Truths and Myths About Reputable Tax Return Preparers

After you become a tax preparer, the best way to attract clients is giving them instructions about how to find superior tax services. The next step is then to simply position yourself as ideally meeting the selection guidelines.
The IRS has issued six tips about choosing a professional for tax return preparer work. Using these same points helps you educate taxpayers. These are the IRS recommendations when examining a tax preparer list:
Be cautious of tax preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers.
Avoid preparers who base their fee on a percentage of the refund.
Use a reputable tax professional who signs the tax return and provides a copy.
Consider whether the individual or firm will be around to answer questions about the preparation of the tax return months, or even years, after the return has been filed.
Check the person's credentials. Only attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents can represent taxpayers before the IRS in all matters, including audits, collection and appeals. Other return preparers may only represent taxpayers for audits of returns they actually prepared.
Find out if the preparer is affiliated with a professional organization that provides its members with continuing education and resources and holds them to a code of ethics.
A notable feature of this list is what's missing. It does not contain a directive to examine every detail about a taxpayer's deduction claims. Any tax return preparer who charges by the hour can easily run up the bill for clients by asking for receipts, cancelled checks, or other forms of substantiation. Gathering these details is only necessary for an IRS examination. Unless a tax practitioner is hired to conduct an audit of a taxpayer's records, the professional services should not create extra charges for partial auditing. The public should know about the potential for such bill padding by unscrupulous hourly rate professionals.
However, a duty of tax preparer ethics is reminding individuals to retain records that support the numbers they provided to you. You probably only need to examine receipts if a taxpayer seems confused, uncertain, or contradictory. Your responsibility entails making a reasonable inquiry into the facts and circumstances. But, taxpayers normally don't need to present you with proof about their claims for deductions.
Keep in mind that the IRS permits taxpayers to make reasonable estimates of expenses when their records have been lost due to natural disaster. Conducting a tax return preparer job merely demands that you have reason to believe a person's statement about a deduction is true. If you know that a taxpayer is using estimates, attach a disclosure statement to the tax return. The taxpayer's signature on the return confirms that estimates are provided. You should terminate the relationship and not prepare the tax return only if you believe a client is lying about tax information.

Quiet Title: The Downside to Tax Deed Investment

At a time when the economy is in sore shape and the real estate market has seen better days, it is only natural that investors would look for new ways to profit from the real estate. One such way is buying up tax deed properties at substantially reduced rates, with the prospect of turning around and selling the home at market value. This can be an extraordinarily profitable endeavor, particularly for those people who are in the know when it comes to tax sales. Unfortunately, the road to riches is paved with more than just gold. In order to move forward, you'll need to go through a quiet title action, which can be costly and delay maximizing your investment.
One of the primary disadvantages of exploring tax deed investment is the myriad of time-wasting obstacles that stand in your way. In addition to waiting out any redemption period required by law, or market conditions, many investors face dealing with a slow and arduous court action in order to be able to resell the property for maximum profit.
As part of being able to take over a tax deed property and purchase title insurance, you'll have to go through a quiet title action. This involves initiating a court action that mandates all other claims to the title be silenced and gives you exclusive rights as the property owner. Unfortunately, this process can take anywhere from six months to a year or even longer. In the meantime, your money will be tied up in an investment that you can do absolutely nothing with. This frustration and lag time leads many to abandon their hopes of finding a profitable niche in the real estate industry, moving on to a different type of investment. This is unfortunate because there is certainly money to be made.
Of course, what no one will tell you is that there are viable alternatives to the quiet title process. Some companies advocate tax title services, which can help investors bypass the lengthy court process while still achieving the same effects. These services can ensure that no one else lays claim to your property and they will help you free up your investment in a matter of weeks, instead of months. For anyone who has grave concerns about having their money tied up for nearly a year while the creaky wheels of the court system struggle to turn, this is a much-needed alternative. If you're interested in exploring it, seek out a company that specializes in helping investors avoid the quiet title action process.

