Tax Debt Problems Can Happen Anytime
There are many tax debt problems that individuals and businesses may encounter. These vary from late and unfiled taxes that were forgotten or lost, taxes that were filed incorrectly, business taxes that were never paid, or a joint return that was filed incorrectly. Once these problems occur, you may find yourself facing wage garnishment, liens or levies, and seemingly endless collection calls and notices. Regardless of the tax debt problems you are facing, you are not the only one. Taxes are confusing and can be expensive, especially if your business has taken a downturn or you have had other struggles in your personal life.
Tax Debt Problems We Handle
We can help resolve many different tax debt problems, from the most common accounting issues to complex legal battles. You always have options and we can help you find them.
Unfiled Tax Returns
Every independent adult making a certain income is required to file a tax return. However when these tax returns become complex, when debts are owed that cannot be paid, or when personal problems occur, they often do not get filed. Unfiled tax returns do not go away and the IRS will ask about them eventually. Don’t let unfiled tax returns hang over your head.
Wage Garnishment
If you owe outstanding state or federal debts, the IRS or state can force you to pay. One method used is wage garnishment, which automatically deducts from your paycheck. If you are experiencing wage garnishment or this action is on the horizon, get professional tax debt help right away.
FBAR Tax Problems
Managing bank accounts or financial interests in other countries can be tricky. If these are not managed properly, you can find yourself facing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees. Reporting on Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts is often overlooked, but carries serious penalties.
IRS Audit
Receiving an IRS audit notice is nerve-wracking. However, an audit can be dealt with successfully. The best way to deal with an IRS audit is to contact professionals right away.
Payroll Tax Problems
If you borrowed against payroll taxes in order to pay other business debts, you may find yourself in significant tax debt. This problem can snowball quickly, and resolving the issues as soon as possible will prevent bigger problems in the future.
Underpayment of Estimated Tax
Businesses of all sizes are required to pay quarterly estimated taxes to cover their tax liability. Failure to do this or filing incorrectly will create penalties and fees. Estimated taxes that are not paid on time and in full will become tax debts.
