Audits & Proposed Taxes
Death & Tax Obligations
Generally, after an individual has passed away, someone will become responsible for ensuring that the final income tax return and any other unfiled tax returns are filed with the IRS and the Department of Revenue and that all matters related to taxes are addressed. This person may be an executor, an administrator, or one of the decedent’s family members.
Divorce & Taxes
Taxes should be given a great deal of consideration during a divorce proceeding. There have been several changes to the federal tax law that will substantially affect both parties to a divorce. If there are un-filed tax returns and/or balances owed to the IRS or the Department of Revenue, these matters should also be addressed in the divorce proceeding especially if one or both of the parties are self-employed or are not working. The parties to a divorce can come to an agreement regarding how un-filed tax returns and unpaid taxes will be handled.
Identity Theft & Taxes
Learning that you have been the victim of identity theft is frightening. Someone can use your personal information to take out credit in your name, assign their income to you and/or prepare and file a tax return in your name in the hopes of collecting a fraudulent refund check from the government.
Levies & Garnishments
Levies and garnishments are the taking of something that you own without your consent to satisfy a debt. When the IRS or the Department of Revenue believe that you have unpaid taxes, penalties and/or interest, and that you are not being cooperative, these agencies may have the legal authority to take some of the things that you own whether in your possession or in the possession of another without your consent. The IRS and the Department of Revenue are generally required to issue a series of notices to a taxpayer before they can take a taxpayer’s property and/or rights to property.
Liens
A tax lien is the government’s legal claim against your property. Both the IRS and the Department of Revenue can file liens in respect of unpaid balances due in order to protect the government’s interests. A great number of people confuse a lien with a levy. A Notice of Tax Lien, whether filed by the IRS or the Department of Revenue, may have negative effects.
