The IRS is seriously cracking down on overseas taxpayers, FBAR and EX-PATS.
The IRS found a whopping $4.4 Billion in the FBAR Program alone. US Citizens who live abroad who file and pay correctly have nothing at all to worry about.
One of the best save to minimize to minimize your tax debt is know and understand the Foreign Tax Credits and the laws that surrounding tax credits.
Because of our extensive background with the IRS we can really help minimize your IRS taxes or tax debt.
Trends and Facts
U.S. taxpayers claimed over $90 billion of foreign tax credits on US individual and corporate tax returns in 2005.
Foreign tax credits allow US taxpayers to avoid or reduce double taxation. You may choose to take a deduction for foreign taxes paid instead of choosing a credit. In most cases, it is to your advantage to take foreign income taxes as a tax credit.
How to Qualify for Foreign Taxes
You can claim a credit only for foreign taxes that are imposed on you by a foreign country or US possession. Generally, only income, war profits and excess profits taxes qualify for the credit.
What Foreign Taxes Qualify For The Foreign Tax Credit?
Generally, the following four tests must be met for any foreign tax to qualify for the credit:
1. The tax must be imposed on you
2. You must have paid or accrued the tax
3. The tax must be the legal and actual foreign tax liability
4. The tax must be an income tax (or a tax in lieu of an income tax)
How you can claim the Foreign Tax Credit
File Form 1116 Foreign Tax Credit to claim the foreign tax credit if you are an individual, estate or trust, and you paid or accrued certain foreign taxes to a foreign country or U.S. possession. Corporations file Form 1118 to claim a foreign tax credit.
Tax Compliance Issues with the Internal Revenue Service
The amount of foreign tax that qualifies is not necessarily the amount of tax withheld by the foreign country.
If you are entitled to a reduced rate of foreign tax based on an income tax treaty between the United States and a foreign country, only that reduced tax qualifies for the credit.
If a foreign tax re-determination occurs, a re-determination of your US tax liability is required in most situations.
You must file a Form 1040X or Form 1120X. Failure to notify the IRS of a foreign tax re-determination can result in a failure to notify penalty.
A foreign tax credit may not be claimed for taxes on excluded income.

IRS and the State of Florida Tax Representation
The IRS considers Florida a high target area for IRS activities. Along with California and New York, Florida ranks as the third highest area.
Why is Florida third on the IRS target area.
Due to the sheer volume of the population, the wealth, the transients that come in and out of the State and the amount of foreign dollars that move in and out of the State and lastly the numbers of non filers.
It is very important in hiring a tax firm that a person looks at the firms experience level, BBB rating and complaints registered by third parties. Also critical in this process is being able to speak directly to the person that will handling your case.
Lastly, hiring Former IRS Agents are invaluable. They know all the tips and techniques to get you the relief and savings your need.

Florida IRS and State Tax Problem Relief and securing a solid top-rate tax firm.
Call us for a no cost consult and speak directly to a Tax Attorney, CPA or Former IRS Agent. 1-866-700-1040.
Like all States, Florida is loaded with solid tax practitioners when it comes to IRS and State Tax Relief.
The private tax firms are usually excellent.
It is the tax mills where potential problems lie. Most of these tax mills come and go and change to other names as the Attorney General shuts them down. They simply have another person open a new business under a different name. Florida is notorious for this. Tax Mills abound everywhere.
What to look for in a Tax Firm.
Make sure you look in the firm page and check out the bio’s of the tax professionals.
You want to make sure the firm is staffed with Tax Attorneys or Tax Lawyers, CPA’s and Former IRS agents.
You want to check out their BBB rating and find out how long they have been in business.
Call the firm and ask to speak directly to the person who will handling your case. Ask for the credentials of the person in which you are speaking.
What you do not know is this.
When you call a 1-888 number, you are usually speaking to a salesperson who lands you as a lead, then receives a commission and then they passes you on. They may sell you to a tax professional who buy leads.
Do not be fooled.
In good tax firms you will speak directly to the Attorney, CPA or Former IRS agent who will work your case.
Also if anyone guarantees you a result, run for your life.

How the IRS Selects Tax Returns for Examination
The IRS selects returns using a variety of methods, including:
1.Potential participants in abusive tax avoidance transactions.
Some returns are selected based on information obtained by the IRS through efforts to identify promoters and participants of abusive tax avoidance transactions. Examples include information received from “John Doe” summonses issued to credit card companies and businesses and participant lists from promoters ordered by the courts to be turned over to the IRS.
2.Computer Scoring. The IRS computer system has kicked out your tax return.
Some returns are selected for examination on the basis of computer scoring. Computer programs give each return numeric “scores”. The Discriminant Function System (DIF) score rates the potential for change, based on past IRS experience with similar returns.
The Unreported Income DIF score rates the return for the potential of unreported income. IRS personnel screen the highest-scoring returns, selecting some for audit and identifying the items on these returns that are most likely to need review.
3. Large Corporations( over 5 millions dollars.)
The IRS examines many large corporate returns annually.
4.Information Matching.
IRS examines over 1.4 million taxpayers through this form of audit.
Some returns are examined because payer reports, such as Forms W-2 from employers or Form 1099 interest statements from banks, do not match the income reported on the tax return.
5. Related Examinations.( because they found errors on related tax returns to yours)
Returns may be selected for audit when they involve issues or transactions with other taxpayers, such as business partners or investors, whose returns were selected for examination.
6. Specialized Programs
Area offices may identify returns for examination in connection with local compliance projects. These projects require higher level management approval and deal with areas such as local compliance initiatives, return preparers or specific market segments.

Here the truth from Former IRS Agents about your tax situation. Let us help with the fear and worry. 954-492-0088.
IRS Tax Fraud is rampant in South Florida. Almost each week the IRS is bringing to justice those taxpayers who are committing tax fraud and tax identity theft.
This month was no different.
This time the Military and Armed Forces were targeted. These people have no shame. These are also very stupid people to think they will not be caught. What are they thinking. They have left paper trails right to there front doors. Stupid is as stupid does.
A Coral Springs woman was sentenced to five years and 10 months in federal prison on Thursday for her role in an identity theft tax fraud that targeted U.S. Marines, prosecutors said.
Dorothy Boulin, 29, admitted that she had obtained a list of Marines’ names and Social Security numbers for identity theft purposes and that she used the information to submit fraudulent tax returns.
Boulin sought close to $54,000 in fraudulent income tax refunds, mostly using Marines’ identities without authorization, prosecutors said.
