Help with I.R.S. or State Tax Problems

THE FOLLOWING INCIDENTS ARE TRUE:

#1. An aging couple’s assets were being attached by the I.R.S. because of income the IRS said they didn’t disclose. I had hearings with the IRS and State of Utah, showed that the undisclosed income was a business loss and saved their assets.

#2. A middle aged couple owned a corporation and several homes. Family and friends had invested in the company. They were in litigation regarding the investments. No personal or business tax return had been completed for 2 years. I prepared the returns, showed the investors how to regain most of their investment through tax strategies and helped the couple qualify for over $8,000 in tax refunds.

#3. I am a sports official for high school and college. One of my colleagues took his taxes to a well-known tax preparation company. They determined he owed $3,000. He lives on social security. The assignor asked for help. He formed a hobby business and ended up owing nothing.

#4. A trucker lost his business and was in the middle of bankruptcy. I worked with his attorneys, the Internal Revenue Service and the State Tax Commission to prepare his past years taxes and prepare the necessary information for those agencies and his attorneys.

#5. A young couple had purchased some rental homes. When the market turned he found himself with potential unwanted liability. I helped him and his professionals to form a family trust and a limited liability company. We then sold the properties to his companies and transfered his personal assets to his family trust. He and his wife and child had also received an inheritance from his wife's mother in the form of stocks and bonds. I prepared tax returns for him, his wife and child and his deceased mother-in-law's estate. He was able to protect his assets and all parties, except the estate, was able to receive a tax return.

I am considered a Tax Professional by the Internal Revenue Service. I have represented several clients in front of the I.R.S. I also have represented clients in State Tax Court. The I.R.S. has issued me a TPIN and CAF just for this purpose.

I have been a Tax Accountant since 1985 and have been meticulous in my preparation of tax returns. I believe I have a good understanding of the red flags which may trigger an audit. For that reason and because of my strict adherence to standards and regulations, none of my clients have been audited, except for those being audited or considered to be in violation of tax laws prior to becoming my client. Normally these are folks who have self-prepared their tax returns, no having the benefit of professional help.

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A TOUGH TAX SITUATION OR ANTICIPATE A FUTURE LIABILITY AND FEEL INSECURE, I CAN HELP. WHAT I DON'T DO I HAVE A TEAM OF EXPERTS READY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS - AND WE CAN DO SO AT A COST MUCH SMALLER THAN YOU MAY THINK. THE INITIAL CONFERENCE COSTS NOTHING. CALL ME TODAY!

Sports Participation

I enjoy sports and have for as long as I can remember. From the time I was a young boy I went Deer Hunting and Fishing with my family. I took Hunter Safety when I lived in Utah. When in Idaho I went fishing often with my grandfather to Cassia Creek in Elba, Idaho.

When in elementary school I played sand lot baseball. We also played a type of catch. Some one would hit the ball and the person catching the ball would be awarded points for the type of catch. When a certain point level was reached, that person would then hit the ball.

I never participated in any team sports until I was in Utah. I was always small but played church basketball. I always wanted to learn how to play, but had to learn by playing. Back then, no one really would take the time to teach young people how to play. There was no little league or Jr. Jazz basketball.

When I was a sophomore I started wrestling. I then I developed appendicitis and had to quit the team that year. I wrestled again during my Junior year and earned enough points to be awarded a varsity letter, but never received it.

When I moved to Idaho I joined the wrestling team. It was a successful season and I earned my Varsity letter. When I was in the Marine Corps I wrestled for the Marines and I played volleyball. I was told these were college level games, the same as if I participated for a college.

I never participated in sports again until after I was married. I played basketball with the church teams, again. But, in 1987 I began my officiating career. I was encouraged by a slow pitch official, David Bluemell, to begin officiating slow pitch. This was done while I was a player for a church softball team. I was the pitcher and played 2nd base and did well. That same year I was the coach for the men's team. I had coached a young men's team in the early 80's, also.

In 1987 I became an official for USSSA. I did that for three years and decided to branch out. So, in 1990 I joined the Utah High School Athletic Association and became a basketball official. In 1991 I started officiating High School football and in 1992 I began officiating High School baseball and softball.

From then to now I have officiated at many basketball camps. I have officiated High School Varsity and Junior Varsity and Sophomore and Freshman and some college-level games. In 1993 I passed the IAABO (International Association of Approved Basketball Officials) test, becoming internationally certified.

In 1992 I also became certified as an ASA Umpire (Amatuer Softball Association). A few years after I discontinued my association with USSSA softball. I attended two National Umpire's Schools and have officiated women's, young girl's and Men's fastpitch and slow pitch softball. In 2004 I was picked up as an official for the Scenic West Athletic Conference. I have officiated for schools from Idaho, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. Some of these have been Salt Lake Community College, the University of Utah, Southern Utah University and Utah Valley University.
