Make a list and check it twice. Or print this out and keep it with you while doing and reviewing your taxes. Mistakes, especially these common ones are responsible for prolonging tax season and may lead to an audit. While not making these mistakes will not keep you immune from audit, tax returns without mistakes will get your refund more quickly and bring tax season to a speedier, uneventful close.
This edited excerpt comes from a March 9th U.S. News and World Report online article. (www.news.yahoo.com/avoid-top-10-tax-mistakes-130629111.html) These are the kinds of mistakes I hear from people and prospective clients all the time.

I am writing about the IRS telephone tax scam again because it is not going away anytime soon. In fact, the scam is gathering steam and speed. According to CBS News, “The people behind this scam are calling at least 10,000 Americans every week.”
The IRS continues to issue alerts on irs.gov about this massive phone scam. However these scammers are absolutely ruthless. So don’t let your guard down, even if you’ve already filed your tax return. If anyone calls saying they are from the IRS, hang up the phone. If they leave a voice message do not return the call.

We often assume that famous movie stars have all the money in the world and wonder why and how they get into deep IRS debt. The recently revealed case of Robert DiNiro’s $6 million plus IRS debt sheds light on how this can happen.
In his case, Mr. DiNiro has multiple residences and the IRS was sending communications to an old address. By the time the debt came to his attention, multiple fines and fees had brought his outstanding bill to $6.4 million.
Most public figures don’t usually deal with their debts as gracefully and swiftly as did Mr. DiNiro who wrote a check for the entire balance and had it hand delivered to the nearest IRS office.

I advise people to save their tax records anywhere from 3 to 7 years. Corporations and small businesses must hold onto their records longer, maybe indefinitely. That’s because typically the IRS has three full years if they are going to audit, and six years when the audit involves offshore accounts. The word to pay attention to is “typically.” Those parameters go out the window if certain mistakes are made on your tax returns. And the endless nightmare begins
Failure To Sign
Forgetting to sign your tax return is a mistake that completely invalidates your tax return. This simple mistake happens more often than you may think.

Not only did song and dance playwright, George M. Cohan lead the way on Broadway, he also broke new ground with the IRS. Cohan who wrote Broadway hits like “Give My Regards to Broadway” and “Yankee Doodle Boy” paid for much of his travel and entertainment with cash and was bold enough to go up against the IRS when, back in the 1920’s they denied all his deductions.
We all know how important it is to keep our receipts in case we ever get audited, especially travel and entertainment receipts the IRS already looks upon with suspicion. However, most people don’t know about or think about the Cohan case.

This story is music to my ears! Earlier this month, the IRS apologized for seizing the bank accounts of innocent, law-abiding citizens. Not only did they say, “I’m sorry”, they also said they were going to change their ways. That’s a first.
The Associated Press published the article which stated, “Pressured by Congress, the IRS said Wednesday it is changing its policies and apologizing for seizing banks accounts from otherwise law-abiding business owners simply because they structured bank transactions to avoid federal reporting requirements.”
(www.finance.yahoo.com/news/irs-apologizes-seizing-bank-accounts-172627143.html)
The interesting thing about the above statement is that the IRS, while apologizing, is also alleging that the business owners whose accounts were seized were actually guilty of structuring their bank deposits in order to avoid paying taxes.
