Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2014 -- When a taxpayer finds out that he is facing tax debt issues, he may instantly feel overwhelmed. Undergoing through these issues is very stressful, when the debts are piled and may seem like it's impossible to pay. There are instances that a taxpayer loses all his assets just to pay the declared amount he owed, in worst cases, loses his sanity. One cannot simply escape his tax debt issues with the IRS. The IRS will do whatever it takes to get what they are owed.

Dealing with the IRS alone can be so confusing and nerve-racking. A taxpayer may not deeply comprehend the intricacies of his tax issues, with the aid of an Arizona tax attorney this can all be cleared enabling the taxpayer to fully understand the predicament he is in. Employing a tax attorney eliminates the need for the tax payer to face the IRS all by himself and the emotional stress that comes with it and more likely than not, the tax attorney will take over all direct contact with the IRS giving the taxpayer the time for him to still make a living. For the tax debt resolution to be successful, the taxpayer should provide all the necessary information. Afterwards, the attorney will then contact the IRS to verify the information. If ever it is proven that there has been some discrepancies, and it is proven that the taxpayer really owe the declared amount, the attorney will find a way to reduce or eliminate the fees and penalties.

No one wants his life to be ruined by tax debt, especially when there's help available – the help from a tax debt attorney. An Arizona debt attorney can work out a way to settle the issue with the IRS and come up with a payment plan that's convenient to the taxpayer for him to fulfill his obligation.

Bankruptcy filing is often perceived as an easy way out to escape debt. While it is true that it will eliminate one’s debt, U.S. residents may find that what they get in return may be more than they bargained for, credits to legal changes enacted in 2005.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2014 -- Bankruptcy filing is often perceived as an easy way out to escape debt. While it is true that it will eliminate one's debt, U.S. residents may find that what they get in return may be more than they bargained for, credits to legal changes enacted in 2005. In connection to this, Arizona bankruptcy attorney releases some useful tips to avoid all these hassles and advises the public to do everything they can to avoid the filing for bankruptcy.

According to an Arizona bankruptcy attorney, filing for bankruptcy is a direct result of bad spending habits tied with poor saving habits. Bankruptcy is an indication that it is time for a lifestyle change, this can be easily remedied if one will follow these tips:

Cut Spending

This first step of that change is to find out the monthly expenses, these should not exceed the family's monthly income. Coming up with a budget is the quickest and easiest way to get a handle on the family's spending habits. Identify the needs from the wants. At the small end of the spectrum, one must abolish all expenses beyond the absolute basics of food, clothing, shelter and transportation to and from work.

Maximize Income

If at risk of bankruptcy, the best way to maximize income is to get a job. If one already has a job, get a second job. If working on two jobs still doesn't fill the family's needs, get a third job. This can also be applied to each member of the family capable of working. One's efforts to make more money can also involve selling some of the stuff he purchased during his free-spending days.

Seek Professional Help

Some bankruptcy attorneys and law firms are too aggressive in getting their clients. Their common sales pitch is "pay me a fee to help you escape your debts", those who are desperate for quick fix easily fall for this. Prior to taking this course, consider that the simplest, and perhaps most useful, counseling that one can get is the suggestion to close his wallet and curb his expenses.

Lifestyle Change Should be Permanent

The world is full of serial bankruptcy filers who use recovery from bankruptcy as an excuse to spend again. It's not healthy to follow this example; once fully recovered, it is advised to build up an emergency fund to assure that one will not find himself filing for bankruptcy again.

The Arizona bankruptcy attorney also enumerates the consequences of declaring bankruptcy. The new bankruptcy laws in the U.S. may require those filing for bankruptcy to:

-Attend mandatory credit counseling.
-Make ongoing payments to creditors.
-Attend mandatory financial-management education.

Filers will also end up having a bad credit rating, taking away one's ability to loan money at standard rates for up to 10 years. This may result to a bigger debt for the loans that one can get will come from the ones with high interest rates.

If one is serious and determined about getting his finances on the right track, he needs to get out of debt and stay out of it for good. For former overspenders willing to start exercising a lot of discipline, it is possible to avoid bankruptcy and all the additional problems that come with it.

