Aphorisms of Nietzsche and Gilbert AZ IRS Tax Problems—Part 2

As you consider the truths in Nietzsche’s aphorisms, I ask you to consider using Scott Allen E.A. if you have a serious Gilbert AZ IRS tax problem.  Scott has the expertise to advise you correctly and more importantly the ability to carry out what he promises to do.

Aphorisms of Nietzsche

  • To forget one’s purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.
  • When one has much to put into them, a day has a hundred pockets.

We need to be careful with this one, but it needs to be said.  Most IRS resolution companies have the wrong purpose—they see IRS help work as a profit making machine rather than a service to clients who are vulnerable and desperate for relief—not from their money but from their IRS problem.  During 2012 the 3 largest IRS resolution companies—I won’t mention their names, have all gone out of business and left literally hundreds of thousands of individuals stranded who have paid in hard earned money and gotten less than zero—in other words their clients are worse off for going to them.  Scott Allen E.A. knows the purpose of his business which is a family business started in 1977 helping individuals like you resolve their IRS matter.

  • That which needs to be proved cannot be worth much.

Sometimes potential clients will ask Scott Allen E.A. to prove that he can do what he says he can do.  Unfortunately, with most professions, it is impossible to prove that you can do something.  There will always be some area that is in doubt.  However, the feeling you will have inside after meeting with Scott will be the best evidence of proof that he is one who keeps his promises and will deliver the service you expect—provided you comply with his requests for timely information.  Nietzsche said it best, “That which needs to be proved cannot be worth much.”

  • A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.

It is amazing to see the transformation of clients once they have a belief that there is a possibility that Scott Allen E.A. can help them solve their IRS problem.  And seeing that transformation in a client’s countenance is what empowers Scott to go to work each day and enjoy what he does as well as any one.

  • The man who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself.

We see on occasion a prospective client that really doesn’t want to resolve their IRS problem.  They want to fight it, they want it to be the way they want it to be. These clients are “Tax Protesters.”  They don’t believe in paying any income tax and feel that paying taxes in unconstitutional.  We can’t help these clients because they want something for themselves that is against the law.

  • What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.

This is probably Nietzsche’s most famous quote.  It is often quoted as, “That which does not kill me only makes me stronger.”  You have a responsibility to yourself and your family to not be destroyed by your tax problem.  It’s too easy to just roll over and give up.  That is unnecessary.  But you probably will need some professional assistance so that your IRS matter doesn’t destroy you.

  • Maturity consists in having rediscovered the seriousness one had as a child at play.

There is something beautiful watching a child play.  They are in the moment and truly believe they are race car drivers or moving mountains of sand and dirt while at play.  I love to be present when I see this happening to Scott Allen E.A.  As he is working towards resolving a client’s IRS problem, the option that comes to his mind is very apparent when you start hearing Scott whistle or snap his fingers.  And if he is doing both at the same time—watch out—a miracle is about to happen to benefit one of his clients.

  • One must have a good memory to be able to keep the promises one makes.

The reason Scott Allen E.A. doesn’t have to have that good of a memory is that he has a “recipe” to follow once he has determined the best option to settle an Arizona IRS problem.  And he follows that recipe with exactness knowing that if he does the client will always get the best settlement the law allows.  It’s been that way for 36 years at his family business and there is no reason to change recipes now.

  • Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.

If you will notice, you will find yourself laughing quite a bit while working with Scott Allen E.A..  He has learned that one of the best ways to lessen the suffering you are going through is with humor.  Never think that it is a sign that he is not taking your IRS problem seriously.  No it’s just he wants to have some fun in that journey and clients enjoy the confidence that follows a good laugh.

I hope you enjoyed reading a few aphorisms of Friedrich Nietzsche and that you feel you know a little better what makes Scott Allen E.A. tick.  Call Scott today for a free consultation regarding your tax problem.  He can be reached at 480-926-9300.

