Tax Debt Problems – How to Reduce Your Tax Liability

December 27th, 2010

Let’s face it, no one wants to owe money to the government but it can happen to any one of us at any time. Owing more taxes than you expect can occur in any number of ways such as excessive capital gains through stock sales, not paying enough taxes throughout the year, not filing tax returns at all or simply exaggerating your deductibles. Tax debt problems can happen but there are ways to reduce your tax liability without losing everything you own.

Personally, I innocently double-dipped on some taxes for a relocation payment I received. I thought taxes were already taken out of the check so I included the amount ($5,000) as taxes paid on my tax return. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Not only did I owe the 5k in taxes but also the amount I received as a refund because I added it to my return. Luckily for me, this was not a massive error in judgement but it could have been much worse. The best thing I did was to accept my mistake and take care of the problem.

Don’t ignore the problem - The worst thing you can do is pretend this is not happening to you and hope it all goes away. If you ignore the problem, it will, in fact, get much worse. Even before the IRS contacts you about a problem, they have already added penalties and interest to the amount you own.

For every week and month that goes by without a resolution, the penalties and interest will increase and the IRS may even impose liens on your property. Do the right thing and contact the IRS to understand the situation before it’s too late.

Assess your situation - Once you have spoken with the IRS and confirmed that you do indeed owe back taxes, you’ll have to decide whether you can manage to pay the debt with seeking outside assistance.

In order to reduce or eliminate fees that continue to accrue while the debt is owed, you’ll need to pay the amount in full. If you can only manage a payment plan, interest and penalties will continue to be added to the total, making your debt even larger. Depending on the amount you owe, it may be wise to seek professional assistance and have them work with the IRS for you.

Tax Tips For Foreign Property Owners

January 21st, 2010

1. Don’t Forget You Still Have UK Tax To Pay!

Arguably, this is more of a warning than a tip, but it is vital to remember that any UK resident individual buying property abroad is still exposed to UK tax on that property. This may include UK Income Tax on rental income, UK Capital Gains Tax on property sales and UK Inheritance Tax on any foreign properties you leave to your children.

The UK tax burden is often greater than any foreign tax liabilities, so it makes sense to undertake UK tax planning for your foreign property. Many of the same planning techniques that work well on UK property can be used equally on foreign property, although the overseas angle adds an extra dimension and brings both additional opportunities and additional pitfalls to be wary of.

2. Main Residence Relief for Foreign Holiday Homes

There is nothing in the UK tax legislation to say that a foreign holiday home cannot be a UK resident individual’s main residence for Capital Gains Tax purposes.

A holiday home can be treated as your main residence by making an election to that effect, generally within two years of buying the property.

The foreign property must be your own holiday home for at least part of the time but, by making the election, you will be able to exempt some or all of the capital gain on your foreign home from UK Capital Gains Tax.

Beware, however, that you’re only allowed one main residence and, if you’re married or in a civil partnership, you’re only allowed one between you, so electing to treat your holiday home as your main residence could backfire if you sell your main house back in the UK.

You can get the best of both worlds though, if you only elect to treat your foreign property as your main residence for a short period, say a week. How does this help? Well, since every main residence is also exempt for the last three years of ownership, that week buys you three years. In other words, you lose one week’s worth of exemption on your main house but gain three years (and a week) of exemption on your foreign holiday home.

4 Steps to Reduce Your Taxes

April 15th, 2009

As a tax professional, I prepare hundreds of tax returns every year. When I first started out, I used to think that the best way I could help people was to prepare a return as accurately and as quickly as possible. You know, provide great customer service.

And it is very important that your return be done “right” –all the numbers on the right lines, using the right forms, etc.

But no matter how good a job I did preparing tax returns, every year I would hear the same complaint over and over again from my clients:

“I pay way too much tax. The government is getting way too much of my money. What can I do to pay less tax? How can I lower my tax bill — legally?”

Sound familiar? I’d bet a lot of money that you’ve felt this way, too. Most people feel this way. And I know that most small business owners feel this way.

And most people really don’t know what to do about it. I mean, what can you, the typical self-employed person, do to lower your taxes?

I’m here to tell that there is plenty you can do. So let’s get started. Here are 4 simple steps you can take to drastically reduce your taxes:
