No one really loves to pay taxes, however most people buckle down this time of year, grit their teeth and do their duty as U.S. citizens. Unfortunately, this most unpleasant duty is becoming more difficult in light of recent budget cuts at the IRS.
In the past, the IRS has offered services to help Americans navigate the complicated tax codes. There were robust customer service programs that included telephone help as well as walk-in centers.
Now, according to a recent MainStreet article, “Today the IRS refuses to answer any but the most basic questions on tax law. The agency has also discontinued all help for off-season requests leaving, for example, anyone who has to file quarterly estimated taxes (a relatively complicated process) on his own.

Tax Season is in full swing. So are the tax scam artists. The last thing in the world any taxpayer needs is to become the prey of these dirty rotten scammers. Once caught up in their web a whole world of chaos unfolds. And the only one who gets hurt is you. The scammer is off to another victim before you know what has happened.
Each year the IRS publishes the top twelve scams. (www.irs.gov) In the last few years the one that continues to top the list is the phone scam. Here’s how it plays out. Someone calls pretending to be an IRS representative.

Warning number one: The IRS does not initiate contact with individuals by calling. They always send a formal letter on IRS stationary when contacting anyone regarding unpaid taxes.
So, if anyone calls you claiming to be the IRS, ask for a telephone number. Tell them you’ll call them back. Better yet, tell them you’ll have your attorney call them back.
Warning number two: the IRS does not threaten, intimidate, nor do they use aggressive language.
IRS tax scams are reaching epidemic proportions. I get calls every week from clients and prospective clients saying that the IRS has called them threatening arrest, seizure of assets and worse.

As more Americans are becoming aware of the controversial and, frankly criminal program that has caused the ruin of small businesses and damaged the lives of thousands of innocent people, Civil asset forfeiture has, according to a recent Washington Post article “become one of the few public policy and social issues that united activists and lawmakers across the political spectrum, some of whom dubbed the system ‘policing for profit.’”
The program which includes monitoring bank deposits began more than 30 years ago as part of the war on drugs. The Post article reports that, “Since 2008, thousands of local and state police agencies have made more than 55,000 seizures of cash and property worth $3 billion under a civil asset forfeiture program at the Justice Department called Equitable Sharing.” They are entitled to make these seizures “without proving that a crime occurred”, as stated by Attorney General Holder who finally, last Friday, barred local and state police from using federal law to make any further seizures without proving that a crime occurred.

In a recent article, I wrote about the highly controversial Civil Asset Forfeiture program, which allows the IRS to monitor and seize the assets of small businesses and individuals without ever having to prove they were in any way involved in criminal activity. Initially originated as a way to target alleged terrorists and tax evaders, the IRS decided to target anyone who makes a series of small deposits in a relatively short period of time that adds up to $10,000 or more.
All financial institutions in the U.S. are required by law to fill out forms and submit them to the IRS alerting them to this type of activity.

With the closing of the year, it’s time to start thinking about preparing to file your taxes. Never a pleasant topic, but it is one that must be broached. The sooner you begin preparing, the sooner you can file and the sooner it will be over. To make it a little easier on the indigestion, there are a few new tax breaks that pertain to small businesses, home based entrepreneurs and employers offering health care flexible spending accounts.
First, according to “Key tax changes for 2014 and beyond” on Bankrate, referring to new tax rules favoring small and home based businesses, the article states, ““Under the new rule, you can bypass detailed expense records and simply deduct $5 for every square foot of home office space used, up to a maximum of 300 square feet, or $1,500.