Aphorisms of Nietzsche and Chandler Arizona IRS Problems—Part 1

First let’s review a short biography of Friedrich Nietzsche then we will review some of his aphorisms and learn how his wisdom can help us resolve Chandler AZ IRS Problems.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Nietzsche is my favorite philosopher to read.   I do not always agree with everything he says, but I wouldn’t trade those disagreements for all the ways he has strengthened my beliefs and much more importantly, purified my motives.  If Nietzsche offends you, maybe it is because you are afraid to find out what you really believe deep down inside of your soul.

Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Rocken, a small town in the Prussian province of Saxony (Germany), on October 15, 1844.  He was born into a home that descended from a long line of Lutheran preachers.

In 1869, at the age of only twenty-four, Nietzsche was appointed professor of classical philology at the University of Basel, where he taught for the next ten years.  Nietzsche wrote in an aphoristic style that was perfectly suited to his iconoclastic beliefs and his piercing observations that lay bare the hidden motivations underlying many aspects of human behavior.  Freud remarked that Nietzsche’s insights often agree in the most amazing manner with psychoanalysis.  He further stated that he stopped reading Nietzsche so that he could discover something on his own.

A colleague wrote, “Nietzsche enjoyed the good will of all the colleagues who knew him, as he was thoroughly inoffensive by nature.  His amiable attitude toward doctoral candidates “was never unfriendly or irritated but held conferences in a kind, though superior, manner…”

Nietzsche went through periods late in life when he did not write.  “Now nothing more will be printed, for a number of years, –I absolutely have to withdraw and wait until I can shake the last fruit from my tree.”  But when inspiration came he would return to his only true love, writing.  “There have been…hours when an immense all-inclusive philosophy…spreads out before my eyes.”

In 1888 shortly before he lapsed into permanent insanity, he wrote, “Nearly every day for one or two hours, I have mustered the energy required to see my whole conception from top to bottom. I feel more than ever the great serenity and certainty of being on my way and even close to a great goal.  I am now the most grateful person in the world; it is my great harvest time.  Everything is easy for me, I succeed in everything, although scarcely anybody has ever dealt with such great things.”

One of his last admissions was, “I myself never got beyond attempts and ventures, never beyond prologues and promises.”

Nietzsche resigned from his professorship in 1879 owning to chronic ill health.  He suffered from paralyzing migraine headaches.  He lived on a university pension at resorts in Italy, France and Switzerland.

In January 1889 Nietzsche collapsed on a street in Turin, Italy, and from that moment on he rapidly descended into insanity.  He remained in a condition of mental and physical paralysis until his death in Weimar on August 25, 1900.

Nietzsche’s passion to communicate did not prevent him from living a life of intense loneliness.  His friends included people of status in the arts and sciences, but he could not maintain those relationships.  Nietzsche never married even though it was something he deeply desired.

Aphorisms of Nietzsche

As you read the following aphorisms of Friedrich Nietzsche I would ask you to consider each one as a guide to how you should chose who should represent you before the IRS should you need professional expertise.  May I be so bold to recommend that you serious consider a free consultation with Scott Allen E.A.  He has the skills and knowledge to resolve your IRS problem.  He can be reached at 480-926-9300.  When you call, you will talk personally with Scott Allen E.A. and he alone will resolve your tax matter from beginning to end.

  • I’m not upset that you lied to me; I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.

It’s not that tax clients “lie” be some are prone to leave out important facts that are critical to the resolution of an IRS tax debt.  In fact there have been some instances where the intentional omission of certain facts resulted in a settlement that was less favorable than what Scott would have negotiated had he knew the full truth up front.  Always be willing to trust Scott Allen E.A. the full truth about your situation.  He will never judge you—in fact it will empower him to work even harder to get the settlement you deserve.

  • Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.

