Offer in Compromise (OIC).
An OIC is an offer made by a taxpayer to the IRS to settle a tax liability for less than the full amount owed. Submitting an offer application does not ensure that the IRS will accept a taxpayer's offer. The submission of an OIC begins a process of evaluation and verification by the IRS, taking into consideration any special circumstances that might affect the taxpayers's ability to pay. Generally, the IRS will not accept an offer if the taxpayer can pay the tax debt in full via an installment agreement or a lump sum. 

Federal Tax Lien. A legal claim against all of a taxpayer's current and future property, such as a house or car, and rights to property, such as wages and bank accounts. A lien automatically comes into existence if the taxpayer does not pay the amount due after receiving the first tax bill. 

Notice of Federal Tax Lien. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien gives public notice to creditors. The IRS files the Notice of Federal Tax Lien to establish the priority of claim versus the claims of other creditors. The Notice of Federal Tax Lien is filed with local or state authorities, such as county registers of deeds or the Secretary of State offices. If a Notice of Federal Tax Lien is filed against a taxpayer, it is often reported by consumer credit reporting agencies. This can have a negative effect on the taxpayer's credit rating and make it difficult to receive credit. Employers, landlords, and others may also use this information and not favorably view the fact that a Notice of Federal Tax Lien has been filed against the taxpayer. 

IRS Levy. While a federal tax lien is a legal claim against a taxpayer's property, a levy is a legal seizure that actually takes the property (such as a taxpayer's house or car) or the taxpayer's rights to property (such as a taxpayer's income, bank account, or social security payments) to satisfy a tax debt. 

IRS Seizure of Property. If taxes are not paid or arrangements are not made to settle the tax debt, the IRS could seize and sell the taxpayer's property. Examples of property The IRS can seize include: Wages, Salary, or Commissions held by someone else; Bank account; Federal payments; Taxpayer's house and Personal property. 

Choosing a Tax Return Preparer. If you pay someone to prepare your tax return, the IRS urges you to choose that preparer wisely. Taxpayers are legally responsible for what's on their tax return even if it is prepared by someone else. So it is important to choose carefully when hiring an individual or firm to prepare your return. Most tax return preparers are professional, honest and provide excellent service to their clients. 

The IRS wants to remind all taxpayers that they should use only preparers who sign the returns they prepare and enter their Preparer Tax Identification Numbers (PTINs).

Whatever the reason, borrowers should be well informed, call us now (858) 549-3434.

 TAX FILING 2016



Refund Delays 2016

If your 2016 tax return claims an Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit your refund will be held by IRS until February 15th. This delay is being mandated by recent tax law changes because of the proliferation of identity theft and fraudulent tax returns using taxpayer information. This extra time will be used by the IRS to help prevent revenue loss due to theft.

Those most impacted by this change are early tax return filers. If you typically file early, do not delay filing your tax return because of this rule change. Tax returns can still be processed. Only the refund is being delayed. Filing early can help you avoid the bottleneck of tax refund processing. On February 15th you will want to be at the front of the line to receive your money. If you historically plan on receiving an early refund, you will now need to plan for this delay.

Tax Filing Date Changes 2016

There are new tax filing deadlines effective for 2016 tax returns. Small businesses that are organized as a partnership or limited liability companies filing Form 1065 must file their tax return on or before March 15, 2017. This moves the required filing date up one month versus last year. Year-end C Corporations filing is a month later. The old filing date of March 15th is now moved to April 15th. Annual reporting of foreign bank accounts moves from June 30th to April 15th. This is FBAR Form 114.  

Standard Deductions 2016

The Basic standard deduction for 2016 is $12,600 for married persons filing jointly and qualifying widows/widowers, $9,300 for heads of households, or $6,300 for single taxpayers or married persons filing separately. The additional standard deduction for being 65 or older or blind is $1,550 if single or head of household ($3,100 if 65 and blind). If married filing jointly, the additional standard deduction is $1,250 if one spouse is 65 or older or blind, $2,500 if both spouses are at least 65 (or one is 65 and blind, or both are blind and under age 65).

Income Brackets For 2016 Tax Rates

The 10%, 15%, %25%, 28%, 33%, 35% and 39.6% brackets for 2016 ordinary income reflect an inflation adjustment. The top bracket of 39.6% applies if taxable income exceeds $415,050 for single taxpayers, $441,000 for head of households, $466,950 for married persons filing jointly and qualifying widows/widowers, and $233,475 for married taxpayers filing separate returns.

Personal Exemptions Phase-out 2016

Personal exemptions and itemized deductions are subject to a phase-out. Each $4,050 personal exemption for 2016 is subject to a phase-out if adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $311,300 if married filing jointly or qualifying widow/widower, $285,350 if head of household, $259,400 if single, and $155,650 if married filing separately.

