Letter To TaxConnections Begs For Help From National Taxpayer Advocate Or Tax Professionals

Tax Question - Taxpayer Needs Help From Taxpayer Advocate

TaxConnections Offline Message Left on 16 Oct 2018, 05:47 PM 

To whom it may concern,

I am sending this letter because I was not informed by the IRS about the wages on my 1040 that did not match the information reported to the IRS back in March of 2018. There was never a letter sent to me about this matter.The only thing I received was a letter stating my identity was being checked for fraud and I had to send information pertaining my identity. I did that and still never heard anything back. According to https://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/reports/fy-2018-objectives-report-to-congress/news-release National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson praises the IRS for running a generally successful filing season, including reducing the incidence of identity theft, implementing new accelerated Form W 2 reporting requirements, and matching Forms W 2 against tax returns claiming refunds. Ms. Olson says taxpayers who require assistance from the IRS are continuing to face significant challenges obtaining it. I am one of these people and my rights have been violated in the: #1 TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS.

Tax Professionals – Question Of The Week

Each week TaxConnections posts a question from one of our visitors. We encourage our members to provide their insight and comments:
Canadian resident looking to enter into some sort of partnership with US citizen (LLC or similar). What is the best arrangement? I’ve read on this forum that as Canadian citizen, owning part of a US LLC may not be the best. If we want to share equity and management of the entity, what is best? Is LLP a better option, or some other? Many thanks.

Is future income from a promissory note all taxable in the year the note was issued?

When we sold our business we signed a promissory note with the buyers for a portion of the purchase price with a 15 year payback at 6% interest. Our accountant told us that we must pay taxes on the full amount of the note even though we will receive the income over 15 years. Seems unfair to have taxation BEFORE compensation. Is this right?

Tax Advisor’s – Your Thoughts On This Question Of The Week?

Do US citizens with U.K. personal pensions have to pay tax on the 25% portion that is not taxable in the U.K? The tax treaty suggests two different outcomes. Article 17.2 – yes and article 17.1 a and b – No.

I have seen some are now suggesting as these are periodic payments rather than the US definition of a lump sum then the relevant article is 17 1b and the US savings clause does also not apply and these payments are not taxable.
