≈ Comments Off on “Oklahoma Tax Help” – The Tax Expert You Want When It Goes From the Frying Pan Into the Fire.
Oklahoma Tax Help, Shawn J. Roberts Blog
Shawn J. Roberts and Dale B. Cazes are co-founders of Cazes Roberts, PLLC, in Oklahoma City. Resolving really sticky tax problems is one of their specialties. How do I know? I work there.
There are many reasons why people find themselves in a horrible tax dilemma. Maybe a husband or wife fails to pay the couple’s taxes, and keeps the spouse in the dark. A self-employed worker repeatedly fails to pay self-employment taxes, and finds that the IRS penalties and interest have made his tax debt astronomical.
What if dad dies suddenly, and his surviving children find out that dad had not paid personal or business taxes for years? There is a big, fat tax lien on the property and the father’s estate. Suddenly, the surviving family is left wondering whether the tax debt will eat up their inheritance.
Sometimes, running afoul with the IRS or the Oklahoma Tax Commission is not in your control. Regardless, if you are in this stressful situation, you can become desperate looking for someone who says he or she can help. Look hard before you leap. -CCE
Oklahoma Tax Help fights for individuals and companies to get relief from IRS or Oklahoma Tax Commission (“OTC”) tax problems. The IRS is the most powerful collection agency in the world and when it focuses its resources on an individual or company, the pressure is excruciating (so too with the OTC). For example, an individual’s state-issued professional license (e.g., doctor, nurse, attorney, engineer or anyone else who has a state-issued license) or a company’s sales tax permit, can be suspended for failure to pay taxes.

Oklahoma Tax Help was spawned by hearing from people who responded to the onslaught of television and radio advertising from tax resolution firms offering tax debt help, who found out those resolution firms charge astronomical rates and demand the entire cost up front. [P]eople found out those firms often take your case and take your money without getting enough information to determine whether they can realistically help you.

Frivolous Tax Arguments Completes the IRS “Dirty Dozen” List of Tax Scams for the 2016 Filing Season, IRS Website
In today’s economy, a problem with the IRS is the last thing you need. If the idea of the IRS swooping down on you doesn’t put fear in your heart, probably nothing will. Although most of us do not deliberately get behind on our taxes, life happens.
So, let’s say you do get behind on paying your taxes. The IRS penalties and interest make it worse, and soon it spirals out of control. This makes you all the more susceptible to fraudulent schemes and ready to grab at any chance for redemption.
When you this far over your head, you are at your most vulnerable. There is no “trick” or “scheme” that the IRS has not seen. Without the help of a known and proven true tax expert, you could easily go from the frying pan to the fire. -CCE
The Internal Revenue Service today finished its 2016 ‘Dirty Dozen’ tax scams list by warning taxpayers against using frivolous tax arguments to avoid paying their taxes.
Also today, the IRS released the 2016 version of ‘The Truth about Frivolous Tax Arguments.’ The document describes and responds to some of the common frivolous tax arguments made by those who oppose compliance with federal tax laws. Examples include contentions that taxpayers can refuse to pay taxes on religious or moral grounds by invoking the First Amendment. The cases cited in the document demonstrate how frivolous arguments are treated by the IRS and the courts. . . .

≈ Comments Off on E-Filing Your Tax Return? Read This Before You Hit “Send.”
Hackers Trying to Steal Your Tax Refund With Stolen SSNs, by Angela Moscaritolo, PC World
[T]he IRS on Tuesday announced that hackers recently attempted to use some 464,000 stolen Social Security numbers and an automated bot to generate E-file PINs, which can be used to electronically file a tax return. The incident occurred last month, and the hackers were able to successfully access an E-file PIN with 101,000 of the SSNs.

Last year, Turbo Tax temporarily halted e-filing for state returns across the U.S. after it found ‘an increase in suspicious filings and attempts by criminals to use stolen identity information to file fraudulent state tax returns and claim tax refunds.’

The Truth About the IRS Offer in Compromise Program, by Dale Cazes, The Law In Plain English by Dale B. Cazes Blog
If the IRS swoops down, my knee-jerk reaction would be to beg mercy and hope to resolve it quickly. However, the IRS’ approach is likely to be that it has the upper hand, and will act like it. Your best bet is to have a knowledgeable advocate in your corner. -CCE
If you are experiencing IRS tax troubles, be wary about the companies you see on television and radio claiming that they can settle your tax debts owed to the IRS for ‘pennies on the dollar.’ The settlement program these companies are speaking about is known as an Offer in Compromise (OIC), and despite what these companies say, the reality is that the IRS rejects more OICs than it accepts. . . .

≈ Comments Off on Tax Day Fun – Frivolous Tax Arguments And Their Penalties.
A Few Tax Arguments Not to Make, by Kevin Underhill, Lowering the Bar Blog
Hey, your taxes are due this week—or are they?
Yes, they are, that was a figure of speech and not a suggestion that you should treat federal taxes as optional. That is one of the many arguments you should not bother making on Wednesday.
Turns out that the IRS has a publication that lists and summarizes a number of arguments not to make, entitled ‘The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments.’ . . .

Oklahoma Supreme Court Does An About-Face on Tribal Sovereignty–Strikes Down Jurisdiction for Tort and Prize Claim and Dram-Shop Lawsuits, by Gerald L. Jackson, Crowe & Dunlevy
In a significant reversal of several recent decisions, the Oklahoma Supreme Court adopted the position that “courts of competent jurisdiction” in the model gaming compact does not include Oklahoma state courts and that tribes are immune from dram-shop liability in state court unless the tribe expressly waives its sovereignty immunity.
