs of collecting the debt. If you fail to timely pay the amount due after your appeal rights expire or the assessment becomes final, you will owe this fee.
Making Your Payment to the State.
To help ensure proper processing of your payment to the State:
• Make sure your check is made payable to the Florida Department of Revenue.
• Write the audit number and tax type on your check or money order.
• Include any additional daily interest charges.
• Attach your check or money order to the coupon provided with the most recent notice that you received. If you did not receive or cannot locate a coupon, attach your payment to a copy of the most recent notice that you received.

What is so surprising about this case, it was a very small case and to a person that was of no notoriety. Usually, the State loves to make big statements on large and famous place and people. This time, they came after the small man.
In Sunrise, Florida.
The former owner of a Sunrise restaurant is accused of pocketing more than $12,000 is sales tax receipts collected from customers..
Mr. Julio E. Ramirez, 63, of Tamarac, Florida was arrested Sept. 5 and charged with theft of State of Florida, Department of Revenue funds, failing to file tax returns and failing to pay taxes due at various times since 2010.
The report said that Mr. Ramirez kept the sales taxes he collected when he owned and operated Emilio’s Italian Restaurant at 11130 W. Oakland Park Blvd.

In the upcoming years we will see a sharp rise in sales tax audits for the state of Florida due to the shortfall in state revenue. The state of Florida is attempting to conduct sales tax audits in real time. What that means is that the state would like to audit sales tax returns during the current year and not to do three years behind. By the time the state is getting to the businesses or corporations or companies and owners are long gone.
You will also find that the state is attempting to reach out criminally to those who are not filing and paying their current taxes on time. You’ll find many more prosecutions in the newspaper in hopes to scare business and corporate owners and to making sure all their sales tax are paid in full.
