TAX RELIEF OPTIONS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

 If you are running a small business, you have one unwanted partner that will dig into your pocket every year, it’s the IRS. The IRS wants to know what you are doing, how much you are earning and most importantly how much you are paying in taxes, and the tax agency is becoming increasingly aggressive in this regard. 

While the audit rate for individual returns has been hovering at far less than 1%, the audit rate for small businesses can be as much as 10 times higher.

It does not matter if you operate as a sole proprietor and use Schedule C to claim your income or if you are set up as a C-corp, S-corp or LLC - the IRS is watching what you do, and if they think you are not paying your fair share they will certainly come calling. 

When that demand letter from the IRS arrives, knowing what to do next can make all the difference, and the more you educate yourself the easier it will be to deal with and eliminate, the tax debt.

 

Note: As a tax resolution firm, we always recommend that you reach out to a professional who knows how to aggressively negotiate and defend you against the IRS on your behalf. If you owe back taxes, are under examination or are under audit, our firm can help negotiate with the IRS and potentially settle your tax debt. Call Advance Tax Relief at (713)300-3965. 

 

Our tax resolution specialists can navigate the IRS maze so that you have nothing to worry about.

 

Small business owners are increasingly the target of enforcement efforts by the IRS, but the IRS does have some programs in place to make paying what those business owners owe easier. In some cases, those small business tax relief and tax resolution programs let you settle for less than what you owe, but qualifying is not as straightforward as you might think.

 

For businesses that may be eligible, the assistance of a tax resolution specialist is absolutely critical. These experts can help guide you through the process and make sure you qualify, so you can rest a little easier and get back to building your business.

 

Payment Plans/Installment Agreements

If the amount your small business owes to the IRS is relatively small and you do not want to deal with additional hassles, it may make sense to pay the entire bill in full. If paying in full would be a hardship, the IRS does offer payment plans and setting one up can make paying back what you owe easier and more financially palatable.

 

Keep in mind that interest will continue to accrue while the debt remains outstanding, and that is something to think about.

 

Offer In Compromise 

If you’re under a lot of financial hardship, it may make more sense to try for 

an offer in compromise (OIC), a special IRS program that could allow you to pay back much less than you owe.

 

The offer in compromise program is a popular one with individual taxpayers and small business owners. If paying the entire amount would create a financial hardship for you, your family or your business, a tax resolution specialist can help you make the case to the IRS that you deserve a break.

 

What’s the best option?

Each of these options has its pros and cons, and it is important to understand how these programs work and who qualifies to use them. If your small business is in trouble with the IRS, taking the right action right away could reduce the amount you owe, give you some breathing room and allow you to focus on your clients - not on your taxes.

 

Running a small business has its challenges, but those difficulties are nothing compared to the stress and anxiety small business owners feel when dealing with the IRS. With so many small business owners now in the IRS crosshairs, it has never been more important for freelancers, gig workers, and the self-employed to have an advocate in their corner.

 

If you find yourself on the wrong end of an audit, an examination, a tax bill, or an enforcement action from the IRS, the steps you take next are absolutely critical. Trying to take on the IRS on your own is a dangerous and potentially expensive thing to do, and you should always contact a tax resolution firm.

 

By working with an expert, you can gain access to vital information about small business settlement programs the IRS offers. You can gain access to the expertise you will need to settle your tax bill for less than you owe and get back in the good graces of the IRS. Time is of the essence when the IRS comes calling, and with the interest and penalty clock ticking, you do not have one second to waste. So call us, your tax resolution expert, for a case evaluation.

IRS COLLECTIONS HAVE BEGUN. WHAT TO DO IF YOU OWE BACK TAXES.

2020 threw a huge wrench into everything and the IRS collections proceedings are no exception. With the tax, deadline pushed until July 15th and a lot of the IRS closed under shelter-at-home orders due to COVID-19, to the IRS being tasked with sending millions of Americans their stimulus checks, the IRS collections proceedings took a backseat.

 

If you owe back taxes you might just assume you got some breathing room. However, things are starting to pick back up.

According to the Taxpayer Advocate, as of late June 2020, the IRS generated more than 20 million notices, yet these notices were not mailed to anyone. The IRS is once again starting to send threatening notices to taxpayers who owe back taxes.

In this article, we share a few things you must do in order to get out of tax trouble and settle your back-tax debt.

 

IMPORTANT: We highly recommend readers to reach out to our firm first. Our clients never have to talk to the IRS, and tax resolution through our firm can save you money and time in the long run. You might also be eligible for other relief programs or get your penalties forgiven. Reach out to our firm, Advance Tax Relief, today for a consultation by calling 713-300-3965. 

 

FILE BEFORE JULY 15th

Before we talk about any tax relief options, you must first get into compliance. That means being current on all your tax return filings, including your 2019 tax return.