These are just few of the reasons why you should hire a Tax Attorney whenever the thought of having the IRS haunt you comes in mind. But of course, you have to make sure that the Attorney you will hire is one with an advance law degree in taxation, well-experience when it comes to tax specialties and has license to practice in the state where you are located.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/02/2014 -- "Make sure you pay your taxes; otherwise you can get in a lot of trouble."–Richard M. Nixon

These words quipped by former President Richard Nixon is inevitably true. Tax and taxation is with us all the time. Although we do not think about it consciously, there is a huge representation of tax in everything we see and do every day. When we wake up in the morning to go to work or run a business, there is tax. When we run an errand, say to buy groceries, there is tax. Tax is inevitable and we must face the fact that no matter what we do, like our DNA, it will always be a part of us.

Most often than not, we do not consider hiring a Tax Attorney if we experience trouble with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), especially when we think that the problem is still under our control. When you receive a notice from the IRS that you owe a huge sum of money to the Federal Government, it is best to consider some helpful options. The best option is to look into the details of the problem first to be able to see better solutions. It is also considerable to seek for the help of a Tax Attorney in order to avoid future tax audits. Tax Attorneys are also there to aid in the horrendous and technical process of handling your tax returns. If IRS is investigating you or if you are planning to sue them for grave errors on your income tax return, it is always best to be represented by a Tax Attorney.

There are numerous reasons why it is important to hire a Tax Attorney.

1. Eases the burden and lessens the stress with dealing with the IRS: We all know how complicated the Federal Tax Code is and how much time and energy we exert just to comply with it. Knowing that you will have a good representation against the IRS lessens the burden, let alone the thought of dealing with them.

2. Tax Attorneys provides qualified legal counsel: Dealing with the IRS is a burdening process especially for those who are not knowledgeable and aware of the process. There might be some dealings and terms that a common person would not understand which can be properly explained by a qualified Tax Attorney. They can simplify a complicated legal jargon for the sake of their clients. In most situations, an experienced Tax Attorney can foretell the next steps of the IRS which will be more beneficial for their clients. They are also aware of the forms and the information needed to be placed on each IRS form during an audit. And more importantly, a Tax Attorney is aware and updated on the changing taxation laws and procedures.

3. They are practiced and proficient at negotiations: Aside from providing legal representation, a Tax Attorney can also carry out numerous negotiations with the IRS. If you need to file a lawsuit against the IRS for any reason, a Tax Attorney can help.

4. Tax Attorneys can help in financial planning and business strategy: Even if you do not have a case against the IRS, needing help in financial planning also requires help from a Tax Attorney. They can aid in planning taxes and finances appropriately and may also assist in your business planning and financial strategies.

These are just few of the reasons why you should hire a Tax Attorney whenever the thought of having the IRS haunt you comes in mind. But of course, you have to make sure that the Attorney you will hire is one with an advance law degree in taxation, well-experience when it comes to tax specialties and has license to practice in the state where you are located.

After finding and hiring a good Tax Attorney, you will be certain that dealing with tax and the IRS is not that that unbearable after all.

Signing up for a reality TV show makeover does not spell success all the time. This for sure is the lesson that Rocky Point Cantina in Tempe, Arizona learned.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2014 -- Rocky Point Cantina, a bar in Tempe, Arizona being owned by Francis Massimiano that was featured in a reality makeover has recently filed for bankruptcy.

According to reports, the business was on its rough times when Massimiano acquiesced to come out in Bar Rescue, a reality show of Spike TV which offers professional expertise, renovations and equipment to desperately failing bars to save them from closing. The show doesn't charge the makeover that they offer to selected bars. Massimiano said that the offer of Bar Rescue was enticing and the entire plan for the new image was sound and that made him say yes. He didn't know that this move would force him to file for bankruptcy.

So what was wrong with the total makeover?

Proper permitting was the culprit. The show, being overly confident that they know what they were doing, made all-encompassing modifications in the menu, the business got a new name, and most of the building was repainted. This repainting was actually the trigger for the enforcement office of the city code to investigate. The inspectors said that the number of improvement in the building including the firepit on the roof installation were done without securing proper permits.