No Taxable Income On Cancellation Of Debt 2016

IRS Mileage Allowance 2016

The IRS standard business mileage rate for 2016 is 54 cents a mile. The rate for medical expenses and moving expenses deductions is 19 cents a mile. For charitable volunteers, the mileage rate is unchanged at 14 cents a mile.

Earned Income Tax Credit 2016

Identity PIN 2016

Look for your Identity PIN. If you are among the millions who have been impacted by IRS Identity theft you will receive a PIN from the IRS. This PIN is your added security to ensure that would be thieves can not successfully process a tax return using your private information. If you receive this IRS notice do not throw it out. Last year the IRS mislabeled the form with the wrong year. Those who accidentally threw it out then faced the hassle of getting it replaced.

 TAX FILING 2014




Federal Legislative Update 2014:

With only a few exceptions, the Act extends through 2014, only the extender provisions that had expired after 2013. In total,
55 provisions were extended and only five were allowed to expire. The key provisions are:


Individual Provisions 2014:

- State and local sales tax deduction
- $250 teachers’ deduction for classroom supplies
- Debt discharge on principal residence
- IRA-to-Charity exclusion
- Increased excludable employer-provided mass transit and parking benefits
- Liberalized rules for qualified conservation contributions
- Above-line deduction for qualified tuition expenses


Individual Provisions 2014:

- Enhanced IRC section 179 with a limit of $500,000
- Fifty percent bonus depreciation(includes $8,000 boost to first-year          
   depreciation on qualifying vehicles)
- Fifteen-year depreciation on qualified leasehold and retail improvements
   and restaurant property
- Seven-year depreciation for motor sport race track facilities
- Five-year period for built-in gains tax
- Exclusion of 100 percent of gain on sale of small business stock
- Expensing election for costs of film and television production
- Classification of certain race horses as three-year property
- Accelerated depreciation for business property on an Indian reservation
- Research Tax Credit
- Work Opportunity Tax Credit
- Enhanced charitable deduction for contribution of food inventory.


Energy Provisions 2014: 

- Non-business energy property credit
- New energy efficient home credit
- Energy efficient commercial buildings deduction
- Alternate fuels and mixtures excise tax credit.


Five Provisions Not Extended 2014:

- Health coverage tax credit for displaced workers and retirees
- Plug-in credit for two and three wheeled vehicles
- Energy efficient appliance credit
- New York Liberty Zone tax-exempt bond financing
- Partial expensing of refinery equipment.


California Conformity 2014:

The only provision California conforms to is the IRA-Charity provision. Thus, California treatment will be the same as federal. 



2014 Alimony In The Spotlight:


Alimony payments are deductible by the paying spouse. The receiving spouse must report alimony as income on his or her tax return.

Unfortunately, in a recent Treasury Department audit of tax returns, 47 percent of those that claimed to pay alimony did not have a matching tax return from someone that added the payment back as income. This mismatch of alimony payments and claimed income is now one of the areas in the spotlight of the IRS.
 

You May Now Need To File Income Tax Return 2014:


With the new tax laws beginning in 2014, a number of taxpayers who were not traditionally required to file a tax return may now need to do so. Here are three new situations in 2014 that may require you to file a tax return.


You Have No Medical Insurance 2014:

 

Beginning in 2014, if you are not in a qualified health insurance plan you will need to file a tax return to pay the tax penalty. As part of Obama-care, there is now a minimum penalty of $95.00 per individual ($285.00 per family) if you do not have health insurance. The maximum penalty is 1.0 percent of your income.


You Qualify For The New Health Insurance Premium Credit 2014: 

If you signed up for health insurance through the new health insurance exchange, you may be eligible for a reduction of your insurance premium through a tax credit. You may have already applied the credit to reduce your monthly insurance bill. In either case, if this credit applies to you, you must file a tax return.


Alimony or Child Support 2014: 

Given the increased attention in this area by the IRS, if you pay or receive alimony or child support you will want to ensure your tax return is filed to avoid an automatic mismatch with your ex-spouse’s tax return.

 TAX FILING 2013



SHORT SALES NOT SUBJECT TO STATE OR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
FOR CANCELLATION OF DEBtT 2013 

Short sales in California are generally not subject to state or federal income tax for cancellation of debt. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) issued a letter December 4, 2013
stating that, as nonrecourse obligations, short sales in California are not subject to state income tax for cancellation of debt. The FTB's position conforms with the federal treatment of short sales stated in an IRS letter dated September 19, 2013 sent to senator Barbara Boxer’s office. These letters will provide welcome relief for short sale sellers given that the tax break for a qualified principal residence under the federal Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 will expire at the end of this year (2013), and similar protection under California law already expired in 2012. The FTB letter includes transactions that closed in 2012 but, as always, sellers should consult with their own tax professionals. 

