Taxes. No one wants to pay them, and even gathering the documents you need to file your annual return is a pain. But, as a New Jersey resident or business owner, meeting your obligations to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the New Jersey Department of Taxation is mandatory and failing to report your income or pay what you owe can lead to drastic consequences.
Just how drastic? Technically speaking, simply failing to file a tax return is a crime that can land you in prison. Are you going to go to prison for failing to file a return? Probably not, but you could be at risk for significant financial penalties. In cases of fraud, the IRS can impose penalties as high as 75 percent of the amount of underpayment. A simple failure to file can result in a monthly penalty of 5 percent of the net tax due – up to a total penalty of 25 percent. This, of course, is in addition to payment of the actual tax you owe as well as the interest accrued.
With these penalties in mind, if you are concerned that you could be behind on your income reporting or tax payment obligations, it is imperative that you discuss your situation with an experienced tax attorney.

If you live or work in Jefferson and have been contacted by revenue agents from the IRS or the New Jersey Department of Taxation, I can help you.

Answers to Common Questions about Dealing with Tax Problems in New Jersey
Q: If I discovered an issue with my federal tax returns, should I report the issue to the IRS?
As a general rule, yes. If you have underpaid your taxes, failed to disclose foreign assets, or made any other mistake on your state or federal returns, your best option is to address it proactively. But, how you address the issue is a matter that you will likely want to discuss with an experienced tax attorney. While the IRS is generally more forgiving of taxpayers who affirmatively disclose violations, you still want to make sure you have a strategic plan for moving forward.
Q: Can I be penalized for failing to file quarterly returns?
If you own a business or do not have taxes withdrawn from your paycheck, you are required to file quarterly returns with the IRS that include estimated payments of your income tax liability. If you have failed to file your quarterly returns and make estimated payments, the IRS can penalize you by charging interest on the amount(s) you failed to pay.
Q: Can my tax attorney deal with the IRS or New Jersey Department of Taxation on my behalf?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, most of my time is spent communicating with revenue agents and Appeals Officers on behalf of my clients.
