\nIf you have obtained an extension to submitting your taxes, you can still hire some help to submit your taxes before the extended deadline, which are September 15 for corporations and October 17 for individual taxpayers.
\nIf you receive a letter from the IRS, don\u2019t panic. \u00a0It might not mean you are being called for a full audit.<\/a> \u00a0Generally, the IRS has up to 3 years to question your tax submission. \u00a0More often than not, a letter from the IRS means they are requesting for information or clarification on some items on your return. \u00a0For example, when the IRS cannot match the income on your return with a Form 1099 from your employer, you would get a letter from the IRS seeking clarification.
\nRemember if you make an amendment to your tax submission (for example if you insert a source of income you omitted earlier), the 3 year time limit for the IRS to question your tax submission re-starts from the date you file your amendment. \u00a0Amendments to your return can be done using IRS Form 1040X, Amended US Individual Income Tax Return or Form 1120X Amended US Corporation Tax Return. \u00a0 If you are a partnership, you should re-file Form 1065, US Return of Partnership Income.
\nThe IRS uses computers to detect discrepancies and anomalies. \u00a0For instance, if you are a typical salaried worker but you spend a high amount of money on gifts and meals like a business owner does, the computer will pick this up and you might receive a letter from the IRS requesting to see your receipts.
\nSo if you do receive a letter from the IRS, it is wise to consult a tax attorney. \u00a0Call us at (813) 229 7100 for a free consultation on your tax issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