According to the recent FTB letter, “a California taxpayer would not have cancellation of indebtedness where the taxpayer was involved in a short sale pursuant to CCP section 580e.” Section 580e of the California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) generally protects borrowers from owing a deficiency after a short sale of a residential property with one-to-four units, including both first and junior trust deeds. Exceptions include fraud, waste, cross-collateralized loans, and borrowers that are corporations, LLCs, or limited partnerships. 

As with the IRS letter, the FTB letter states that even if no cancellation of debt income is owed, a taxpayer may nevertheless have capital gains to the extent that the outstanding debt exceeds the tax basis for the property. A principal residence, however, is generally excluded from capital gains tax up to $250,000 for single taxpayers and $500,000 for married couples filing joint returns (under 26 U.S.C. § 121). 


Tax Rate Brackets 2013 

The 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35% brackets for 2013 ordinary income reflect an inflation adjustment, and there is a new top bracket of 39.6% that applies if taxable income exceeds $400,000 for single taxpayers, $4254,000 for heads of households, $450,000 for married persons filing jointly and qualifying widows/widowers, and $225 for married taxpayers filing separate returns.

Additional Medicare Taxes 2013 

Starting in 2013, higher-income taxpayers may be subject to one or both of the new additional Medicare taxes that are intended to help pay for health care reform.

Phaseout Of Personal Exemptions 2013 

For the first time since 2009, personal exemptions and itemized deductions are subject to a phaseout. Each $3,900 personal exemption for 2013 is subject to a phaseout if adjusted gross income(AGI) exceeds $300,000 if married filing jointly or qualifying widow/widower, $275,000 if head of household, $250,000 if single, and $150,000 if married filing separately.

Legal Same-Sex Marriages Recognized For Federal Tax Purposes 2013 

The IRS implemented the Supreme Court decision that invalidated the federal definition of marriage in the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act by ruling that it would recognize legal marriages of same-sex couples. So long as a same-sex couple is legally married in a jurisdiction that recognizes the marriage, the IRS will recognize the marriage for all federal income tax purposes, even if the couple lives in a jurisdiction that does not recognize same-sex marriages. The IRS ruling does not apply to state-recognized registered domestic partnership, civil unions, or similar relationships.

Standard Deductions 2013 

The standard deduction for 2013 is $12,200 for married persons filing jointly and qualifying widows/widowers, $8,950 for heads of household or $6,100 for single taxpayers or married persons filing separately. The additional standard deductions
for being 65 or older or blind is $1,500 if single or head of household ($3,000 if 65 and blind) If married filing jointly, the additional standard deduction is $1,200 if one spouse is 65 or older or blind, $2,400 if both spouses are at least 65 ( or one is 65 and blind).

Deduction Floor For Medical Expenses 2013 

Starting in 2013, the floor for deducting medical expenses as an itemized deduction increases to 10% of adjusted gross income (AGI) if you and your spouse are under age 65 at the end of the year. If either you and your spouse is age 65 or older, expenses exceeding 7.5% of AGI may be claimed , as under pre-2013 rules.

Simplified Method For Home Office Deduction 2013 

The IRS has provided a optional safe harbor method for figuring a home office deduction on Schedule C. For 2013, $5 per square foot may be deducted for up to 300 square feet, a maximum deduction of $1,500.  

IRA and Roth IRA


For 2013, the contribution limit for traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs is $5,500, or $6,500 for those age 50 or older.

IRS Mileage Allowance 2013 

The IRS standard business mileage rate for 2013 is 56.5 cents a mile. The rate for medical expenses and moving expenses deductions is 24 cents a mile. For charitable volunteers , the mileage rate is 14 cents a mile.

Vehicle Depreciation Limit 2013 

If a new car is placed in service in 2013 and used over 50% for business, bonus depreciation allows an $11, 160 first-year depreciation limit. The limit is $3,600 if bonus depreciation is not allowed. For a light truck or van, the limit is $11,360 if bonus depreciation applies and $3,360 without the bonus. The limits are reduced for personal use.

The maximum foreign earned income exclusion for 2013 is $97,600. The limit on housing expenses that may be taken into account in figuring the housing exclusion is generally $29,280, but the limit is increased by the IRS for high cost localities.

After June 30, 2013, FBARs must be electronically filed to the Treasury Department on FinCEN Form 114.