Taxes differ for residents and non-residents in Singapore. A resident tax payer is a resident who is a:
  • Singaporean; or

IRS Issues Reminder About New Tax Preparer Requirements for EITC

The IRS has implemented new federal income tax preparation requirements for claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit. To claim the EITC on 2011 tax returns, Form 8867 is submitted to the IRS. This form is the checklist that paid tax preparers previously retained in their records but did not send with a tax return.
Form 8867 is a due diligence measure for tax practitioners who help taxpayers claim the EITC. The new rule simply mandates including the form with completed tax returns. Providing answers to the questions on Form 8867 has always been one of the tax preparer requirements. Doing so necessitates asking taxpayers for responses.
In addition, further questions arise in many circumstances when completing Form 8867. These matters clarify potentially conflicting or incomplete information. Most tax return preparer software automatically provides relevant questions to explain any details that could seem incorrect.
The due diligence requirement is designed to reduce errors in claims for the EITC. Because tax professionals prepare the majority of returns with EITC claims, Form 8867 was created. The IRS reports that nearly two-thirds of the EITC claims last year were associated with returns prepared by tax professionals. Over 26 million people received about $59 billion of EITC claims.
Eligibility for the EITC is based upon several factors. These include earned income from working, total gross income, and filing status. In addition, the most important feature of the EITC is that taxpayers increase their eligibility for the credit when they have qualifying children. An important part of tax preparer duties is identifying qualifying children that actually meet the IRS rules. Hence, due diligence questions normally relate to identifying the location of a child's other parent and determining who cares for the child while a single parent is working.
Beneficiaries of the EITC are families and single parents with less than average income. Because the EITC is a refundable credit, the IRS remits it to eligible taxpayers even when they owe no tax. The maximum credit for 2011 tax returns is $5,751.
According to the IRS, as many as one in five eligible taxpayers fail to claim the EITC. These people are most likely in need of professional tax preparation help. However, because of the refundable nature of the EITC, many bogus claims are made each year. This is a consequence of inaccurate computations as well as incorrect declarations of qualifying children.
Tax preparers should still retain copies of Form 8867 for prior year returns. These are kept for potential IRS inspection. Effective in 2012, a Form 8867 is submitted with each return prepared by a tax practitioner that claims the EITC. A $500 penalty is assessed on any tax return preparer who fails to comply with due diligence requirements.

IRS Tax Preparer Requirements to Assure Accurate Returns

Even before passing the registered tax return preparer exam anyone preparing tax forms must comply with IRS Circular 230 provisions. This publication contains several standards of practice for tax professionals. Critical parts of Circular 230 for tax preparer study are the guidelines for due diligence with taxpayer information.
The process for tax return preparation entails making a reasonable effort to determine that taxpayer representations are correct. This doesn't mean that tax return preparers are required to conduct a detailed audit verification of every figure a client supplies. But, the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) does hold tax practitioners to a benchmark of quality.
A measure of OPR criteria is elucidated by a 2010 ruling to bar a CPA from the tax preparation business for failure to exercise due diligence under Circular 230. The case claimed that the CPA did not sufficiently determine that figures reported on tax returns were correct. The specific tax returns noted by OPR were those of a corporation and its married shareholders. In addition, the OPR alleged that the CPA failed to comply with the Circular 230 requirement to advise clients about potential penalties and provide opportunities to avoid penalties.
This situation is indicative of the control OPR is increasingly exercising over tax practitioners. OPR director Karen L. Hawkins pointed out the serious IRS tax preparer requirements to comply with accountability standards. Basically, OPR demands that tax practitioners make inquiries about information furnished by clients to assure that it appears correct, consistent, and complete. In addition, tax preparation professionals may not ignore the implications of known information. Any violation is considered malpractice.
Tax return preparers have obligations to represent their taxpayer clients rather than serve the interests of the IRS. However, honest taxpayers share the same objective as the IRS. Furthermore, the goals of a professional with a tax preparer license are aligned with any taxpayer who wants an accurate return and no IRS trouble.
The only difficulty for paid tax preparers is clients who want their tax returns manipulated to increase the refund. Tax practitioners should refuse service to these individuals.
Otherwise, licensed tax practitioners should not fear that OPR will conscript them to perform partial audits of taxpayer records. Although OPR has aimed slightly in this direction, Circular 230 only mandates reasonable acts to assure tax return accuracy. Consequently, tax return preparers may still rely upon mere statements from clients that appear accurate. However, a sound procedure for every tax practice is maintaining detailed notes about discussion with clients whereupon income and expenses are revealed.