Two months after the team of Jon Taffer (host of Bar Rescue) left Tempe, Massimiano was forced to file for bankruptcy. Hundreds of thousands of dollars would be needed for repairing the building in order to bring it back to code.

Lesson Learned

Bar Rescue might be an expert in night clubs and pubs businesses. But the Rocky Point Cantina experience must be a lesson learned for both Spike TV's Bar Rescue team and business owner Massimiano. Had proper permitting was made, Rocky Point Cantina would still be in business.

Same Story

This is not the first time a bar filed for bankruptcy after Bar Rescue injected a makeover. In Scottsdale, Arizona, comedy venue Stand Up Scottsdale received a makeover from Bar Rescue only to find themselves sharing the same perils with that of Rocky Point Cantina. The reason? Same issue with securing proper permits. According to reports by AZ Central, "Changes to the venue included a new exterior paint job and marquee but both, it turned out, were against Scottsdale city code and done without proper permit approval."

Wrong Practice

According to the Code Compliance Administrator for Tempe, Bar Rescue was making changes to the exterior of the buildings without securing proper approval from the city. Elevation changes and paint jobs are being made and other considerations like building code and safety code are not being followed.

Right Thing To Do

In resuscitating flat-lining bars or any business, it is imperative for the management of any reality TV show and business owners alike to properly review the requirements of any city or state prior to finalizing changes. And push comes to shove, it is equally important to have a reliable Tempe Bankruptcy Attorney that would better assist any business owner in times of a business downhill.

Gilbert Hospital, one of the most profitable hospitals in the US before, has recently filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy reorganization.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2014 -- Loss of financing, alterations in management, competition from other nearby hospitals, and discouragement from patients due to construction near the hospital – these are all potential factors why one of the most profitable hospitals in the United States and has served as a model hospital when it comes to emergency-room centers, recently filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy reorganization.

Gilbert Hospital's Bankruptcy Attorney Pernell McGuire revealed that the most critical reason for the filing of the bankruptcy was due to loss of available cash to pay day-to-day operating expenses of the hospital. Stillwater Bank, its lender, was forced to seize around $1.1 million from the hospital which was then led to the loss of cash. Gilber Hospital's estimated total liabilities range from $1 million to $10 million. Their assets only amount to less than $50,000.

It should be noted as well that in 2013, the investors of Gilbert Hospital resolved a Maricopa County Superior Court lawsuit. In the said lawsuit, Dr. Timothy Johns, founder of Gilbert Hospital was accused of redirecting funds to Florence Hospital (Anthem in Pinal County) and Peoria Regional Medical Center. Dr. Johns is appointed as one of the hospital's Oversight Committee. In addition to this, there are other two hospitals that were launched by Dr. Johns that had gone through financial difficulties.

It was also last year when Florence Hospital filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy while Peoria Regional Medical Center's construction was not completed due to lack of funding.

Dr. Johns' goal is to have a stand-along hospital emergency room guaranteeing patients would be able to receive medical attention from a doctor within 30 minutes of arrival. There were several doctors who invested $60,000 each and Gilbert Hospital was launched in 2006 with 100 employees. Gaining a hospital-leadership position in Chandler Regional Medical Center in Arizona, Dr. Johns projected that Gilbert Hospital that the hospital would have around 24 patients each day. But eventually, and even during its launch, the real numbers went beyond the projection as there were three times the volume of patients who sought emergency care from the hospital – making it one of the most money-making hospitals in the US. In 2011, Gilbert Hospital had a total of $20 million in cash. This was then used by Dr. Johns for founding credit lines for Florence and Peoria hospitals. But it was due to financial mismanagement which led to the draining of funds.

Keith Hendricks, attorney of Dr. Johns stated that alll the diversion of funds from Gilbert Hospital to Florence and Peoria hospitals were all reflected in Gilbert Hospital's audited financial statements.

Beneficiaries of the property registered under Bakeland Property Ltd. which is owned by former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher are still unknown. But what is clearly known is that Thatcher’s children are free from paying millions in inheritance tax because the said property where Thatcher saw out her days is listed as owned by an anonymous trust which is believed to be a notorious tax haven.