It is the impulse of the IRS to punish at worse and intimidate at the least to get the most from you whether it be right or wrong, or due to their own lack of knowledge of tax law as it pertains to IRS matters.  Scott Allen E.A. knows IRS tax law and more important than that   the IRS knows that Scott know the law.  Scott is able to get the best IRS settlement ALLOWED BY LAW.

  • Talking too much about oneself may be a way of hiding oneself.

Probably the most impressive trait of Scott Allen E.A. is that he allows clients to talk while he listens.  You will never hear him making promises he can’t keep.  The most he will ever say is, “I can help you.  Do you want to get started today?’  The rest is up to you.  I promise you will know at that point you have come to the right person.

  • He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.

Tempe AZ IRS problems can be so very hard to bear, but if you have a belief it will eventually be favorably resolved, you will be up to the task.  One of the most difficult part of IRS settlement is not the IRS, it is clients who seem to be reluctant to follow through on relatively simple requests for information that would allow them to remove the “handcuffs of the IRS.”   I plead with you to take seriously this advice.  Follow what Scott Allen E.A. asks you to do and he will be able to keep his promises and many times exceed them on your behalf.

I implore you today to call Scott Allen E.A. for a free Mesa AZ tax consultation at 480-926-9300.  You will never regret following his advice and will enjoy the benefits of his expertise.

See Scott Allen E.A. before you pay someone to Abate IRS Interest in Gilbert AZ

Unless it is a mistake made by the IRS, it is almost impossible to get IRS interest abated (removed).  Even when the IRS will abate penalties, interest is considered a legitimate charge by the IRS because you owed money and interest should be paid.

Many IRS help web sites say that they can get rid of IRS interest.  Before you pay good money to get bad advice, call Scott Allen E.A. of Gilbert AZ for a free consultation at 480-926-9300.  If you have a legitimate reason to petition the IRS for interest abatement Scott Allen E.A. will get it done.

Scott Allen E.A. can help you when you have lost your records to support deductions on your tax returns.

If you are being audited in Chandler AZ and have lost records to support your deductions or took legitimate deductions but did not keep your tax receipts, the IRS will deny your deductions.  However, Scott Allen E.A. who is near Chandler AZ has expertise in negotiating with the IRS to allow reasonable amounts even if you do not have any records.  IRS agents and revenue officers in Chandler AZ may not budge but the Appeals Office has more latitude and is willing to compromise in this area.  A good example is a client that was an independent truck driver and failed to keep his gas receipts.  The auditor denied all of his gas expenses.  Scott Allen E.A. took this case to the Appeals Office and was able to show that it was impossible for our client to be compensated without putting gas in his truck and could approximate the amount of fuel used and the average cost per gallon during that tax year.  The Appeals Office approve 100% of the deductions claimed on the return—in fact the client underestimated his gas receipts and the Appeals Officer allowed more of a deduction that he took on his return resulting in a refund.

If you are in a similar situation, may I suggest you call Scott Allen E.A. for a free consultation at 480-926-9300?  Scott can tell you what strategy he would use to reduce the tax owed or possibly eliminate it all together.  Call Scott Allen E.A. and let him make today a great day for you!

Schopenhauer Quotes that help resolve Tempe AZ IRS Problems

First let’s review a brief biography and then consider the genius of his quotes.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Arthur Schopenhauer was born in 1788 in the city of Danzig, Germany on the Baltic Sea.    He was the son of Heinrich and Johanna Schopenhauer, who were both descendants of wealthy German middle class families.  In 1805 Schopenhauer’s father committed suicide when he was only 16 years old.  His mother, who was a famous author, kicked Arthur out of her home when Goethe told her that her son was destined for great things. She followed this up with a letter and wrote, “I hope I never have to see you again.” She could not tolerate any competition from her son for the attention she desired only for herself.  There is no doubt that these experiences contributed to Schopenhauer’s view of the world and his philosophy.

