Tax compliance is serious. There are a multitude of penalties and interest the IRS can levy; the most common are failure to file tax returns, failure to pay tax on time, and accuracy-related penalties. Individual or entities who willfully attempt to evade taxes can face severe civil and criminal penalties, including a potential prison sentence.
IRS’ computer technology and enforcement programs get more vigilant every year. Without a professional on your side, the odds are stacked on the side of the IRS. If you haven’t filed a required tax return, we recommend you restore your peace of mind by getting in compliance with the law. Gary Kaplan can handle this for you.
- If you voluntarily file delinquent returns, you’ll pay the least amount of tax and avoid any future problems
- If you let the IRS file your return for you, they may include income that isn’t yours and/or leave out deductions you are entitled to.
If you filed your return and then receive an IRS audit notice, your first reaction may be fear – that’s exactly what the government wants! Many taxpayers will pay whatever the IRS letter says, or provide more information than legally required that can open more red flags with the IRS, or even ignore the notice!
The truth is this: The IRS isn’t always right. Gary M. Kaplan, as a Certified Public Accountant, is authorized to represent you before the IRS. Let us determine what you really need to do. Sometimes it merely involves explaining why your tax return is correct as filed. If you do owe money, we make sure what the correct amount is. Depending on your situation, we may be able to negotiate a settlement for less than what is owed, or negotiate a payment plan with the IRS that you can afford.