Queen Creek, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2014 -- Former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's children will be free from being charged millions in inheritance tax according to the International Business Times reports. Thanks to the registration of their mother's house in Belgravia, London. It's registration to an offshore account was their saving grace.

Margaret Thatcher died in April this year and left £4.7 million to her family in will. Her children Mark and Carol were left a third each of the inheritance, with the rest being shared among the grandchildren once they reach the age of 25. In Thatcher's will, she did not mention the house in Chester Square which has a current value of £12.5 million by Zoopla. According to a press release by the Mirror, "the £12million Central London mansion where the Iron Lady spent the last years of her life is owned by an anonymous trust registered in the British Virgin Islands – a ¬notorious tax haven".

The UK law states that people who inherit a property need to pay an inheritance tax of 40% of the property's value (or up to £5 million) if the property is registered under the name of a UK resident. Thatcher's property was purchased by a Jersey-based company Bakeland Property Ltd. in 1991. It was then sub-leased to a company of the same identity listed in the British Virgin Isles which is also an offshore tax sanctuary.

Tax Justice Network's John Christensen commented that massive financial advantages for an offshore organization to possess a property or leasehold specifically when it comes to stamp duty and inheritance tax.

Richard Murphy, spokesperson of Tax Research UK said that "It has always been strange that Margaret Thatcher, that most British of PMs, enjoyed the benefits of a property registered in the BVI. It is possible that Denis Thatcher set up the trust or other offshore arrangements in order to save tax". It can be noted that in 1979, one of the highlights of Thatcher's leadership was to obliterate government controls on the value of money that can be shifted abroad that would be influential to the increase of offshore tax refuges.

Hugh Thurston and Leonard Day, Thatcher's friends and financial advisers are believed to hold the shares of Bakeland Property Ltd., while accountants claim that they were acting as candidates for a trust with unrevealed recipients.

Up until this date, the beneficiaries of Bakeland are still unknown. And Thatcher's financial advisors refuse to explain why the former UK Prime Minister chose not to appear to own her own house.

Whether one owns a startup business or a seasoned business, chances are, at some point in time, one will be in need of a business lawyer to deal with legal problems. That being said, it is vital for every business, big or small to establish an ongoing relationship with a reliable corporate lawyer.

Queen Creek, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2014 -- Business owners, especially those who own small ones are optimistic this year that this year will be the year for growth. This is according RocketLawyer's most recent survey that involves 1,000 business owners across the United States. The survey showed that more than half of the recipients experienced growth last year some even stated that the growth exceeded what they expected. This year, an overwhelming 80% of these entrepreneurs expect this year to be even better.

Despite economic concerns – cash-strapped customers, limited loans, healthcare woes and a government shutdown, these entrepreneurs remain positive and emphasized that marketing and branding this year will make the growth they aim for come to reality. Over 40% of the respondents stated that it's their top priority this year, developing new products and service, hiring or international expansion are way too far behind at 13%, 6% and 2% respectively.

If by chance, these business owners marketing efforts paid off and their business did grow, it is advised to seek and focus on the business' legal protection. More than half of the respondents in RocketLawyer's survey, the ones that achieved growth, stated that they consulted with a business lawyer.

It will be healthy to do a research prior to hiring a business lawyer, then narrowing down the options to the business' specific problems and needs.

Basically, there are two types of business lawyers, one that handles law suits, the business litigators and the ones that handle contracts and corporate matters, the transactional lawyers. Some lawyers do both, some specialize on just one field. Often times, transactional lawyers are the best options, however if one is involved in a lawsuit, seek for a business litigator.

One's business will be around for a while, that's a fact. It is advised to seek and hire a lawyer or law firm with the proficiency to cover the business' anticipated needs. It is not a bad idea to look for a full service firm that does both litigation and transactional work; in fact this lessens the stress and hassle.

It is also wise to scrutinize if the lawyer is connected with a finance – or business related organizations. Having a lawyer who has an involvement in a state or local chamber of commerce or other related local organizations is an edge, depending on the business' legal needs.

