The main focus of my practice is taxpayer representation involving IRS tax issues and compliance.  Some taxpayers who filed tax returns for 2021 using the married-filing-jointly filing status may receive or have already received an IRS notice CP14 erroneously demanding a remaining tax balance owed or an incorrect amount owed, the IRS said in a statement Wednesday.Generally, the error occurs when a payment was made by a spouse who was the second-listed taxpayer on the return (secondary spouse). The IRS said its programming does not credit payments made by the secondary spouse to the couple's joint account when they are either (1) not made electronically; (2) made electronically but posted "before the joint return indicator is present to identify the primary taxpayer"; or (3) made by the ... 08/03/2022

The main focus of my practice is taxpayer representation involving IRS tax issues and compliance.If I was going to describe something analogous to negotiating with the IRS to alleviate penalties, interest and other issues it would be a marathon.  I've run a few of these marathons, Boston included, and if not planned out accordingly there could be some missteps that could cause an undesirable outcome.  Go out too fast and you will pay for it in the latter stages. (I've done that and it was painful.) The key is to have a steady and even pace to cross the finish line.  It's the same with IRS in negotiating to get penalties and interest abated, setting up an offer in compromise (OIC), or getting levies and fines removed.  Don't ignore the IRS, open your mail and work with a professional usi... 08/05/2022
