The IRS, or the Internal Revenue Agency, has instilled the fear of God in the minds of all tax payers in the country. This tax collection and enforcement agency of the Treasury Department of the USA is responsible for dealing with all tax-related issues, which can include non-payment, underpayment or overpayment. It is invested with the powers of implementing strict penalties and fines on all defaulters.

Yet sometimes errors may occur. These may be due to incorrect entries in the IRS records or misinterpretation of tax laws by the people. In such cases, it is the taxpayers who find themselves at the receiving end. Even if the error is on the part of the IRS, it might take some time and struggle before the matter is finally sorted out.

Consider a situation when you have overpaid your taxes. Getting a refund from the agency is not easy, and it might take some time and struggle before you get your refund. You can sigh with relief and say in true Shakespearean style that all is well that ends well. Yet if you have been unfortunate enough to have underpaid your taxes, there will be no such relief and you will have to face the wrath of the agency in terms of stringent penalties and fines.

If you are served a notice by the IRS, you can seek the services of a tax law firm that is well conversant with the tax laws. They can study your tax records, and then arrive at a solution.

There may be situations where, due to some financial constraints, you may not be in a position to pay your taxes. In such situations, the law firm can work out structured installments in agreement with the IRS and bail you out of a difficult situation.

Also, there are courts that deal exclusively with appeals related to IRS tax penalties, and you can take your issues there. If for some reason you cannot pay your taxes, you can present your case and seek an exemption.

  • Cost segregation - correctly depreciation real estate 10 - By: Patrick O'Connor
    Depreciation is an important non-cash tax deduction. By increasing tax deductions, commercial property owners affect federal income tax reduction. The increase in tax write-offs generates such a large tax cut that some wonder if it is a tax shelter or tax evasion scheme. It is not. Cost segregation is an IRS-guided process used to increase tax deductions during the tax preparation process. The IRS has provided a detailed explanation of the items that qualify for short-life depreciation and acceptable methodologies for performing a cost segregation study. Cost segregation studies performed by appraisers in compliance with the IRS's Audit Techniques Guide are unlikely to be challenged in an audit. Commercial real estate owners seeking tax advice and tax relief can benefit from reviewing the tax relief available from cost segregation.
