Tax Relief Using an IRS Enrolled Agent: What, Why, and When

Tax professionals need to have a handle on their taxes to keep tabs on their interests and meet their financial goals. If you’re like most people, you may also be wondering how you can use an IRS enrolled agent as your way to get the most from your taxes. To help you answer that question, we’ve gathered some information about using an IRS-approved tax agent as your way to reduce your federal and state tax obligation. You might also be interested in our guide on how to get an IRS enrolled agent for your specific case.

Why use an IRS enrolled agent?

There are a few situations where it’s appropriate to use an IRS-approved tax accountant as your way to reduce your federal and state tax obligations. For example, you may owe state income taxes or payroll taxes that must be paid before you can use the IRS-approved tax accountant to reduce your federal and state tax burdens. Also, you may have several assets that have federal tax consequences, like your home, car, or business assets. A IRS enrolled agent you reduce these obligations by removing some or all of the taxes that may apply to those assets.

When is it appropriate to use an IIRS enrolled agent?

As noted above, it’s always a good idea to use an IRS-approved tax accountant when you have federal and state tax issues that need to be resolved. However, the IRS also provides some guidelines when it comes to the use of an IIRS registered agent. The most important thing to remember here is that you don’t need to use an IIRS registered agent in all situations. In fact, it’s perfectly fine to use an IRS-approved tax accountant in situations where federal or state taxes are the issue.

How to choose the right IRS enrolled agent for your situation

You’re probably wondering how you can choose the right IRS enrolled agent for your situation. We’ve listed some of the most important factors to consider when making a decision. For example, you may want to choose an IRS-approved tax accountant as your way to reduce your federal and state tax obligations. However, you may also want to choose an IRS-registered agent that’s already been paid and is in agreement with the terms and conditions of your tax return.

Bottom line

The bottom line when it comes to using an IRS-approved tax accountant is this: If you have federal or state tax issues that need to be resolved, choose an IRS-approved tax accountant. However, if you have questions or concerns about your tax return, double-check with your state or federal government to ensure that the issues are truly federal or state-related. You may also consider hiring a tax professional to work on your behalf. If you need help reducing your federal and state taxes, an IRS-approved tax accountant is the way to go. However, if you have questions about your tax return or would like to work with a different IRS-approved tax attorney, you can always speak with a tax professional. If you’ve already chosen the right IRS-approved tax accountant for your situation, congratulations! Now it’s over to you to implement the tax savings achieved by choosing the right IRS-approved tax accountant. Remember, numerous types of tax professionals can help you choose the right IRS-approved tax accountant for your situation. For example, you may want to work with an accountant who specializes in income taxes, a tax attorney who specializes in business taxes, or a tax advisor who specializes in estate tax issues. It’s important to find a tax professional that is well-suited to your particular circumstances.

RWBY COMBAT ANALYSIS: NEOPOLITAN

"Your boss won't stay dead… but you will without this ;) If you want her name, you know what you owe me."

*Just as a disclaimer, a good deal of this profile will reference events from the novel Roman Holiday by E. C. Meyers. However, I do not own a copy of the book myself, so the information here is from second-hand sources, specifically the plot summary presented on the RWBY wiki. If anything I present here is inaccurate, please feel free to correct me, as there is always the risk of someone editing a Wiki page in order to dupe people into buying into fan-made trivia. With all of that out of the way, let's begin*

PHYSICAL

Neopolitan, born Trivia Vanille, was a human female hailing from Vale, approximately twenty-five years of age during the Atlas Crisis, two years after the Fall of Beacon.  The only child of the Vale city manager Jimmy and his wife Carmel, her muteness led to an incredibly tense relationship with her parents, ranging from neglectful to abusive.  Her only solace was in the form of her imaginary friend Neopolitan, whose influence led to increasingly prominent episodes of rebellious criminal behavior before she was forcibly enrolled in Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy For Girls.  Conscripted as an agent by headmistress Beatrix Browning to subdue Roman Torchwick, she instead joined forces with the young criminal and aided in dismantling the academy, her parents, and Hei Xiong’s shared criminal enterprises.  Taking the name of her imaginary friend as her own, Neo served as Torchwick’s right-hand woman for 3-5 years, making names for themselves in the criminal underworld before being press-ganged into Cinder Fall’s operations.  Content with her place in life and her relationship with her employer, Neo’s world was thrown upside down during the Fall of Beacon, suffering a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the aspiring Huntress Ruby Rose, followed shortly by Torchwick’s death at the hands of a rogue Griffon.  Hardened and embittered further by this loss, she initially hunted down Cinder for revenge, but was convinced by the Fall Maiden to switch her ire to their shared enemy, Ruby.

Youthful yet hardened, Neo stood at a rather diminutive 4’10” but was primarily distinguished by her waist-length pink and brown hair, heterochromatic eyes, and muteness.  Possessing a petite physique, Neopolitan was nonetheless athletic and vital, proving her mettle on multiple occasions as a formidable physical combatant.  Her primary attributes were agility and dexterity, leveraged through precision attacks and nimble acrobatics.  Neo’s highly developed reflexes were her bread and butter, preforming subtle evasions to avoid attacks even at close quarters, avoiding everything from gunfire to blades to unarmed strikes, while intentionally aggravating her opponents.  She has definitively outpaced Yang Xiao Long, outmaneuvered Ruby Rose on multiple occasions, and was able to keep Cinder Fall in her crosshairs during their brawl in Miss Malachite’s tavern.  When confronted by multiple adversaries, Neo relied on more active gymnastics to spring around her environment, managing to outmaneuver the combined work of Team JNR and Oscar Pine in Atlas.  While her most impressive falls were only survived thanks to using Hush as a parachute, I won’t deny her talent at acrobatic recoveries to regain her footing.  The only time Neo’s agility failed her was during her confrontation with Maria Calavera at Amity Colosseum, and even this was only due to the elder woman’s precognitive Semblance.  Neo’s dexterity was best expressed through her dynamic and precise fighting technique, wielding her parasol as fluidly as a master duelist would wield a sword.  She has easily slipped in counters against even the most domineering adversaries, batting around Yang and Ruby without strain, was able to acquit herself well against Cinder’s dual blades, and has shown particular skill with snagging techniques, catching and manipulating Lie Ren and Maria Calavera’s weapons during their duels.

