We are Mesa Arizona’s Top IRS Problem Solvers for Successful IRS Solutions, Part 4

Sun-Tzu said, “Warfare always constitutes a loss.  If one is not fully cognizant of the evils of waging war, he cannot be fully cognizant either of how to turn it to best account.  Distaste for war is the most basic principle of the True King.  This being the case, you must go to war only when there is no alternative.”

Sun-Tzu is considered by many military strategists to be the greatest military leader in history.  Often clients will demand that we wage war with the IRS.   Waging war is not necessary and can make your Mesa AZ IRS debt problem worse.

Knowledge of IRS resolution law and being able to apply the law correctly are all that is needed.  That sounds simple but in fact very few IRS resolution professionals are aware of all aspects of tax law that apply to their clients and can follow through with its application.  Many times clients do not follow through with requested information in a timely manner.  Both of these realities can prevent a successful Mesa AZ IRS solution from happening.

IRS Audit Myth Number 4: By Tax Debt Advisors in Mesa AZ

I file on April 15th so I have less of a chance of being auditedmost audits are determined by computer scores of each return that is filed regardless of when it is filed.  Perhaps this may have been true back in the good old days when returns were filed manually.  Now in the computer age, computers do most of the work and after you have been selected by the computer to be audited, you will receive a letter and your return will be assigned randomly to a local IRS auditor.

Rather than file and hope your Mesa AZ tax return will not be audited, file a tax return in Mesa AZ that you know will stand the test of an IRS audit.  That doesn’t mean that you cannot be aggressive but you must stay on this side of what the law will allow.  Scott Allen E.A. of Tax Debt Advisors in Mesa AZ has the experience of filing tax returns that will not be red flagged because of errors or taking deductions that are overstated.  The penalties and interest of filing an erroneous return will more than offset the short lived refund you have already spent.  Tax Debt Advisors offers a free consultation in Mesa AZ and can be reached at 480-926-9300 to schedule an appointment.
