If you were to ask most Angelenos in SoCal, or around the country, what would the worst thing you could receive in the mail, chances are at least 90% of the people you asked would say that getting an audit letter from the IRS, FTB, EDD, CDTFA, BOE or on much misinformation that is circulating around the internet.

The Internal Revenue Service or IRS and the State Tax agency, FTB, EDD, CDTFA, BOE for your state are responsible for collecting the tax revenue that is owed to the Federal Government and State Government, respectively, based on the applicable tax codes. Along with that goes all of the necessary power that it needs in order to execute its responsibilities.

When the IRS has identified those individuals or businesses in greater Los Angeles, or any other metro city in America, who they are needing to bring in for a formal one on one interview with, they will send out a formal letter stating that the person or business receiving the letter is being audited. It is this letter that seems to strike fear in the hearts and minds of most everyone.

The IRS takes its responsibility for collecting the Federal Taxes from all individuals and businesses in the United States. They follow strict guidelines prescribed for them to follow in the IRC or Internal Revenue Code. Part of that code covers how they are able to garnish/levy/recover funds to satisfy an unpaid tax debt. One of the many tools that they have at their disposal is called the wage garnishment. This is an extremely effective tool and the IRC has very strict guidelines for the use and implementation of it.

What is an IRS Wage Garnishment, how to stop it?

An IRS Wage Garnishment is a levy that is imposed on a taxpayer for the sole purpose of obtaining the funds for the repayment of a tax debt owed to the Federal Government. For Los Angeles employees, or any other metro city in America, an IRS garnishment is sent directly to the employer of the person who owes the tax debt and they must send to the IRS the amount requested without question. Federal law dictates how much the IRS or any creditor is allowed to demand to be withheld by an employer.

Angelenos should know that the biggest difference between an IRS Wage Garnishment order and a typical creditor wage garnishment order is that the IRS does not need a court order to demand the levy be enforced. This is not the case for a creditor, they must obtain a court order in order to be able to demand that a business enforce the wage garnishment request.

Every year, around the 1st of January through April 15th every working American is expected to file an income tax return with the IRS. This return is used by the IRS to determine what your overall tax bill should have been for the previous year. Using a number of forms provided by the IRS everyone has to report their income and expenses.

The agents of the IRS will then review your tax return and determine whether or not all of the information is correct and that you either sent a check to cover what you owe the IRS or whether you are entitled to a refund check. With that said, if it is determined that there are any issues with your tax return, this will trigger the IRS to take a deeper look at your return and more than likely request an audit.

The average person only has a 1 percent chance of being selected for an IRS audit. That’s one drawing you don’t want to win! If you have been chosen, though, it’s important not to panic. How you respond to an IRS audit request can have a big impact on the outcome of the process in your tax defense.

While an IRS audit is undoubtedly stressful and can be a painful, lengthy process in some cases, following these tips will help you get through it:

  1. Read the letter carefully

Not every notice from the IRS is an official audit, but it’s easy to panic when a letter arrives from them. Take your time to read the letter from start to finish. If they are simply requesting verification of something in your taxes, provide the information promptly. You may be able to avoid a formal IRS audit altogether if you respond appropriately in a timely manner as part of your tax defense.

Mike is a true professional. He really came thru for me and my business. Dealing with the IRS is very scary. I'm a small business person who works hard and Mike helped me see that they are not that scary after all. He was always there with the answers I needed and was very good about calling me back which I appreciated since your first reaction is to freak out and ask a million questions. He solved a messy case and worked very hard to resolve it. His rates are VERY reasonable for the amount of work he does! I give him my highest recommendation!Marcie R.
★★★★★
Mike was incredibly responsive to my IRS issues. Once I decided to go with him (after interviewing numerous other tax professionals), he got on the phone with the IRS immediately (as in the same day I signed with him) to squash an impending issue. And he worked directly with them to quickly come to a resolution I am very happy with. I'd highly recommend reaching out to Mike to see if he can help you with any IRS issues. I'm very satisfied!Marshall W.
★★★★★
I’ve seen and heard plenty of commercials on TV and radio for businesses offering tax help. I did my research on many of them only to discover numerous complaints and unresolved tax issues. I found Mike Habib through my own online search and contacted him. He was very professional with great communication, always answering my questions and concerns. Mike resolved my complicated tax problem just as he said he would. I would definitely recommend his services to family and friends.Nancy & Sal V.