 

If you missed the deadline, you must still file as soon as possible before you begin exploring tax relief options. If you have multiple years of unfiled tax returns, reach out to our firm for help today.

 

PENALTIES AND INTEREST

 

Any time you do not pay your taxes, the IRS first hits you with a club called penalties and interest. Under normal circumstances, these penalties start accruing from day 1 after the tax deadline. Because of COVID19, The IRS is providing additional time to respond before interest or penalties apply. 

If your tax bill already has penalties, our firm might be able to help remove some of the penalties by negotiating with the IRS on your behalf.

 

OFFER IN COMPROMISE

You might have heard advertisements about settling with the IRS, or the IRS Fresh Start program. Not everyone qualifies for it, but if your income or business was drastically affected by COVID19, there is a chance you can qualify now. This means the IRS will reduce your tax debt to a fraction of what you owe. 

 

It is important to hire a tax relief firm like ours to walk you through this process and properly represent you before the IRS. Talking to the IRS before talking to us would be like going to court without a lawyer. 

 

DON’T TALK TO THE IRS IF YOU OWE $10k OR MORE.

 



Even though things are tough right now, the IRS’s main job is still to collect the taxes it thinks you owe them. That by nature pits them against you. Often talking to the IRS can be a treacherous path and you risk the chance of saying something self-incriminating. Save yourself the headache, time, and money by reaching out to our tax relief firm today. You would not go to court without a lawyer and you definitely do not want to approach the IRS without expert representation.

SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAXES AND COMMON TRAPS TO AVOID SO YOU DON’T OWE BACK TAXES

Self-employment can be a rewarding career decision, but it can lead to higher taxes and tax returns that are more complex that what you initially bargained for. 

If you’re self employed, it is important to understand how taxes work so you can avoid making a mistake and owing more than your fair share of taxes. 

Note: If you owe back taxes and need tax relief, our firm can help! We specialize in resolving complicated self-employed and small business back tax problems.

Definition of Self-Employment

The IRS considers you to be self-employed if you work as a contractor, freelancer, small business owner or are otherwise in business for yourself. If you earn income directly from clients and you don’t have an employer that withholds money from your pay for tax purposes, you are self-employed.

 

Tax Withholding and Estimated Taxes

 

If you work as an employee, your employer automatically takes a certain amount of money out of your pay each month to cover your tax obligations, which is called tax withholding. 

 

Self-employed workers do not have an employer to withhold income for tax purposes, so they are responsible for paying their own taxes to the IRS through estimated tax payments. Estimated tax payments must be sent to the IRS on a quarterly basis if you expect to owe at least $1,000 in income tax at the end of the year. 

 

The due dates for estimated tax payments are April 15, June 15, September 15 and January 15. Failure to plan properly and pay enough estimated taxes during the year can result in a tax penalty and a large surprise tax bill. If you pay at least 90 percent of the tax you owe or 100 percent of the total tax you owed from the previous year, the IRS typically will not assess a tax penalty. 

 

Self-Employment Taxes

 

Self-employed workers must pay the self-employment tax (SE tax) which goes toward Social Security and Medicare in addition to normal income tax. Employees split the cost of paying into Social Security and Medicare with their employers, but self-employed workers must pay the full amount themselves. 

 

We always recommend hiring a professional to handle your taxes and stay compliant, but we especially recommend hiring a qualified tax relief firm if you find yourself behind on any taxes or you’re hit with a large tax bill you can’t afford to pay.

 

Do I Have To Report Side-Income If I Have A Normal Job As Well?

 

Individuals with self-employment income must file an income tax return if they have net income from self-employment of $400 or more. In addition, you must report any self-employment income you make during the year on your taxes even if you hold down a normal job. 

 

For example, if you work as an employee year round but you take on small contract jobs on the side to make extra cash, that money must be reported as self-employment income when you file your tax return even if you don’t make enough extra cash to warrant paying estimated taxes.

 

It’s a common misconception that you don’t have to file or report income if it’s “cash” or if it’s from a side hustle. Not reporting it could lead to more trouble than it’s worth and the IRS will add penalties and interest on top of the taxes owed.

 

OWE BACK TAXES?

 

If you’re going to owe money to the IRS after filing your return, it’s important to note that only experienced firms like ours are able to handle tax debt cases since negotiating with the IRS requires specialized skills that often fall outside of the scope of most conventional accounting, tax, and tax law firms. 

 

Our firm specializes in tax problem resolution. We can serve clients virtually so don’t hesitate to reach out. If you want an expert tax resolution specialist who knows how to navigate the IRS maze, reach out to our firm and we’ll schedule a no-obligation confidential consultation to explain your options to permanently resolve your tax problem.