If one is looking for a business attorney in Arizona, Nielsen Law Group is the best option. Their lawyers can handle any legal issues that have to do with corporate laws and provide speedy resolutions to their clients. They expound the whole process in layman's term without confusing or overwhelming their clients.

It hurts when you lose a home you have been living for almost the rest of your life. Many houses tend to lose their value as time passes by.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/29/2014 -- Homeowners find they owe so much to the bank compared to the real amount they owe before they acquire the property. Short Sale is the homeowner's chance to at least ease from the burden. Short Sale is not easy though. There are a lot of laws, rules and regulations one must know before entering into Short-Selling. Here are some helpful tips of things to do and not to do when entering into a Short Sale deal from a National Real Estate Expert and author of Next Generation Real Estate, Brendon DeSimone:

Do: Ask Questions!

In any negotiations and dealings, it is a number one rule to ask questions. The first question to ask is, "What is a short sale?" Short Sale is selling your home at a price that is less compared to the combined amount required to pay off any loans which causes difficulties for the property to be sold at a higher price, plus the costs of the overall transaction. Thus, a short sale will not guarantee that a seller will be able to recover all the costs spend on the property as well as all the legal transactions it entailed. Once this question had been answered and the process is clear, you may now start to engage in short-selling your property.

Do: Protect Yourself as a Seller!

As the seller, protecting yourself is very vital once you entered a Short Sale. Since selling your home at a short-sale doesn't guarantee that it will pay off everything that you owe from your lender. However, the sale can reduce the amount that you still owe to your lender. This is what short-sale is all about. Always stay in contact with your lender and realtor to make sure that you are informed. This is a huge help in protecting yourself and your family while you engage in Short Sale.

Don't: Lose the Sale Due to Your Own Laziness!

Sometimes failure of Short Sales comes as a result of the homeowner's laziness. Homeowners who are engaged in short sale should not stop responding to their agents. They must be quick in responding to inquiries, replying to e-mails and returning phone calls. Be active in making the property look clean, inviting and welcoming to continue attracting buyers. One must be active and attentive to ensure they get more potential buyers.

Do: Get a Good Short Sale Attorney!

A real-estate agent won't be able to answer any Legal questions a homeowner has when engaged in a short-sale. Thus, it is imperative for a homeowner to hire a Short Sale Attorney to help out in the Legal Process. Here are some good reasons why a lawyer is needed to negotiate on short sale: Release of Personal Liability, Asset Protection and Peace of Mind. In the state of Arizona for instance there is one Law Firm which specializes in Short Sale, Nielsen Law Group. They have the best Arizona Short Sale Attorneys who can aid any homeowners in the process of Short Sale.

With all these in mind, the pain of losing a home might not be that hurtful after all. Once it's all done, you may have a chance to find a Short Sale Home you might call your own!

Before any lender could start a court case to repossess a property, it is important that borrowers talk to their lenders first and negotiate an arrangement.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2014 -- It's a reality that in this lifetime, mortgages are the most significant investment. The same reason why people in debt who are already on the brink of losing their properties, most of the time, are unwilling to admit that they are already struggling to pay for their mortgages instead of being realistic and seek the help of a legal attorney at the earlier stages of their ordeal.

According to BBC's reports, there is approximately 40% of homeowners who are having difficulties paying their mortgages out of the 13,659 reported complaints on mortgages and secured loans. Council of Mortgage Lenders released a report that only 138,200 mortgages had arrears of more than 2.5% of the outstanding balance for the first quarter of 2014. This is considered as the lowest performance for the past six years.

The problem with the borrowers, according to the Financial Ombudsman, is that borrowers seek help about their debts on the latter stage rather than ask for debt arrangements before things get worse.

The Root of the Matter

The financial crisis was a huge contributor in this mortgage repayment problem. This current issue on mortgage repayment forced lenders to tighten their rules. A full check on an applicant's affordability started last month and it has a huge impact into a number of applicants.

In the past, buyers were able to loan for the full amount of their mortgages. Interests are being paid after paying for the loan. But due to the financial crisis, with people losing their jobs and were forced to reduce their work hours, a lot were trapped in negative equity. During the glory days, buyers simply tell their lenders that they can re-pay their debts and that's it. Now, a lender who can offer an interest rate lower than 4% has to go through the ordeal of deciphering if an applicant can regularly pay the loan if say for example, interest rate would climb to 7%.

