While many people manage to file their IRS and state taxes on time, face no back-tax debt, and do not have to undergo tax audits, there are also those who face such consequences. Effective tax relief and resolution means having to settle with both the IRS and the state in which you file your income taxes. Unfortunately, many people do not fully understand the law and how it applies to them, meaning that effective tax relief programs and resolution may be difficult to achieve without the help of a professional tax representation firm, A+ BBB rated, that is near you and service your area.

What follows are three of the major types of IRS and state tax issues that many people face every year. By knowing what to do, you can minimize the penalties, so you can keep your income sound while paying off any tax debt.

Third quarter 2018 tax planning letter

October 16, 2018 | Mike Habib, EA

Dear Client:

The following is a summary of important tax developments that have occurred in July, August, and September that may affect you, your family, your investments, and your livelihood. Please call us for more information about any of these developments and what steps you should implement to take advantage of favorable developments and to minimize the impact of those that are unfavorable.

IRS shoots down states’ SALT limitation workaround. For 2018 through 2025, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) limits an individual taxpayer’s annual SALT (state and local tax) deductions to a maximum of $10,000, with no carryover for taxes paid in excess of that amount. (The SALT deduction limit doesn’t apply to property taxes paid by a trade or business or in connection with the production of income.) As a result of this change, many taxpayers will not get a full federal income tax deduction for their payments of state and local taxes. Following the TCJA’s passage, some high-tax states implemented workarounds to mitigate the effect of the SALT deduction limit for their residents. One method used was the establishment of charitable funds to which taxpayers can contribute and receive a tax credit in exchange. The IRS has issued proposed regulations, which would apply to contributions after Aug. 27, 2018, that effectively kill this workaround. The regulations would provide that a taxpayer who makes payments to or transfers property to an entity eligible to receive tax deductible contributions must reduce his or her charitable deduction by the amount of any state or local tax credit the taxpayer receives or expects to receive.

Help individual or a business stop, release bank levy from the IRS or state tax agency

IRS-FTB-EDD-CDTFA-BOE Bank Levy Tax Relief

What is a bank levy?

Are you a Los Angeles taxpayer, or a business that got notified of a bank levy? Want to stop and release the levy? Let’s start our discussion with what is meant by an IRS Levy, the term levy is the legal seizure of any property or asset that you hold or have an interest in so that a tax debt you owe to the IRS can be satisfied. This can be bank accounts in or outside of Los Angeles, other business assets and much more. When the IRS, FTB, EDD, CDTFA, BOE has determined that a bank levy is its best course of action in order to satisfy your tax debt, they have the authority to do so and do not need to seek a court order to proceed.

Legal Notification and help to release and stop your bank levy

While the IRS has the authority to use its levy power, it must, however, send you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Your Right to a Hearing letter. If you have received this letter you must reply if you hope to avoid the levy being enforced and the IRS seizing your bank accounts to secure payment of the tax debt that you owe.

Help a business with 941 employment payroll back taxes

October 5, 2018 | Mike Habib, EA

As the owner of a Los Angeles business that employs one or 10,000 employees you are required by law to collect, report and send the payroll and employment tax for each of them. The IRS has a specific 941 form that must be sent in every quarter and must follow a very specific schedule. The only deviation that is acceptable is if the day it is due falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, if this occurs, you must have it sent in on the following business day.

What is meant by Business 941 Payroll, or Employment Tax?

While most Angelenos in Southern California know exactly what income tax is that is withheld from each of their checks, but it is not as likely that these same people would have any idea what is meant by payroll tax. However, ask any Los Angeles business owner the same question they will absolutely be able to tell you that it refers to as 941/940 Employment Payroll Tax.

They are quite aware that 941/940 Employment Payroll Tax refers to the combination of employment tax, social security tax, and Medicare Tax. These taxes are collected from each employee and they must be reported and sent to the IRS quarterly and it must adhere to a strict, specific schedule. If you make it a habit of missing deadlines for submitting the 941 payroll tax form you can be sure that the IRS will not forget and you will likely find yourself on the wrong side of its wrath.

October 1, 2018 | Mike Habib, EA

WIN-WIN

I consider it a great win-win deal for the government and taxpayers, both will surely benefit from our new IRS commissioner, Charles Retting, a Los Angeles tax lawyer who represented taxpayers in various tax controversy matters. With his extensive knowledge he would definitely bring a fresh leadership to the IRS which should enhance their treasury functions and taxpayers should be in for better, improved service and integrity of the IRS.

Charles P. Rettig was officially sworn in as the 49th commissioner of the IRS by Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin on Monday, October 1st, 2018. Rettig is a California tax attorney and has chaired the IRS Advisory Council, which counsels the commissioner on tax administration issues. Rettig will be the first tax lawyer to serve as commissioner in 20 years.

Don’t make your tax problem WORSE

September 25, 2018 | Mike Habib, EA

Don’t make your tax problem WORSE by hiring the wrong firm. You hear the tax relief advertisements on TV, radio and internet of these unknown companies promising that they can eliminate your tax debt and settle for “pennies on the dollar”. These tax relief companies claim to be the biggest, largest, etc. You end up speaking to an unlicensed sales person, not a lawyer, EA or CPA that puts so much pressure on you to pay them and hire them; I call them sales organizations as they are not tax or law firms, but scammers that prey on innocent taxpayers like you.

Watch out! Don’t fall for scams and make your exiting tax problem even worse.
