so have to pay, i now find out was not turned in for 4 or 5 years,, altho it was an honest mistake he thought when closed account you paid,,, how likely is it to be audited for few years back since they found a mistake in 04

not sure what you mean by "not turned in"... if you mean that he did not report sales of stock, then it is possible they will go back and look. if it was not a big amount of money they may not bother.

just a correction of the previous answer. There wont necessarily be an audit. Whoever has claimed you in previous years will get the priority and be allowed to claim you. The other persons claim will be kicked out and if they have already received the money from the irs they will have to pay back taxes

They want to see 2003 and 2005 to see continuity of operations.\n\nFirst tell the auditor that you do not have all your receipts and why you do not have them.\n\nTry to legally recreate them.  For example you purchased a typewriter for your business.  Get the instruction manual and warranty card for it, find a office supply cataloge that shows what the purchse price would have been then.   Get what ever support you can to justify your deductions.  Look at your credit card statements (get copies if you have to or download them).  If you went to a seminar in Miami call them and have them fax you a statement saying you were there and what the dates were, same with the hotel where you stayed.  Get the software books and boxes to prove you purchased them.\n\nOnce the auditor starts looking at your return he will narrow in on only a couple of areas.  You did not say what type of Schedule C you did but the usual places they go are Entertainment Expense and Travel Expense.  \n\nThe one thing he will do is ask you for all your bank statements.  I mean ALL of them(personal and business accounts).  Have them for him.  If you do not have them now call the bank to get copies, or download them off the net.  \n\nWhat he will do with the bank statements is add up all of the deposits that went into every account, subtract from this transfers that came from other accounts.  This is the income that you should have reported as Gross Receipts on your schedule C.  If not you better be able to account for every difference.  If it is higher he will increase your income by that amount.  \n\nIf there were deposits to your account for reasons other than business income then you need to show proof where it came from.  For example your brother gave you $5,000 as a birthday gift.  \n\nGive him every thing in a nice orderly package, tie each amount on the return to the package.  DO NOT GIVE HIM A SHOEBOX.  If the auditor feels you are not hiding anything then he not ask for more information if you are upfront with a lot of information.\nBut do not give him more than he really needs to know.\n\nIf he asks you "Do you know what time it is?" the correct answer is "Yes" the wrong answer is "It is 9:45am"\n\nIf you do not know the answer tell him "I will check and get that information for you"  Do not lie, make up information.  you will trip over your own toes.  Do not have any one else there with you, they will give out useless information that can bite you.\n\nBefore your first meeting you will get an IDR#1 this is called a Information Document Request #1 and will list every item on it that he will need.  It will narrow down where he will be looking at.\n\nAt the end of the first meeting he will ask you for more information.  Ask him for another IDR.  Do not give him more information unless it is listed on the IDR!  \n\nAlso keep a list of what information you do give him.\n\nIf you feel you are getting into trouble CALL A CPA from a local cpa firm spend the money because he may save you from thousands if you are really going to get into trouble.  Or talk to your friends, one of them may know someone who works at a firm that could advise you for a small fee.\n\nBe aware that Schedule C returns are the most audited 1040 returns out there.

I think you have a legitimate complaint. How did they get you banking information to begin with?  I think if you authorize them to take money out of your account they should have your voice recorded giving them permission to take out the $600.00, on whatever date it is they took it out on. Get your information from the bank and call them back and turn the tables on them and ask them who gave them authorization to take the money out on this date, and that you want proof of it. You will be coming in for the proof and taking it to your attorney to review. If you are able to pick it up don't tell them you are going to your attorney until they hand over the proof. Also, ask them to highlight where you gave them permission to take this  extra $600.00. If you ask for the proof and they can't come up with it they will have to put it back in your account immediately. Make sure you tell them so. If they won't put the money back into your account and they give you a paper that is showing proof that you didn't authorize you will have to get an attorney. I hope not but they can't get away with doing things like this. Also, threaten to call the local newspaper and tell them what they did. See how they like that. You could also call the police and ask them if you have any recourse with this company. Usually going on the news scares the daylights out of them because it hurts their business.

