 If you itemize your deductions for a taxable year on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF), Itemized Deductions, you may be able to deduct expenses you paid that year for medical and dental care for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents. You may deduct only the amount of your total medical expenses that exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income or 7.5% if you or your spouse is 65 or older.

The 7.5% limitation is effective only from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016 for individuals age 65 and older and their spouses. You figure the amount you're allowed to deduct on Form 1040, Schedule A.
Medical care expenses include payments for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or payments for treatments affecting any structure or function of the body.

Deductible medical expenses may include but aren't limited to the following:
Payments of fees to doctors, dentists, surgeons, chiropractors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nontraditional medical practitioners

Payments for in-patient hospital care or residential nursing home care, if the availability of medical care is the principal reason for being in the nursing home, including the cost of meals and lodging charged by the hospital or nursing home. If the availability of medical care isn't the principal reason for residence in the nursing home, the deduction is limited to that part of the cost that's for medical care.

Payments for acupuncture treatments or inpatient treatment at a center for alcohol or drug addiction, for participation in a smoking-cessation program and for drugs to alleviate nicotine withdrawal that require a prescription

Payments to participate in a weight-loss program for a specific disease or diseases diagnosed by a physician, including obesity, but not ordinarily payments for diet food items or the payment of health club dues

Payments for insulin and payments for drugs that require a prescription

Payments made for admission and transportation to a medical conference relating to a chronic disease that you, your spouse, or your dependents have (if the costs are primarily for and essential to necessary medical care). However, you may not deduct the costs for meals and lodging while attending the medical conference

Payments for false teeth, reading or prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, hearing aids, crutches, wheelchairs, and for a guide dog or other service animal to assist a visually impaired or hearing disabled person, or a person with other physical disabilities

Payments for transportation primarily for and essential to medical care that qualify as medical expenses, such as payments of the actual fare for a taxi, bus, train, ambulance, or for transportation by personal car, the amount of your actual out-of-pocket expenses such as for gas and oil, or the amount of the standard mileage rate for medical expenses, plus the cost of tolls and parking

Payments for insurance premiums you paid for policies that cover medical care or for a qualified long-term care insurance policy covering qualified long-term care services. However, if you're an employee, don't include in medical expenses the portion of your premiums treated as paid by your employer under its sponsored group accident, health policy, or qualified long-term care insurance policy. Also, don't include the premiums that you paid under your employer-sponsored policy under a premium conversion policy (pre-tax), paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) or any other medical and dental expenses unless the premiums are included in box 1 of your Form W-2 (PDF), Wage and Tax Statement. For example, if you're a federal employee participating in the premium conversion program of the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program, you may not include the premiums paid for the policy as a medical expense If you're self-employed and have a net profit for the year, you may be eligible for the self-employed health insurance deduction.

This is an adjustment to income, rather than an itemized deduction, for premiums you paid on a health insurance policy covering medical care, including a qualified long-term care insurance policy covering medical care, for yourself, your spouse, and dependents. In addition, you may be eligible for this deduction for your child who is under the age of 27 at the end of 2016 even if the child wasn't your dependent.

See Chapter 6 of 
Publication 535 for eligibility information. If you don't claim 100% of your paid premiums, you can include the remainder with your other medical expenses as an itemized deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF). You may not deduct funeral or burial expenses, over-the-counter medicines (i.e., medicines or drugs that aren't required to be prescribed), toothpaste, toiletries, cosmetics, a trip or program for the general improvement of your health, or most cosmetic surgery.

You may not deduct amounts paid for nicotine gum and nicotine patches that don't require a prescription.
You can only include the medical expenses you paid during the year and you can only use the expenses once on the return. You must reduce your total deductible medical expenses for the year by any reimbursement of deductible medical expenses and expenses used when figuring other credits or deductions. This is true whether you receive the reimbursement directly or it's paid on your behalf to the doctor, hospital, or other medical provider.

IRS Can Take Your Passport - Advance Tax Relief

4/13/2017

0 Comments

 
​Since late 2015, the IRS has had the power to use passports to collect tax debts. H.R.22 added new section 7345 to an already bloated tax code. The new provision is titled “Revocation or Denial of Passport in Case of Certain Tax Delinquencies.”

That generally means if you owe more than $50,000 the IRS can't take your passport exactly, but it can tell the State Department to do so.
Section 7345 of the tax code isn't limited to criminal tax cases, or even cases where the IRS thinks you are trying to flee.

Recently, the IRS released new details on its website. If you have seriously delinquent tax debt, IRS can notify the State Department in a formal certification. The State Department generally will not issue or renew a passport after receiving a certification from the IRS.

