Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of people more than receiving an IRS or Wisconsin Department of Revenue Audit letter in the mail. Audits take significant time away from your business and family, requiring you to gather mounds of records substantiating each and every item reported on your tax return and develop a comprehensive understanding of tax law.

The IRS or Wisconsin Department of Revenue leaves no stone unturned in its mission to determine the accuracy of your tax return. If you do not comply with the Auditors’ wishes, they will recalculate your tax and send you home with a hefty tax bill as your parting gift.

Many taxpayers decide to handle a tax audit themselves, and discover they may have been “penny wise,” avoiding a representative’s fee, but “pound foolish,” because they received a substantial bill for a significant tax deficiency.

You see, Auditors are trained to extract more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. Auditors know that most people fear them and are ignorant of their rights. As a result, they know they can use that fear and ignorance to their advantage.

Rarely do our clients even have to talk with the IRS or Wisconsin Department of Revenue. We handle it all for you so that you need not take time off of your business or job to handle the bureaucracy and paperwork of the IRS. No lost wages or business. You simply forward notification of an audit to us and we handle it from A to Z.

Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government’s General Accounting Office recently, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer. Whether we like it or not, today’s tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program there’s no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.

Tax Audits can be time consuming and expensive. JBC can provide representation to limit the amount of time needed to complete the tax audit and can also help mitigate any additional tax liability that may arise from the audit.

A divorcing couple will be faced with many important decisions and issues ranging from the type of divorce action to pursue, the timing of it, and, of course, a fair division of property and possibly payment of alimony and child support by one spouse. You should be aware that in looking at a potential property settlement or cash payments, it is important to consider the impact of taxes. They can greatly affect alimony, child support, property settlements, distributions of retirement benefits and other items that you may be addressing in your divorce or separation agreement. Finally, special considerations come into play when there are company pension and profit-sharing benefits, Keogh plan benefits, and/or IRAs to split up. Complications and tax traps can also occur when a jointly-owned business will be transferred to one spouse in connection with a divorce.

As you can see, taxes can and do play a very important role in shaping a divorce agreement. We would be happy to explore any of the above items in greater detail with you.

Proper pre-bankruptcy planning is key to determining if bankruptcy is or can be a viable solution.
