Tax Tip: No matter how much or little you make, report everything. In some way or other, unless you run a strictly cash business (another red flag), all of your income is reported to the IRS.

Got a call from the IRS? The first notice you receive from the IRS will NEVER be from a phone call. U.S. residents are receiving scam calls from individuals claiming to be from the IRS or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The good news - Multi Million dollar scam busted!

If someone calls you claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service and demanding money, think twice. It's very likely a scammer.

I am starting to see these Notices. As many as 362,000 Americans with unpaid tax debts will not be able to apply for or renew passports until their debts are settled. The new law requires the Internal Revenue Service and the State Department to deny or revoke passports for people who have an overdue tax debt of $51,000 or more. If you have any back tax issues, contact us for a confidential consultation.

People with tax debt of more than $51,000 will be denied new passports until their debt is satisfied.

New blog post on IRS Wage Garnishments. Yes there are quick ways to stop a garnishment within a day or two.

No one wants to deal IRS wage levy; all of your pay is taken and you could be living without a paycheck.