The IRS website will be updated from time to time about such notices. With the arrival of new IRS rules, it is worth considering how you might hold onto your passport even if you owe the IRS.

A seriously delinquent tax debt is a key term. If you don’t have one, your passport is safe. So if you must owe, keep your debt below $50,000. But that includes penalties and interest, so beware. A $25,000 tax debt could eventually grow to $50,000. And be careful, once your tax debt is labeled 'seriously delinquent,' you paying it down to $49,999 may not help. The IRS will not reverse a certification because the taxpayer pays the debt below $50,000.
​

What if the tax debt was your spouse’s, and you are saddled with it because of joint tax returns? You might qualify for innocent spouse treatment. This is a separate big topic, and rules are complex. However, it's significant that the IRS can suspend collection efforts if you request innocent spouse relief (under IRC Section 6015). In fact, there are many taxpayer protections when it comes to IRS collections. One set of protections is collection due process hearings. If you make a timely request for a collection due process hearing in connection with a levy to collect the debt, you may at least buy time to work out a deal with the IRS.


Your problems have solutions – some are quick, some take longer than others and require more patience.  It may be a weight to carry, but you are not dishonest for making mistakes to the IRS and with your taxes.  You are only human.


"According to IRS I owed IRS over $82k, Advance Tax Relief was very helpful and gave me the sense of relief that I will get pass this and I did. We Settled for $2500" - J Morris

Tax Tips on Unemployment Benefits

3/26/2017

1 Comment

 
Picture

Taxpayers who received unemployment benefits need to remember that it may be taxable. Here are five key facts about unemployment:

Unemployment is Taxable. Include all unemployment compensation as income for the year. Taxpayers should receive a Form 1099-G, Certain Government Payments, by Jan. 31. This form shows the amount received and the amount of any federal income tax withheld.

​There are Different Types.
 Unemployment compensation includes amounts paid under federal law or state law as well as railroad, trade readjustment and airline deregulation laws. Even some forms of disability payments can count. For more information, see IRS Publication 525.

Union Benefits May be Taxable.
 Benefits received from regular union dues as income might be taxable. Other rules may apply if a taxpayer contributed to a special union fund and those contributions to the fund are not deductible. In this case, report only income exceeding the amount of contributions made.

Tax May be Withheld.
 Those who receive unemployment can choose to have federal income tax withheld by using Form W-4V, Voluntary Withholding Request. Those choosing not to have tax withheld may need to make estimated tax payments during the year.

Owing the IRS and Federal Tax Liens - ADVANCE TAX RELIEF

3/21/2017

0 Comments

 

Advance Tax Relief The Internal Revenue Service routinely files Federal Tax Liens against taxpayers who have unpaid tax obligations. A federal tax lien is a document filed with a county government (usually where the taxpayer lives or conducts business) notifying the general public that a taxpayer has an unpaid federal tax debt. Liens attach to the taxpayer's property (both real property and personal property).

ADVANCE TAX RELIEF LLC - WE SOLVE TAX PROBLEMS
www.advancetaxrelief.com
BBB A+ Rated - (800)790-8574

If property is sold while a lien is in effect, the IRS will be paid out of the sales proceeds before the taxpayer is paid. Once a lien is filed, it becomes a matter of public record. Liens record the full amount owed to the IRS at the time the lien is filed. This information is routinely picked up by the various credit reporting bureaus, and so federal tax liens will eventually show up on your credit report.

Liens Are Different from Levies
Some people use the words "lien" and "levy" interchangeably. A tax lien is a document filed by the IRS to protect the government's ability to collect money. A levy is the forced collection of tax, for example by confiscating money directly out of a bank account or paycheck.

Preventing a Lien Federal tax liens can be prevented from being filed in the first place by paying the tax in full and prior to any lien is filed by the IRS. Liens can also be prevented by setting up an installment agreement that meets the IRS requirements to avoid filing a lien. The IRS will not file a federal tax lien if a taxpayer sets up either a guaranteed installment agreement or a streamlined installment agreement. These types of installment agreements require that the outstanding balance be $10,000 or less in the case of guaranteed installment agreements or $25,000 or less in the case of streamlined installment agreements. If a taxpayer owes more than $25,000, a lien can be prevented if the taxpayer pays down the balance so that the balance is $25,000 or less and establishes a streamlined installment agreement.

Notifying Taxpayers that a Lien has been Filed The IRS generally notifies taxpayers after a federal tax lien has already been filed. The IRS will send taxpayers a Notice of Federal Tax Lien after the IRS has already filed a lien with the county. Federal tax liens are effective beginning ten days after the IRS issues a written demand for payment of outstanding taxes.