Coping Up With Mortgage Repayment Problems

Before any lender could start a court case to repossess a property, it is important that borrowers talk to them first and negotiate an arrangement. Lenders, on the other hand, can come up with a number of creative ways on how to make sure their borrowers are on track with their repayment schedules. In cases that the arrangement to pay the arrears have broken down and another legal action to repossess the property is on its way, the borrower can still try another arrangement with the lender.

Seeking for legal help is the best weapon to combat court actions on mortgage repossession. It is imperative to have a legal representation if the arrangement with the lender about the amount of the arrears is something that is not affordable for the borrower. One should always be eligible to ask for help with legal costs both for advice before any court hearing. Representation at the court hearing if one has a solicitor is very important.

Every business big or small has its ups and downs. The worst part is that when the business hits rock bottom and can no longer recover. That’s it, the business is done. The business can no longer generate enough funds to pay the debts. Broke. Needless to say, it is now time to consider bankruptcy.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2014 -- It really is a hassle receiving bills from debts that doesn't seem to end. The bankruptcy process however may present difficulties whether for a personal application or on behalf of an individual or a private entity. Filing a bankruptcy is a tricky process and this may get even more complicated if you one fails to seek legal advice. Anyone going through this would end up paying a larger amount when a mistake is committed in doing the process, this amount may be larger than what one originally owes.

Don't hesitate to call a bankruptcy attorney when caught in this predicament. But who is the best one for this? The ones advertised in radio and TV? Print ads? Or perhaps the one who can be discretely search donline? None of these is a bad choice. Practically, bankruptcy attorneys in Arizona are easy to find, choosing the "one" all comes down to the lawyer's competitiveness and professionalism.

Expounded below are the qualities that a bankruptcy attorney should possess.

Personality, competitiveness and professionalism matter. And – just like anybody else – a lawyer who is well established and has lots of exposure on ads may fall short in person. Nothing speaks the lawyer's credibility louder than his portfolio and track record.

Logical thinking is what a bankruptcy attorney should also possess. A complete cancellation of eligible debts (Chapter 7) is not always a good resort to deal with the financial difficulties. If there are other options, an ethical lawyer will present and discuss this in detail. The lawyer may present a court-supervised arrangement on paying debts (Chapter 13) if the client has a sufficient income to cover the liabilities. Upon hearing and understanding the options that have been laid out in the table, it is now time to choose which way to proceed. This prevents the client from regretting the decision to file bankruptcy.

The lawyer should be passionate about the craft and the whole process. It takes passion and years of experience to be well versed in bankruptcy law. It's not bad to ask why they are on this field. Lawyers do know for a fact that answering this question helps a client decide on why they should be chosen.

A lawyer should be open-minded and is a good listener. Without a doubt, declaring bankruptcy is a hard and painful decision to make for sometimes, this involves heavy emotions. The bankruptcy lawyer needs to understand the client's situation and not be arrogant about it just because he has the credentials to back it up. He needs to show empathy and interest on the concerns of the client and ask probing questions that are sometimes difficult for him to understand the situation in depth.

Lastly, the lawyer's fee should commensurate the service he delivered. Not because they help clients not to pay the creditor doesn't mean their service is free. The price depends on the complexity of the case and the location where the client resides. In general, the price ranges from $800 to $2500 and this covers the whole process. The bankruptcy attorney should make it a point that he justifies the cost that he will charge his client for him to establish customer loyalty and referrals.

Once a good bankruptcy attorney with the ideal mix of the above character, experience and cost has been identified, one is all set. Clients would be at ease and chances are, they will win the case. They will be back on track in no time

Uninformed debtors can face bankruptcy fraud without intending to. Here are some tips to avoid being indicted for fraud and to ensure adherence to the law.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/30/2014 -- Bankruptcy fraud is a white-collar crime that has serious legal consequences such as fines of up to $250,000 or up to five years in prison, or both. Thomas H. Allen, an Arizona bankruptcy attorney is defending one of his clients, John K. Hoover with wife Deborah and son John Brandon against bankruptcy fraud and has been indicted Friday, April 25th 2014. The case is still ongoing.