Schopenhauer knew at a very young age that he was a genius.  A fact that his parents often wished was not discovered by their son until after he was out of their home.  There are letters from his parents written to him when he was a child asking him why he was so disagreeable?  Why do you need to challenge what everyone says and not accept what others have to say?  He was convinced of his genius all his life.  Schopenhauer sincerely believed in his genius and his purpose in life was to bring his view of the truth to others not able to “see the target.”

Schopenhauer became a student at the University of Gottingen in 1809.  There he studied metaphysics and psychology.  In 1818 Schopenhauer published his masterpiece, The World as Will and Idea. In 1820, Schopenhauer became a lecturer at the University of Berlin.  It was there that he came into direct competition with  G. W. F. Hegel, whose philosophy he despised.  He scheduled his own lectures to coincide with Hegel’s in an attempt to destroy student support of Hegel’s philosophy.  However, only 5 students came to his first lecture and none came to his second and Schopenhauer dropped out of academia and never taught at a university again.  This was the only job that Schopenhauer ever had and it lasted only one day.

While living in Berlin, Schopenhauer was named as a defendant in a law suit by a woman named Caroline Marquet.  She asked for damages, alleging that Schopenhauer had pushed her.  Knowing that he was a man of some means and that he disliked noise, she deliberately annoyed him by raising her voice while standing right outside his door.  Marquet alleged that the philosopher had assaulted and battered her after she refused to leave his doorway.  Her companion testified that she saw Marquet prostrate outside of his apartment.  Because Marquet won the lawsuit, he made payments to her for the next twenty years.  When she died, he wrote on a copy of her death certificate, “Obit anus, abet onus.”  (Latin for, “The old woman dies, the burden is lifted).  Schopenhauer tended to rub people the wrong way and if they got in his way he was not hesitant to abuse them in his writings, verbally or as in this example physically.

Schopenhauer was considered a liberal in his social views: he was strongly against taboos on issues like suicide and homosexuality.  He condemned the treatment of African slaves and supported the abolitionist movement in the United States.  He was very concerned about the rights of animals and praised the establishment of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in London and the Animals’ Friends Society in Philadelphia.

In 1831, a cholera epidemic broke out in Berlin and both Hegel and Schopenhauer fled the city.  Hegel returned prematurely, caught the infection and died a few days later.  Schopenhauer moved south and settled permanently in Frankfurt in 1833.  He remained there for the next 27 years living all alone except the companionship of two poodles named Atma and Butz.  He enjoyed good health until 1860.  He died sitting in his armchair of heart failure on September 21 of that year at the age of 72.

It’s not appropriate to refer to the IRS as a “him”, but if you remember the feelings you got when you first saw a letter addressed to you from the IRS you can understand what Schopenhauer communicates with this quote.

  • It is a clear gain to sacrifice pleasure in order to avoid pain.

Some solutions to your IRS problem make take lots of time and effort on your part to complete—even with the assistance of an Tempe Arizona IRS resolution expert.  But as Schopenhauer advises, please be willing to “sacrifice pleasure in order to avoid pain.”

  • Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

Once you get past the initial steps towards resolving your IRS problem with Scott, you will be over the hill and will pick up speed towards your ultimate resolution of your tax matter with the IRS.

Scott knows where to pick his battles with the IRS in Arizona.  He has two choices with the auditor or with the Appeals Office.  Scott also will tell you if you can handle the audit yourself in your free consultation.  The important point is to not wait until the day before your appointment and frantically call Scott Allen E.A.  The IRS doesn’t mind appointments being rescheduled but it does have a problem with doing it at the last minute or even worse after your scheduled audit date.  This is a sign to the auditor that you are not taking the matter seriously and even worse that you are not prepared or claimed deductions that you cannot support.

May I suggest you seriously consider meeting with Scott Allen E.A. and get a free evaluation of your IRS audit.  Call Scott Allen E.A. (in Arizona) today at 480-926-9300.  Scott will make today a great day for you!