Removing a Lien The IRS will remove a federal tax lien if the lien was filed in error, if the outstanding balance is paid in full, if the outstanding balance is otherwise satisfied (for example through a successful offer in compromise), or if the lien becomes unenforceable (for example, because the lien has expired due to the ten-year statute of limitations). There are two basic ways to remove a federal tax lien: withdrawal and release.

Withdrawing a federal tax lien means the IRS will rescind the lien, as if the lien was never filed in the first place. Lien withdrawals generally occur when the federal tax lien was filed in error (for example, if a lien was filed against the wrong person). If a lien was filed in error, you should contact the IRS right away. An IRS agent will review your account history to verify that you don't owe the outstanding tax, and will prepare the paperwork necessary to withdraw the lien. However, the IRS has instituted a fresh start program under which taxpayers may be eligible for lien withdrawal provided certain criteria are met.

Releasing a federal lien means that the lien no longer encumbers your property. Upon releasing a lien, county records will be updated to reflect that the lien has been released. However the fact that there was once a federal tax lien will remain on your credit report for up to ten years. Liens are released within 30 days of full payment of the outstanding tax obligations or upon setting up a guaranteed or streamlined installment agreement. Less frequently, the IRS may release a federal tax lien if that will speed up the collection of tax or is in the best interests of the taxpayer and the government. Most federal tax liens are automatically released by the IRS after full payment of tax. The IRS should provide you with a copy of the lien release, which you can forward to the credit reporting bureaus to update your credit reports. Under the IRS's fresh start program, taxpayers may be eligible for lien withdrawal or release if their outstanding balance is under $25,000.

How a Federal Tax Lien Impacts Your Credit Federal tax liens adversely impact the credit of taxpayers. Your credit score will likely suffer, and you may find yourself with less than ideal opportunities to obtain new credit or to refinance existing credit.

Tactics for Dealing with Liens The best tactic is to prevent a tax lien from being filed in the first place. Consider bringing your outstanding balance under $25,000 and set up an installment agreement. This could result in you being eligible for a streamlined installment agreement, and no federal tax lien will be filed. If a lien has already been filed, you might be eligible for lien withdrawal under the IRS's fresh start program. You could bring your balance under $25,000 by transferring some or all of your tax to a credit card or home equity line, or by making payments to bring your balance under the $25,000 threshold. After the IRS has filed a tax lien, your options are much more limited. You could bring your balance under $25,000 and set up a streamlined installment agreement in an attempt to take advantage of the fresh start program. You could also pay off the outstanding balance in full.

Liens are Not Updated on Your Credit Report Unlike other credit and loan accounts, the IRS will not periodically update the balance on your federal tax lien. You can contact the IRS to obtain a letter showing the current payoff amount. However, that updated payoff amount will be sent only to the taxpayer. Taxpayers needing assistance in dealing with tax liens and tax collections should seek the advice of Advance Tax Relief.

​Debt Cancellation May be Taxable - Advance Tax Relief

3/7/2017

0 Comments

 

if a lender cancels part or all of a debt, a taxpayer must generally consider this as income. However, the law allows an exclusion that may apply to homeowners who had their mortgage debt canceled in 2016.

Here are 10 tips about debt cancellation:

   Main Home. If the canceled debt was a loan on a taxpayer’s main home, they may be  able to exclude the canceled amount from their income. They must have used the loan to buy, build or substantially improve their main home to qualify. Their main home must also secure the mortgage.


   Loan Modification. If a taxpayer’s lender canceled or reduced part of their mortgage balance through a loan modification or ‘workout,’ the taxpayer may be able to exclude that amount from their income. They may also be able to exclude debt discharged as part of the Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP. The exclusion may also apply to the amount of debt canceled in a foreclosure.

   Refinanced Mortgage. The exclusion may apply to amounts canceled on a refinanced mortgage. This applies only if the taxpayer used proceeds from the refinancing to buy, build or substantially improve their main home and only up to the amount of the old mortgage principal just before refinancing. Amounts used for other purposes do not qualify.

   Other Canceled Debt. Other types of canceled debt such as second homes, rental and business property, credit card debt or car loans do not qualify for this special exclusion. On the other hand, there are other rules that may allow those types of canceled debts to be nontaxable.

   Form 1099-C. If a lender reduced or canceled at least $600 of a taxpayer’s debt, the taxpayer should receive Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, by Feb. 1. This form shows the amount of canceled debt and other information.

   Form 982. If a taxpayer qualifies, report the excluded debt on Form 982, Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness. They should file the form with their income tax return.

