10 Costliest Mistakes Taxpayers

Make When Dealing with the IRS

Mistake #1…

Not hiring an attorney

when confronted with past due taxes…

Facing the IRS on your own is a daunting task…

It’s smart to hire experienced tax attorney, who can help you through strict guidelines and standardized procedures laid out by the IRS…

You will have a better chance of getting your tax settlement approved…

It’s well worth it for the quick hassle free resolution and peace of mind…

Mistake #2…

Hiring unqualified help…

Sure, you may feel more comfortable dealing with the family lawyer or your

local tax preparer…

Do they have the qualifications and experience to represent you?

Attorneys are one of the few professionals designated by the IRS to

represent you before its collection arm…

So when you do choose a representative, make sure they are

properly qualified…

Mistake #3…

Ignoring letters and collection notices from the IRS…

It’s never a good idea to put off responding to the IRS…

The longer you delay,

the slimmer your chances are of reversing the collection process…

US Tax Shield specializes in taxpayer appeals and other legal means of

keeping the IRS at bay…

We can stop the collections process immediately, providing a temporary

freeze until we can negotiate a permanent solution…

Mistake #4…

Allowing a tax levy to take affect without contesting it…

A tax levy is a garnishment of your wages

Bank accounts…

Mistake #5…

Not filing your tax returns…

If taxes are owed, then you have to file a tax return

Not filing is a crime…

It’s not a crime to file your taxes

and

not pay them…

So even if you can’t afford to pay, you still have to file...

US Tax Shield can file for you and keep your status with the IRS current and

legal…

We can even have your tax liability reduced…

Mistake #6…

Ignoring payroll taxes…

The IRS views operating a business while owing payroll taxes…

As borrowing money illegally from the US Treasury…

Don’t do it!

As an employer you have the responsibility…

Of acting as a tax collector for the government, holding your workers taxes in trust until paid over to the

IRS…

Do yourself and your employees a favor…

Do yourself and your employees a favor…

Avoid this most serious of crimes!

Mistake #7…

Paying your tax liability in full without demanding relief from

penalties and interest…

Most taxpayers waste or aren’t even aware of this opportunity…

And it costs them thousands of dollars…

Don’t let this happen…

US Tax Shield can intercede to have penalties and interest removed or

frozen…

And in some cases you can even have penalties refunded!

Mistake #8…

Filing bankruptcy…

Bankruptcy may seem like the easiest way out of debt…

There are far too many disadvantagesand disqualifying factors to make it a

truly viable tax relief option…

Bankruptcy won’t apply to anything owed from the past 3 years…

Bankruptcy won’t apply to anything owed from the past 3 years

If you emerge from bankruptcy still owing taxes, it will extend your collection time, possibly adding further penalties and interest…

If you emerge from bankruptcy still owing taxes, it will extend your collection time, possibly adding further penalties and interest

Filing bankruptcy will damage your credit rating for at least 10 years…

Consult with US Tax Shield before making this serious decision…

Mistake #9…

Allowing the IRS to file your tax return for you…

The primary goal of the IRS is to collect money for the United States

government…

They don’t necessarily have your bestinterests in mind…

That’s why you should not be tempted to let them prepare and file your past

due taxes in what is known as a Substitute For Return, or SFR…

Fortunately, US Tax Shield does haveyour best interests in mind…

We can refile your SFR and prepare tax returns for any and all years…

Mistake #10…

Allowing a federal tax lien to be recorded and remain on your

record…

Obviously, you should want to remove any federal tax liens as soon as

possible…

US Tax Shield can help you with that…

We’ll file an Offer in Compromise with the IRS, the most effective way to

resolve and reduce your tax liability...

When the Offer is accepted and paid in full…

The IRS is generally required to remove any tax liens within 30 days…