If they have already contacted you regarding the money, there is no statute of limitations on collecting.  Howefver, they have three years from the date you filed your return to examine your returns.  Once they have done that, they can take their time.  However, if they beleive you have committed fraud, they can audit EVERY tax return you ever filed.\nIf you owe them, you will have to pay.  Bankruptcy won't help since taxes are excluded from debts that get discharged.  Your best bet is to try to work out some payment plan that you can afford.  If they agree to it, DON'T default or they can demand the entire debt to be paid at once.  FYI, state and local taxing authorities make the IRS seem like kittens so don't mess around.

The government might have recalculated something that your software did wrong.  If you review your return and want to dispute it, you should do so [but only if you have a clean return, the IRS can go back 7 years to dig stuff up on you].

Maybe this accountant has his suspicions of why you left the other bloke and it will take time of paying him pay for service until he trusts you also your financial details may show a lack of readily available money for normal bill paying so he is making sure he gets in first good luck I'm sure your honesty will cure him

The fact that you tried to make payment arrangements but were unable to keep will not make this any easier.  I can't speak specfically for AZ.  Unless you can prove that you do not owe the tax I doubt that the levy will be removed.  You need to go back and set up new payment arrangements that you can stick to.  I understand that other things come up that sometimes make it difficult.  BTY, if your employer is responsible for the mistake is it possible for him/her to help you out with this?  Explain to the state of AZ why you could not keep the prior arrangements - you need to be completely honest on this point.

Okay - I can't really help you collect on this debt other than to document EVERYTHING - copies of all letters, dates of calls, names of who you spoke to, etc.  However, in the future, if all possible, get at least half up-front BEFORE giving your service.  Be sure all your invoices go out with "terms" clearly marked.  Perhaps offer a discount for paying within 10 days - common terms are 10%Net30 and large companies tend to take advantage of that - and you therefore get paid quicker, keeping your cash flow running smoother.  Good Luck collecting on the deadbeats!  Don't let them get away with it if you can help it.  If worse comes to worse, your accountant will be able to write it off at the end of the year.

Sorry but it is not against the law. Did you sign any paper that made it legal i.e. an i.o.u.? If you did and have chosen not to work things out with the person you owe money then they have a right to either take you to small claims court or hire a collection agency to recover their money. In either case, it would get reported to the credit bureaus. Think about it this way, if the person hadn't done that and the background check had passed then you would have never known that other people are illegally using your social security number. The person did you a favor in a weird sort of way.

7-10 years ... but this is for reported account information ... not sure what you mean by a 'lien'.  did he report that you owe him money or is he suing you for the amount?

Steal from them. (No please don't that was a joke.)  If you didn't get it in writing there is reallly nothing you can do.  Go back to JC Penny and find out if the position is still open, explain to the why you didn't take it the first time.  Hopefully they'll understand.

When was the last time you were in contact with either the collection agency or the rental company? If 4yrs has already expired, you have 3 remaining until the note is purged from your file. If you try to contact them again, the clock essentially resets and you will have to wait another 7 years. If you haven't been in touch with them, don't start now. \n\nYour other option is to work out an agreement with the collection agency. Negotiate how many cents on the dollar or the total amount due. If you luck out and they accept an amount you are able to pay off, make them put in writing that when the amount is paid they will request to clear the negative item in your credit report.

Check with your treasurer's department for your state. But there is a statute of limitations and it could have been absorbed into the state as unclaimed.

Definitely call them.  Just because it is their fault they were late processing, they will still get ya for whatever they can think of.  Just like the IRS - they will come back years later finding a mistake on your tax return and they have the Ba l l s to stick you with late fees and interest for all the time it took them to object.