Though some do it on purpose, unaware debtors commit bankruptcy fraud without even realizing it. Whene considering filing for bankruptcy, it is important to be educated on how to avoid fraud to avoid legal trouble.

Seek for a Professional Help. Hiring a licensed bankruptcy attorney can help with bankruptcy paperwork. It is important to make sure that no fraud will be committed even by accident. Though bankruptcy can be filed even without an attorney, a lawyer is still a necessity if the case is complicated.

Tell All, Bare All. Disclosing all assets is imperative. Failing to list all can result to the dismissal of the bankruptcy case. In addition to fraud, perjury can also be charged if the judge concludes that assets were purposely hidden. Under oath, people should be careful in whatever they declare.

Ward Off Scam Artists. Never trust any individual or organization that promises to save from foreclosure. The trick is letting the debtors sign documents that allow con artists to file bankruptcy under the debtor's name for a monthly fee. Once the bankruptcy case is active, the creditor's stop calling, making the debtor's believe that the debts are being paid off by the scam artist's company. Goodwill is very hard to find nowadays, so be careful.

File for Bankruptcy Only in One State. It is a characteristic of bankruptcy fraud to be filed multiple times in different places. So even if one lives and works in two different places or own a real estate in more than one state, filing bankruptcy in more than one state is considered fraudulent.

Hands Off to Credit Cards. Stop making credit card purchases upon filing for bankruptcy. Creditors have the right to dispute any credit card debt one had, 90 days prior to filing bankruptcy. Having credit ard purchases with the intention of having all the debt wiped clean by filing bankruptcy is a fraudulent behavior. Keep in mind that everyone is guarded by the federal law. It should not be abused.

Bankruptcy is a heavy blow to anyone in the business world. But it sure is worse to have the court summon anyone for a bankruptcy fraud.

President Obama proposes Budget plan with tax reform to be used in creating jobs and infrastructure.

Chandler, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/06/2014 -- Tuesday, March 5, 2014, The President delivers remarks on the 2015 Budget Plan in Powell Elementary School in Washington D.C. The new budget plan embarks on job creation, job training and education through Tax Reforms.

"Last summer, I offered a proposal to couple business tax reform with critical investments in infrastructure. This Budget includes that proposal, using the transition revenue that will result from a shift to a simpler, more efficient tax code to create jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges and unclogging our commutes and transporting goods made in America—because in today's global economy, first-class jobs gravitate to first-class infrastructure," says the President.

This is further discussed in the Department of Treasury funding initiative and reform. It proposes a multi-year program integrity cap adjustment for the IRS, including $480 million in 2015, to deliver additional resources to critical tax enforcement and compliance functions that reduce the deficit and narrow the tax gap by nearly $6 for every $1 spent once fully implemented, with total savings of $35 billion over the next 10 years.

What does this imply?

With the new tax reforms, it is expected that efficient Tax audits will be enforced on all business across the country. Many suggest that structural changes will greatly affect the wealthier citizens to help the poor. In effect, threat of a tax audit is on the rise more than ever.

According to recent data, Taxpayers earning below $200,000 filed more than 136 million returns. Most of which were subjected to an actual audit with an auditor. About 1,076,221 have received correspondence that request for verification of items and returns. In total, 1.01% was subjected to correspondence audits.

In addition, one in every eight taxpayers was being audited. Those who have earnings of more than $200,000 are likely to be audited than others.

Survival Steps

There are ways on how to survive tax audits. Hire a tax professional, plan taxes and keep books for three years. In most cases, tax audits happen when there is an error on returns. Most were math mistakes and mismatched interest and dividend reporting which can easily be corrected by a tax professional. A tax professional can also overlook your tax deductions and recognize red flags for full audits. IRS does audit from 18 months up to three years so it is safer if records are being kept up to 36 months.

Though there isn't a given formula on tax audits, the bigger you make, the more likely you will be audited. Hence, taxpayers have to be more careful and minimize exposure on returns.