Tax Preparer Job Separating Business Equipment Sales From Self-Employment Income

Many taxpayers assume that selling business equipment has the same income tax consequences as ordinary activities of an entrepreneur's company. However, an important aspect of any tax preparer job involving business equipment sales is identifying details about a sale.
The tax impact is different for a proprietor who trades in equipment instead of selling it with a separate transaction from a replacement purchase. Explaining the effect upon taxpayers is a common step in tax preparer work.
A trade-in permits a business owner to defer recognizing taxable gain. For example, a doctor may trade in an old fully-depreciated ultrasound machine. He acquires a new ultrasound machine with a cost of $150,000. No gain is calculated by his registered tax return preparer. But a sale first of the old machine for $100,000 creates a gain for the amount realized.
The gain or loss from selling business equipment is reported on Form 4797. Any cost basis that has not been depreciated is subtracted from sales proceeds in determining the gain or loss. A subsequent purchase of new equipment creates another starting basis. This allows a calculation of depreciation or Section 179 deduction using the RTRP training of the business owner's tax practitioner.
Our fictional doctor increases the basis for depreciation by avoiding the trade-in situation. The full $150,000 purchase price is eligible for depreciation. A trade-in arrangement giving the doctor an exchange value of $100,000 leaves only $50,000 of purchase price for the new equipment to depreciate.
The results addressed in tax preparation study indicate that depreciation and Section 179 are expenses that reduce self-employment income. Therefore, depreciating $150,000 provides a considerable benefit to the taxpayer compared to depreciation of only $50,000. Having more cost for depreciation simply requires not using a trade-in. Instead, the equipment is sold for a gain reported by tax return preparation on Form 4797. Using Section 179 and bonus depreciation will permit expensing of the entire $150,000 cost for new equipment in the first year.
The offset therefore of incurring a reportable gain on Form 4797 is having no trade-in. This increases depreciable basis for new equipment purchased. The reduction in business profit from the depreciation and Section 179 expense also lowers the associated self-employment tax. The gain on Form 4797 is not subject to self-employment tax.

Drowning In Tax Debt?

Owing the IRS money is serious business and can be very stressful for the taxpayer. Most people do not set out to owe the IRS money, but end up with unpaid taxes due to financial hardships and unexpected tax liabilities. The problem is that the IRS can be quite persistent with their collection efforts and may even implement steep penalties for unpaid taxes. Fortunately, there are ways to resolve tax debts with ease.
Get Connected
The first step in resolving tax debts is to contact the IRS. Many people take the dodge and ignore approach when it comes to talking to the IRS, but this strategy is never effective. In fact, the IRS may be more willing to negotiate with someone who contacts them at the first sign of trouble. If you have been dodging the IRS for a while now, don't worry. You can still take action to get your tax debts resolved by contacting an IRS representative as soon as possible.
Ask For Help
Often times, people assume the IRS is cold or doesn't care about people's circumstances. While the IRS may be serious they do know that bad things can happen to good people, leaving them in a financial mess. As a taxpayer in trouble, you need to be able to ask for help. Once you contact the IRS it is important that you give them an idea of your financial situation and why you need help resolving your tax debts. You don't have to get too personal, but you do need to paint an adequate picture of your situation.
The IRS offers two programs to taxpayers to help resolve unpaid taxes. The IRS installment plan is the most commonly offered plan to those in need. With the installment plan you can repay your tax debts over a several year period in payments that suit your budget. For those who cannot afford to repay their full tax debt liability, the IRS may grant an Offer in Compromise. This program is a type of debt settlement agreement in which the IRS agrees to accept less than the full debt owed. Generally, this program is reserved for those experiencing an extended financial hardship.
Know How To Negotiate
Remember that the IRS holds all of the power of negotiations. They are not required to offer you any type of payment plan or lead way. Instead, they offer these to taxpayers that put forth good faith efforts to resolve their tax liabilities. Your taxes are your responsibility and if you need assistance, knowing how to negotiate the right way is a must. The main point to remember is to stay calm and be polite, even if you don't feel your needs are being met. Instead of getting upset with the contact person, simply ask to speak to a supervisor or contact the IRS in writing.

