Hi!
Few things, if you requested access to the case file and had authorization, being your parents’ issue not yours, then an attorney must provide access.
When it comes to submitting POAs to the IRS I would confirm whether the issue was on the attorney’s end or the IRS’.... View More
I didn't file federal and NY State for several years due to cancer treatment. I'm now cancer-free and wondering should I file 2024 and wait for a response, do I need to file all previous years before anything, or if I should do something else? Thank you!

If you possess a filing requirement then you will need to file your back taxes. This will depend on income earned and filing status (single, married filing joint, etc). If you are unsure of the income earned for your missing tax periods you can request a wage and income transcript from the irs.... View More

An Attorney can bill for their hold time if it is considered a part of their working time.
Within my firm, we often call the IRS and experience very long hold times even when using the particular practitioner line. We bill for the hold time unless we are disconnected during that hold and... View More

anyone who owes delinquent taxes is recommended to pay them off in a timely manner - you may want to reword your question to include more context.
answered on Dec 7, 2022
Hi, you may want to reword your question. If you are asking why your deceased parents put property in someone's name, no one can really answer that. Since they are deceased we are unable to tell what their intent was. They may have just wanted the individual to inherit the property when they passed.
I have been trying to contact them to resolve an issue to get my tax return back and can't get ahold of anyone from the irs when is it illegal to not get your tax return when it isn't on me to get them to pick up their phone?

Hi. You might want to reword your question. It does not quite make sense when you say the IRS is withholding a tax return. Are you saying you requested a tax return transcript and they haven't provided it? Are you asking how long it is taking them to process a tax return? Are you asking how... View More
The person who was in charge of doing our taxes last year quit and I can't seem to find out whether if they filed for 2021 or not. Is there a way to check if my business filed taxes for 2021?
answered on Dec 1, 2022
You can go onto your IRS portal and pull the account transcript for the business. This will tell you if a return is on file. If you are unable to do it that way, you can call the IRS directly. Just be prepared for long wait times.
The easiest way is contacting the firm you worked with or... View More
Some one filed power of attorney over all my assets and I didn't know anything about it and I don't even know who did it that's how they began my identity theft

Generally speaking you must give authorization, usually through signature, for someone to file a POA on your behalf. For example, the IRS POA forms require the taxpayer sign each form giving authorization.
When they are in charge 400 a week on the neighbors said telling me that they have brought me I'm so I'm trying to think should I make them serve me court papers and say cuz they're still trying to charge me
answered on Nov 14, 2022
Hi! I am trying to understand you question. Are you asking if they can up the pricing? If so the answer is yes. If you are asking if they are allowed to double charge you for one week when it was only supposed to be $400? My guess is it was incidental and can probably be address with customer... View More
We filed jointly, I’m afraid I’ll lose my house. I can’t see details of any agreements/payments made to IRS on IRS.gov… what are my options ?
answered on Nov 14, 2022
You should have the IRS mirror your account. This will still hold you jointly liable however your account will be view as individual rather than with your ex spouse. Then you can get into a payment plan based off what you can afford.

It is for a tax preparer.
Thank you,

Unfortunately penalties and interest will continue to incur until the tax debt is paid in full; it is typically just reduced by the % amount. It might be worth engaging a professional to draft a penalty abatement request on your behalf, as these things do usually require some negotiations with the... View More

This issue can get a little complex. To start off if the IRS is saying you owe taxes, you file a return, and a due a refund, they will keep the refund. If you are a victim of identity theft you need to call the IRS identity theft department directly at 800-908-4490 to resolve the issue. It might... View More
I didn't really understand unemployment when on it. Confused still. Now I could owe a ton of money
answered on Nov 7, 2022
Hi! You may need to reword your question. Do you owe unemployment taxes? Did you take out unemployment and now owe money back for over payment? There are a few ways to interpret what you are saying.