   IRS.gov Tool. Taxpayers should use the Interactive Tax Assistant tool - Do I Have Cancellation of Debt Income on My Personal Residence? - on IRS.gov to find out if their canceled mortgage debt is taxable.

   Exclusion Extended. The law that authorized the exclusion of cancelled debt from income was extended through Dec. 31, 2016.

   IRS Free File.  IRS e-file is fastest, safest and easiest way to file. Taxpayers can use IRS Free File to e-file their tax return for free. If they earned $64,000 or less, they can use brand name tax software. The software does the math and completes the right forms for them. If they earned more than $64,000, they can use Free File Fillable Forms. This option uses electronic versions of IRS paper forms. It is best for those who are used to doing their own taxes. Free File is available only on IRS.gov/freefile.

  More Information. For more on this topic see Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions and Abandonments.

Taxpayers should keep a copy of their tax return. Beginning in 2017, taxpayers using a software product for the first time may need their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) amount from their prior-year tax return to verify their identity.

IRS CURRENTLY NON COLLECTIBLE - STATUS 53

3/4/2017

0 Comments

 

There are times where you agree with the IRS that you owe taxes, but you can’t pay due to your current financial situation. If the IRS agrees that you can’t both pay your taxes and your reasonable living expenses, it may place your account in Currently Not Collectible (CNC) (hardship) status.  

​While your account is in CNC status, the IRS will not generally engage in collection activity (for example, it won’t levy on your assets and income). However, the IRS will still charge interest and penalties to your account, and may keep your refunds and apply them to your debt.
 
Before the IRS will place your account in CNC status, it may ask you to file any delinquent tax returns. If you request CNC status, the IRS may ask you to provide financial information, including your income and expenses, and whether you can sell any assets or get a loan. If your account is placed in CNC status, during the time it can collect the debt the IRS may review your income annually to see if your situation has improved .

Generally, the IRS can attempt to collect your taxes up to 10 years from the date they were assessed, though the 10-year period is suspended in certain cases. The time the suspension is in effect will extend the time the IRS has to collect the tax.  

“If you’re in serious tax debt, I recommend these guys completely, 100 percent. It’s not a scam, it’s not fake, it’s real. They will really take care of you.” - A. Ortiz

The Child Tax Credit is a tax credit that may save taxpayers up to $1,000 for each eligible qualifying child. Taxpayers should make sure they qualify before they claim it. Advance Tax Relief - We Solve Tax Problems. Call (800)790-8574

Qualifications. For the Child Tax Credit, a qualifying child must pass several tests:

1) Age. The child must have been under age 17 on Dec. 31, 2016. Relationship. The child must be the taxpayer’s son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother or half-sister. The child may be a descendant of any of these individuals. A qualifying child could also include grandchildren, nieces or nephews. Taxpayers would always treat an adopted child as their own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with them for legal adoption.

Support. The child must have not provided more than half of their own support for the year.

Dependent. The child must be a dependent that a taxpayer claims on their federal tax return.

Joint return. The child cannot file a joint return for the year, unless the only reason they are filing is to claim a refund. Citizenship. The child must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national or a U.S. resident alien.

​Residence. In most cases, the child must have lived with the taxpayer for more than half of 2016. The IRS Interactive Tax Assistant tool – Is My Child a Qualifying Child for the Child Tax Credit? – helps taxpayers determine if a child is a qualifying child for the Child Tax Credit.

2) Limitations. The Child Tax Credit is subject to income limitations. The limits may reduce or eliminate a taxpayer’s credit depending on their filing status and income.

3) Additional Child Tax Credit. If a taxpayer qualifies and gets less than the full Child Tax Credit, they could receive a refund, even if they owe no tax, with the Additional Child Tax Credit.

FIVE REASONS TO FILE A TAX RETURN FOR 2016 - ADVANCE TAX RELIEF

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Most people file a tax return because they have to. Even if a taxpayer doesn’t have to file, there are times they should. They may be eligible for a tax refund and not know it.

Here are five tips on whether to file a tax return:


General Filing Rules.
  In most cases, income, filing status and age determine if a taxpayer must file a tax return. Other rules may apply if the taxpayer is self-employed or a dependent of another person. For example, if a taxpayer is single and under age 65, they must file if their income was at least $10,350.


Tax Withheld or Paid.  Did the taxpayer’s employer withhold federal income tax from their pay? Did the taxpayer make estimated tax payments? Did they overpay last year and have it applied to this year’s tax? If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions, they could be due a refund. They have to file a tax return to get it.

