Surprise – You Have Been Audited By The IRS

One of an American citizen’s worst fears is an audit by the IRS. The unlucky individual who is the target of an audit begins to conjure up images of penalties, fines, levies, or worst of all, jail time. Even the most honest of taxpayers, under the scrutiny of an audit, begins to think back in their mind, “Did I calculate my return correctly?”, “Did I save all my receipts for the deductions I claimed?” This is a most stressful and challenging time in a taxpayer’s life. Nevertheless, before one loses sleep over the impending audit, there is a law which protects Americans in an IRS audit situation.

To be more specific, in 1998 the IRS passed the third installment of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TaBOR). The bill was passed as a byproduct of numerous complaints to Congress concerning the abusive behavior by IRS auditors. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights also requires the IRS to inform a taxpayer of his rights and what effect of the tax action the IRS is pursuing. The audit itself is traditionally thought as a meeting between an agent of the IRS and the taxpayer. However a good percentage of tax audits come in the form of a letter asking for clarification or substantiation of items on the tax return. Careful and organized record keeping usually make these types of audits resolve rather smoothly.

The IRS may choose to audit a portion of the filed return, or on some occasions an agent may request a closer examination of the entire return. If the auditor merely asks for documentation for a specific part of your return, it would be a good idea to give the auditor only that piece of information that is requested. Bringing additional documentation or information not requested could subject the taxpayer to wider scope audit, that is if something else on the return looks irregular. In other words, only bring what is requested. Do not volunteer any information to the tax auditor, and answer their questions with simple, direct answers.

Since most people are not experts at tax law, it is highly recommended that a CPA, tax lawyer, or tax advisor represent them in a meeting with the IRS. Contact the person who prepared the return. They will have specific advice on how to prepare for the audit. In most cases they can attend the audit in place of you to gather information from the field agent. This puts the taxpayer at an advantage and may buy valuable time to prepare the necessary documentation.

The audit will conclude with the IRS agent citing any irregularities noted with the return. They will then formally notify the taxpayer of any monetary adjustments that need to be made. In some cases some lucky citizens have received additional refunds after an audit. Unfortunately, in most cases, the IRS will be asking for a check. An agent’s decision can be appealed to a supervisor, or the Appeals Division of the IRS. If the Appeals Division decision is still unsatisfactory, a final appeal can be made to the US Tax Court.

Internet Marketing for New Businesses

Thinking of marketing your business on the internet? When you first put your business on the internet the biggest hurdle you will need to overcome is trying to promote it among all the other competitors on the web. Internet marketing for beginners is not that hard if you know what to do.

The most important step is to educate yourself about your business. Make yourself an expert in your field and you will be able to provide value to your web visitors regardless of the format.

3 Simple Internet Marketing Methods for Beginners:

1. Blogging: This is the simplest form of marketing and is good for people new to marketing on the internet. Remember to target your blog content to the customers you are trying to reach. You can use this form of marketing to initially bring visitors to your website. At first it may seem like there is very little traffic, but this form of marketing will build up a good steady stream of targeted visitors over time. The key is to provide value to your readers in your blog content which will make them be interested in seeing what is on your business site.

2. Article distribution: This is a great way to funnel qualified visitors to your site. By “qualified” I mean these are people who have read your article and are already interested, or pre-qualified in what you’re saying or the product you’re selling. The key to success is to write, or have written, some quality articles on different aspects of your business using good keywords that potential customers would use to find your product or service.

Another thing to bear in mind is to use the article directories, as they will provide you high converting visitors to your site. Again, these are potential customers searching for what you are offering. Article directories will also give you back links, which will help you to improve your search engine rankings.

3. Free newsletter: This is one of the best ways to build your business. Visitors can sign up at your website and join your opt-in list to receive your free newsletter. You can then use the opt-in list to send emails marketing special deals or new products. You can also put special deals in your newsletter. With a newsletter you will be able to build up a strong business relationship with your subscribers and over time they will become your customers.

Yes, these things take a little time … but they are doable. If you have a business and don’t have a business website, you’re missing a ton of potential customers. So get started!
