Members Bob Savage Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 Originally posted by PlayboyChris 25 in a residential zone? You lie .... Residential is one of the few areas, other than known speed traps, where I do maintain the speed limit. It's just too dangerous to speed in residential areas, IMO.

Members DonK Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 Originally posted by STEEL KAGE Theres a Very fine line in what youre talking about Don.... You're absolutely right. Some guys will tell their clients exactly what they want to hear, regardless of whether it crosses the line. But there are also lots of grey areas where the law isn't clear, and you have to help the client make a judgment call. You can certainly influence that call, but you shouldn't make it yourself. If the client takes a position you can't live with, then you have to disassociate yourself. 'Course, this all easier to say than to do, because no one likes to lose a source of income.

Members Doug's Tubes Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 Originally posted by STEEL KAGE Seriously though, cut the guy some slack... There is a world of difference between taking a position on a questionable expense and supporting your position and then deducting it, and committing fraud. If the IRS disagrees, they disallow the deducition and you can argue over that one and reach a compromise. But manufacturing fraudulent deductions that don't exist? No sympathy here.

Members Doug's Tubes Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 Originally posted by DonK Not if he wanted to keep his license. We might take aggressive deductions, but very few of us would be willing to sanction making them up. I never had trouble telling a client that wanted me to commit outright fraud to take his tax work someplace else. They think that the initials CPA stand for Certified Public Accomplice.

Members Bob Savage Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 Originally posted by PlayboyChris Not even 30? 25 seems like a crawl ... On very rare occasion, I've done 30, but 99% of the time I'm at 25... .8% pushing it to 26 or 27, and .3% to 30. Well, not exactly, but I'm sure you see what I'm saying.

Members SkidMarx Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 Originally posted by kannibul I don't remember any boxes to check... hmm. How can I check to see if I am signed up on that? they should have asked you about it when you signed your mortgage paperwork. It's pretty standard here. The Homestead Act prevents you from being sued and losing your primary residence. I am not sure if non-payment of taxes counts. And of course it doesn't stop forclosures if you don't pay your mortgage. But it does prevent anyone else from suing you and taking your house. Of course they can take everything inside the house that has any value, but at least you still have a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a law that allows you to declare your primary residence a Homestead and it is protected from seizure if you are sued. Anyone else know what it's called?

I thought the law as a federal law. Of course the federal "Homestead Act" was repealled in 1976(?). The law I was referring to is actually a Massachusetts law.

Members etienne Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 You will get out of this trust me... I didn't read the whole thread but on the deduction you faked you may owe 3-4K depending on the tax bracket... You will not loose your house... Assuming that you are not hidding anything else, something you didn't mention in this thread. You can negociate with the IRS for monthly payments. BTW, there are several types of audit. Sometimes they just give you a call and ask you a few questions. That is an audit by definition. Etienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pavel Posted January 13, 2006 Members Share Posted January 13, 2006 I don't know where I heard this piece of advice so I don't know how good it is, but... If the agent comes to your house, try to schedule the meeting sometime Friday afternoon. It's gonna be the end of the work week, and he'll probably want to get the {censored} out of there. May cut you some slack, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Real MC Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Originally posted by SkidMarx I believe the Homestead Act prevents your house from being seized under these circumstances. Some states have homestead acts, but that protects your house from BANKRUPTCY. Declaring bankruptcy does not relieve you of your tax obligations. And there is no federal homestead act, in fact the latest bankruptcy reform puts limits on state homestead acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
