An 'After pay' like system is now available

In today's fast-paced world, flexible payment options like 'After Pay' have become a popular choice for managing expenses.

But did you know there's a similar option available for handling your tax debts? It's called a Partial Payment Installment Agreement (PPIA).

A PPIA is a payment plan established with the IRS that allows you to make monthly payments towards your tax debt that are more in line with what you can afford.

This means you won't have to pay off your entire debt in one large sum, and instead, can spread your payments out over time, much like 'After Pay' 'buy now, pay later' approach.

-- > Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, allowing you to regain control over your financial situation.

We're at your service, ready to help you you set up a PPIA, potentially reduce penalties, and get you back on track towards financial stability.

Or call 240.553.8010 during business hours to schedule with the team.

OR view our library of articles here for free advice before your consultation -- > https://www.bernicehassancpa.org/irs-help

NOTE: Your tax debt must be over $15,000 to qualify for this 3-step process. Learn more by scheduling your intro call.

The Biggest Tax Myth That Causes IRS Problems

Let’s clear up a very costly misconception:

….Taxes are NOT due on April 15.
….Your tax RETURN is due on April 15.

Your tax liability is due by December 31 of the tax year.

By law, the U.S. operates on a “pay-as-you-go” tax system under Internal Revenue Code § 6654 and § 6655, which requires individuals — especially self-employed taxpayers — to pay taxes throughout the year as income is earned.

If you are self-employed, receive 1099 income, have rental income, capital gains, or other income without withholding, you are required to make quarterly estimated tax payments (IRC § 6654).

Estimated tax deadlines are generally:
• April 15
• June 15
• September 15
• January 15 (following year)

If you wait until April 15 to pay the full amount owed for the prior year, you may be subject to:
• Underpayment penalties
• Interest charges
• A growing IRS balance

This is the #1 root cause of tax problems we see:
Failure to pay estimated taxes throughout the year.

April 15 is simply the deadline to file your tax return (IRC § 6072). It is not the deadline to first pay your taxes.

If you are self-employed and not paying estimated taxes, you are setting yourself up for penalties — even if you eventually file on time.

I'm on my way out the door this morning, but before finishing up, I wanted to share this heartfelt, life-changing tax hack with you (after you read the testimonial below)

It's called... The Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED)

Your taxes could be written off after 10 years from the date they were assessed, but only if they have been filed. Even if you dont have the funds to pay your taxes, it is in your best interest to file NOW so the CSED can start to run.

If you have multiple years of unfiled tax returns, you can book your free consultation with my firm today. We have limited spots left for new clients.

There's only one way to find out if the CSED applies to you... Speak to us now: https://www.bernicehassancpa.org/calendar

Important: Received LT11 / Letter 1058: IRS Intent to Levy—Act Now.

We're seeing a surge in LT11/ Letter 1058 notices being sent out for 2023 tax returns, particularly targeting Schedule C business owners. If you've received one, here's what you need to know:

What is an LT 11/ Letter 1058?
LT11 or Letter 1058 is the most serious IRS collection notice.

This letter means:

The IRS intends to levy wages and bank accounts

You have 30 days to act

You may still request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing

Ignoring this letter can result in immediate financial hardship.

Time is of the essence

That knot in your stomach?

The sleepless nights?

Feels of despair?

Endlessly searching Google and Youtube to no avail hoping for some type of legitimate tax relief...

-- > I've seen it hundreds of times with clients who came to us feeling exactly like you do right now.

Just last week, I sat down with a business owner who owed $127,000 in back taxes. He'd been putting off dealing with it for years because tax season always brought up too much anxiety.

Want to know what happened?

-- > We managed to settle his case for just $18,000 through a specialized IRS program that most people don't even know exists.

The IRS actually has multiple programs designed to help people just like you.

-- > But timing is critical - especially during tax season when their offices are swamped.

The longer you wait, the fewer options you'll have.

I have a few appointment slots open this week where we can:

Review your specific tax situation
Identify which IRS programs you qualify for
Create a clear action plan to resolve your tax debt