Earned Income Tax Credit.  A taxpayer who worked and earned less than $53,505 last year could receive the EITC as a tax refund. They must qualify and may do so with or without a qualifying child. They may be eligible for up to $6,269.
Additional Child Tax Credit.  Did the taxpayer have at least one child that qualifies for the Child Tax Credit? If they do not qualify for the full credit amount, they may be eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit.
American Opportunity Tax Credit.  To claim the AOTC, the taxpayer, their spouse or their dependent must have been a student enrolled at least half time for one academic period to qualify. The credit is available for four years of post-secondary education. It can be worth up to $2,500 per eligible student. Even if the taxpayer doesn’t owe any taxes, they may still qualify. Complete Form 8863, Education Credits, and file it with the tax return.

IRS Levy Notice CP504 vs. LT11 - Must Know

2/14/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture

A lot of IRS collection letters look the same, and those looks can often be very misleading. One of the biggest offenders is the IRS Notice of Intent to Levy IRS Notice CP504.

As part of its collection process, the IRS sends two different letters, each called a Notice of Intent to Levy.  On their surface, these two letters are indistinguishable to a layperson, and look the same. But they are very different in what they permit the IRS to do.
Before the IRS can levy you, they have to send the Notice of Intent to Levy.  

This is law under Internal Revenue Code Section 6330 – the IRS must notify you in writing before levying, and tell you about your rights to file an appeal within 30 days in response.  If an appeal is filed, the IRS cannot levy until it is resolved.
In other words, in most situations, the IRS is not permitted to levy by surprise.  But the letters they send to permit you to prevent it are camouflaged. Needless to say, it is extremely important to be able to distinguish between the real Notice of Intent to Levy and the wannabe.  

Your rights to protect your property can depend on it.
The wannabe Notice of Intent to Levy is identified as a CP504; the real one is identified by the IRS as an LT11 (sometimes it will be a L1058). Only the Notice of Intent to Levy identified as an LT11 actually permits the IRS to do so; the other (CP504) is, well, a dummy letter. The LT11 Notice of Intent to Levy follows the law and notifies you of the right to file an appeal action to stop the levy.

Only the LT11 provides notification of the rights to file a Collection Due Process action.  It even includes enclosures and forms to file the Collection Due Process Appeal.  No such forms are included with the CP504 because, well, it is not what it appears to be.  It provides no appeal rights, and as a result, does not standing alone permit the IRS to levy.

Only the LT11 permits the IRS to levy your wages, commissions, bank accounts, car, and home. In most cases, expect the IRS to send the CP504 immediately before the LT11.  To be sure the IRS has not sent the LT11/L1058 out of order, I recommend that you hire Advance Tax Relief (800)790-8574 to confirm.  An IRS account transcript will state if a real Final Notice has been sent, and when. If the IRS cannot levy after sending the CP504, one thing is for sure:  Your case is active in the IRS collection system.  That means the IRS is coming.

IRS DIRECT DEPOSIT - ADVANCE TAX RELIEF

2/8/2017

0 Comments

 

​Direct Deposit is Easy, safe and fast. It is the best way to get a tax refund. Currently, 80% of taxpayers choose this option every year. The IRS knows taxpayers have a choice of how to receive their refunds.

IRS Direct Deposit:

Is Fast. The quickest way for taxpayers to get their refund is to electronically file their federal tax return and use direct deposit. You can also use direct deposit for paper tax returns as well.

Is Secure. Since refunds go right into a bank account, there’s no risk of having a paper check stolen or lost in the mail. This is the same electronic transfer system used to deposit nearly 98 percent of all Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits into millions of accounts. 
                                                                                     
Is Convenient. There’s no need to wait for a refund check to come in the mail. 

Is Easy.  Choosing direct deposit is easy. With e-file, just follow the instructions in the tax software. For paper returns, the tax form instructions serve as a guide. Make sure to enter the correct bank account and routing number.

Has Options. Taxpayers can split a refund into several financial accounts. These include checking, savings, health, education and certain retirement accounts. The U.S. Treasury Department offers a retirement account. It’s called a MyRA account.  Designate all or a part of a refund to a new MyRA account. Simply mark the “savings” box in the refund section of the return. 

Use IRS Form 8888, Allocation of Refund (including Savings Bond Purchases), to deposit a refund in up to three accounts. Do not use Form 8888 to designate part of a refund to pay tax preparers.

Taxpayers should deposit refunds into accounts in their own name, their spouse’s name or both. Avoid making a deposit into accounts owned by others. Some banks require both spouses’ names on the account to deposit a tax refund from a joint return. 

Taxpayers should check with their bank for direct deposit rules. There is a limit of three electronic direct deposit refunds made into a single financial account or pre-paid debit card. The IRS will send a notice and a refund check in the mail to taxpayers who exceed the limit