Basic Guide To Making A Wise Selection From A Tax Return Preparer List

The IRS has publicized its guidelines to making a choice from a tax return preparer list. Prudent tax practitioners will remember and repeat these recommended procedures. This helps promote selection of the right tax professional for every individual case.
The optimal choice among tax preparation services is based upon personal circumstances. Some people are able to file online without requiring professional assistance. The IRS offers free electronic filing options accessible from its website. This is a reasonable avenue for individuals who can accurately identify their categories of income and deductions.
For people with unusual situations, a tax preparer professional is often beneficial. Sometimes a potentially troubling matter simply entails deciding about dependent exemptions. In addition, individuals that qualify for dependent exemptions may or may not impact the filing status choice.
More complex arrangements involve eligibility for various tax credits, especially those related to dependents. Children who qualify as dependents are not necessarily eligible for taxpayers to consider as qualifying children for certain tax credits.
Another complicated issue that tax preparer training helps resolve is tax credits for higher education costs. Each of the credits associated with education expenses has distinctive qualifications. Making accurate determinations is assured by tax professionals.
Taxpayers most interested in speed normally rely upon national tax franchises. However, everyone should also consider the importance of accuracy. Some tax situations are not conducive to quick service. For example, individuals with business interests, rental properties, or extensive investment activity require extra time for rendering accurate tax calculations. Experienced registered tax return preparers are best for people with these tax circumstances.
When a customized tax strategy or tax planning is desirable, taxpayers usually turn to a professional with enrolled agent certification or a Certified Public Accountant license. Although a CPA is not necessarily a specialist in tax matters, every EA completes an exam and education targeted specifically to tax subjects. In addition, some preparers are experts in particular tax subjects. For instance, some have considerable experience with very active investors or small business owners.
Regardless of a person's choice of tax preparer, some universal elements should apply to every choice. One of these points is that tax return preparers should guarantee the accuracy of their work. This means guarantee of the tax calculations regarding details presented by the taxpayer. Any IRS notice related to omissions by a taxpayer is not the responsibility of a tax preparer. However, every tax practitioner should remain diligent in asking clients about all sources of income.

