For my more popular blog posts I ahve started recording podcasts for the Tax Rep podcast on ITunes.Last week my BLOG POST discussed why taxpayers should not just file joint returns without thinking through the Tax Collection consequences of the filing.  JOint liability is no joke, and innocent spouse treatment can be a challenge to qualify for. You can listen to the podcast here on the Tax Rep Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasts-tax-rep-llc/id1276903945Enjoy the Podcast, and if you have any other questions or concerns regarding the iRS you want me to discuss please send me a message and let me know. Thanks!

Based on the feedback of the blog article I posted a little while ago, I have recorded a podcast walking you through why it is critical to consider filing the State tax returns first, then filing the federal returns.  As I mentioned in the Blog Post HERE, filing the state tax returns first can both help resolve the state issue and make resolving the federal tax issue that much easier.Check out the podcast here at Tax Rep in Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasts-tax-rep-llc/id1276903945

When it comes to tax crimes in New Haven, Connecticut, New York city or elsewhere, Tax Evasion is always considered the big kahuna of tax crimes.  So what is "Tax Evasion"?We handle civil IRS cases and criminal tax cases all over the United States, and therefore see a lot of what taxpayers do and don't do that later get them into trouble.  One thing I do notice is the confusion about what "Tax Evasion" actually is, and that most practitioners do not realize there are two forms of tax evasion: Evasion of Liability and Evasion of Collection.  More and more, the Evasion of Collection is being used to go after taxpayers, particularly when the government has noted that the taxpayer is structuring cash deposits.  Structuring is one of those crimes that many people commit without even realizin...

The focus of our practice is on civil and criminal tax controiversies in Connecticut and New York City.  An individual’s petition to invalidate four Notices of Federal Tax Liens filed against him was dismissed for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted. He petitioned the court to invalidate the liens based on a number of tax-protestor-type arguments including, inter alia, that there was no authority for filing the Notices against him under the Administrative Procedures Act, that no Executive Orders existed to establish internal revenue districts for the collection and enforcement of income taxes, the regulations used by the IRS for its assessment authority and its method of assessment were unenforceable because they aren’t published in the Federal Register, and the au...

The number one reason why business owners in New Haven, Connecticut come to us for IRS help is payroll tax debts. Unpaid payroll taxes can wreak financial havoc for both the business and the individual owners. When a business fails to pay over its payroll taxes to the IRS the agency can assess those responsible individuals for the “Trust Fund” portion of the taxes, meaning those taxes actually withheld from the employees pay.A recent opinion from the United States Tax Court provides some great insight into who can be considered a “responsible person” in the context of an assessment of trust fund recovery penalties (“TFRP”). In Fitzpatrick v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, T.C. Memo. 2016-199 (Nov. 2, 2016), Judge Vasquez held that an individual was not liable for the TFRP assessed ag...

It is not infrequent that companies that have cash-slow issues fall beind in their payroll tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  In fact, it might be the number one reason why taxpayers who need help with the IRS end up coming to us.  Now for years, as we have helped taxpayers in New Haven, Connecticut and beyond with payroll tax liabilities.  Things appear to be changing in this area of IRS enforcement.In 1998 Congress changed the statute to require the IRS to provide a taxpayer an opportunity for a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing with an IRS Appeals Officer (referred to as "Settlement Officers") prior to proceeding to levy action.  In 2007 Congress amended the statute to allow the IRS to proceed directly to levy without notice if the taxpayer had already had a CDP ...

We focus on tax related issues, including civil and criminal tax controversies in New Haven and across Connecticut and New York.  At the latest American Bar Association Tax Section Meeting Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline Ciraolo confirmed that the Department of Justice Tax Division and IRS Criminal Investigation will continue their combined crackdown on businesses and business owners who fail to properly account for and pay-over payroll tax dollars.  The message was as strong as that delivered last November at the New England IRS Representation Conference at Foxwoods Hotel & Casino by Ciraolo.  You can watch my interview of Caroline Ciraolo here (the video at the bottom named “Eric Green’s Interview of Carline Ciraolo, Acting Assistant Attorney General for The Dept. of Justic...
