Timothy S. Hart Law Group PC

Description

Unfiled Tax Returns The Internal Revenue Service had filed income tax levy on our clients’ retirement checks because he did not file his income tax returns for the last 6 years. Our IRS tax lawyers were able to convince the IRS that our client could not afford to make even minimal payments toward his tax debt since he needed all of his income for his living expenses. The IRS released the tax levy , and also agreed to stop all further collection efforts once his tax returns that we prepared were filed by us. Client from Manhattan, New York.

Tax Audits and Investigations Represented a recent retiree before the Internal Revenue Service and arranged the elimination of about $65,000 in income tax resulting from an erroneous audit assessment made by them. Client from Manhattan, New York Our client filed a joint income tax return with her husband, a successful doctor earning over $450,000 per year. Although her husband promised her that he would pay the $110,000 in tax due, he never paid the tax even after being audited. After they were divorced, he continued to refuse to pay the taxes owed.

Offers in Compromise Our client owed over $600,000 in payroll and income taxes to the IRS. The IRS Appeals Division Officer approved an offer in compromise of approximately $165,000 even though the Appeals Division Officer had previously been unwilling to accept less than $325,000 from the clients’ prior tax attorney. Client from Albany, New York. An offer in compromise submitted by our clients’ accountant was not approved when the Internal Revenue Service determined that our client could afford to pay the total tax due of $131,000, since they thought he had available equity in his assets.

Read more about Unfiled Tax Returns Once the IRS contacts you regarding your unfiled tax returns (i.e. back tax returns), it is not time to panic. In most instances the problems incurred by taxpayers who fail to file their tax returns can be resolved successfully if the taxpayer hires experienced IRS tax attorneys, and addresses the problem in a timely manner. On the other hand, if the taxpayer fails to file their back tax returns and takes no voluntary steps to remedy the issue the penalties for noncompliance can be very severe.

Audit Reconsideration Our client owned a liquor store and after they sold the store and they were audited. The NYS Department of Taxation came in and performed a sales tax audit. The auditors looked at the square footage of the leased space the store occupied and determined that the store should have generated more taxable sales than were reported and thus, charged the owners based on their determination. Following the audit, they demanded our client pay approximately $500,000 in back sales taxes (including interest and penalties).