Relief Available For Americans in Canada With IRS Tax Preparation Efforts

The long battle waged by the IRS against US citizens residing and working in Canada has reached a truce. Penalties for failing to file a US tax return are waived for most of these US citizens. They can obtain assistance from someone with tax preparer training to file past due returns with the IRS. In so doing, they avoid late payment penalties if they don't owe any US income tax.
The most common tax preparation result in these situations is that no US taxes are owed. This is the reason so many US citizens who work and live in Canada have not filed with the IRS. They incorrectly believed that the payment of taxes to the Canadian government was sufficient to meet their complete tax obligations.
Unfortunately, US citizens living and earning income in any location face the filing requirements outlined in tax preparer study. Responsibility for submitting tax returns to the IRS is based upon taxpayer income amount, filing status, and age. A requirement to file a tax return is not based upon whether any tax is due.
All US citizens - as well as taxpayers with status as resident aliens - are taxed on worldwide income. The majority of Americans living and working in Canada don't owe the IRS because they are entitled to exclude most of their earnings that were taxed by the Canadian government. The tax return preparer study material addressing excludable foreign income therefore comprises essential details for helping US citizens with jobs in Canada.
One of the disclosures required on any US tax return is whether the taxpayer has an account at a foreign financial institution. This includes accounts with pension funds or similar retirement plans. Because a few Americans have used foreign accounts to hide income from the IRS, this has been an area of aggressive IRS action. However, most US citizens living and working in Canada are not sheltering income. They simply were unaware about needing to file annual US tax returns.
The penalty for failure to file a US tax return and report a foreign account is quite substantial. A fine of $10,000 is possible for each year. The new IRS relief option allows filing of returns for past years without penalty as long as no tax is due. The fine for failing to disclose a foreign account is also waived when the taxpayer shows reasonable cause.
According to Canadian officials, typical Americans living and working in Canada should incur no punishment for simple ignorance of filing obligations. These people must merely come forward now and show that the don't owe any US income tax. Anyone who has participated in an earlier amnesty program can use the new process to apply for refund of past penalties paid.
Assistance from paid tax preparers in the US is a likely means to create tax returns for past years. These professionals usually have access to the correct prior year forms. No electronic filing is possible for tax returns of years that precede the currently due 2011 tax year.

Important Element in Tax Agent Jobs Is Telling Clients What To Pay IRS

Everyone in the tax preparation business is aware that only taxpayers are responsible for their tax assessments plus any penalty and interest for late payment. Taxpayer signatures on tax returns constitute approval that information on the forms and schedules is correct as well as complete. The only tax preparer requirements regarding reported details on a tax return involve taking reasonable steps to ascertain the facts and circumstances.
Nevertheless, measures are recommended for documenting all communication with taxpayers. In fact, regulations are imposed on a licensed tax practitioner relating to correspondence. These rules demand that tax professionals inform their clients that opinions may comprise unsupported interpretation of the tax code.
Another aspect of tax agent jobs concerning client communications is not related to IRS provisions. This extra effort by providers of tax services should give clear directions to people about basic taxpayer actions. Preferably, instructions are given in writing. For example, a simple series of steps given with completed tax returns is a sound procedure. This instructs individuals to review and sign their returns plus pay any tax due.
These directives may appear obvious to a certified tax professional but a record of written instructions to clients would certainly aid Dexter Lehtinen, a tax attorney who previously represented the Miccosukee Indian tribe. Members of the tribe now allege that Lehtinen provided inaccurate tax advice. The dispute concerns the action of paying income tax when due.
The Miccosukees are in trouble with the IRS over income tax on the profits of a legal gambling operation. Approximately 250 tribe members have received IRS notices of tax assessments in the millions of dollars. Although payment of the tax is clearly the responsibility of the tribe members rather than Lehtinen, the Miccosukees are suing Lehtinen. They allege that Lehtinen had informed the tribe that none of its members were liable for income tax.
Lehtinen tells the story in reverse. He says that, despite imploring them to pay their taxes, the tribe leaders always informed him that they didn't owe taxes to the federal government because the Miccosukees are a sovereign nation.
To prove his contention is accurate, Lehtinen would only need to present a copy of prior written instructions to tribe members. For now, the confusion appears to have resulted from mistaken understanding of terms by the tribe members. The Miccosukee tribe as a whole owes no tax because of its status as a sovereign nation. However, the tribe's individual members do incur tax liability on their earnings and distributions from the gambling activities of the tribe.
Tribes are required to submit statements of gambling revenue and plans for distribution of gambling profits to tribe members. The Miccosukees contested this regulation in court and lost. The tribe is somewhat like an S corporation. It pays no direct income tax but must report income. In addition, profit distributions to tribal members are subject to tax withholding requirements - which the Miccosukees also ignored. Lehtinen might have less trouble with the tribe if he had explained this clearly in writing and retained a copy.