However, while she possessed respectable levels of stamina and discipline, holding down several intense long-term battles while maintaining her composure under fire, Neo’s strength and endurance were middling.  She obviously understood how to respond to injury, her acrobatic recoveries demonstrating her ability to bounce back from disruptions, and her emphasis on psychological warfare proves that she’s aware enough to keep her own cool even against aggressive dervishes.  However, while Neo could certainly take a hit, she couldn’t take a beating.  Cinder was able to bully through her interference with raw hand to hand combat in Miss Malachite’s bar, and a single punch from Oscar Pine was enough to completely stun her, giving NJR time to take up positions.  Even Yang Xiao Long, an opponent that Neo dominated, was able to manhandle her and throw her off balance, prompting her to stop toying with her and simply end the fight.  Given her ability to stagger Ruby and Yang with unarmed combat, Neo could certainly hit with great force, but she really couldn’t jockey for dominance in a direct contest of strength.  Though she was only subdued at Amity by Penny Polendina’s energy blast, the series of strikes she took from Maria Calavera beforehand were still enough to seriously disrupt her momentum and frustrate her.  At the Evacuation Central Location, Neo held down the bulk of the battle without tiring, but a single strike from Weiss Schnee, armed with the Staff of Creation, was enough to stagger her, and she was rendered helpless when Ruby tackled her from behind.  While by no means weak or fragile, Neo cannot handle a slugging match, simply because she can’t hold her ground.

Neo’s approach to battle was best supplemented by light, practical clothing that left her unencumbered, as her fighting style relied heavily on her acrobatics and balletic poise. In Atlas, she wore fitted white pants and ankle boots, a pink and white halter top with an attached brown jacket, and elbow length brown and white gloves. This outfit was topped off with a gray scarf and Roman Torchwick’s signature bowler hat, final lasting reminders of her late Dum-Dum.

RANKING: Tier 3, Advanced Human Fitness

Neopolitan is a high-level athlete who can easily outpace and outmaneuver just about anybody in the setting, to the point where the best most of her adversaries can hope for is to simply contend. However, her limitations also mean that that’s all she can do. All she’s bringing to a fight is agility and dexterity, with her strength and durability are average at best, making her a glass cannon physical combatant. To be fair, Neo is clearly aware of her shortcomings and has built her fighting style around avoiding the slugging matches she knows she can’t win.  Neopolitan’s success is ultimately determined by her ability to keep her foes at bay and off balance, avoiding her weak spots by preventing the opponent from bringing their full might to bear.

MARTIAL

Neopolitan wielded a parasol with a pair of concealed blades as her primary weapon, an instrument that she named “Hush”.  Gifted to her by Roman Torchwick, the umbrella appeared to be about three feet long with the blade in the tip retracted, growing another foot in length with the blade extended.  The hooked handle of Hush served as the hilt for the secondary foot-long misericord, housed in the hollowed-out shaft of the parasol. Despite its lacy appearance, the panels were extremely durable, capable of withstanding direct hits from Yang Xiao Long’s Ember Celica and Nora Valkyrie’s grenades and serving as an effective shield in close quarters combat.  Furthermore, Hush was strong enough to serve as an effective glider in case of emergency, this trait going so far as to save Neo’s life during the Fall of Beacon.  Elegant, cute, yet deadly, this weapon was as much a reflection of its owner as it was a killing tool.

While giving the outward appearance of a simple reform school for upper-class girls, Lady Browning’s Preparatory Academy For Girls was in truth a training ground for elite underworld spies and assassins for the Spider criminal cartel, their motto being to “be seen, not heard”.  Select students, of which both Neopolitan and her mother were counted, would be offered advanced training in martial arts, escape artistry, fencing, and espionage to aid in their missions, training under headmistress Beatrix Browning and the corrupt Huntress Manda Rin.  Though ultimately responsible for dismantling the program, Neo served as a testament to the institution’s teaching capabilities, standing as one of the most dangerous combatants of her day.  Prior to the fall of Beacon, Neopolitan had spent three years as Roman Torchwick’s primary aide and enforcer, making a name for herself as an escape artist, infiltrator, and assassin in the criminal underworld.  Though denied the meatgrinder of hard combat that her more respectable contemporaries possessed, she was still a highly talented and vicious fighter, having completely mastered the various functions of her weapon.  Befitting Rin’s training, her primary fighting style was a slippery and subversive mixture of classical fencing, cane fighting, and hand-to-hand combat, using every trick in her arsenal to disrupt and dissect her opponents.  With just her parasol, she favored swift batting strikes and probing stabs to whittle away at the opponent’s blind spots, either to wear them down or aggravate them into overextending. When defending, as she almost always was, she combined fencing style parries with solid two-handed blocking sequences, as well as suddenly opening up the umbrella to break her opponent’s momentum and even using the hook of the handle to trap and manipulate the opponent’s weapon.  While perfectly willing to use her concealed blades in live combat, notably shooting the tip out at Cinder Fall and Ruby Rose face during their duels, she typically reserved them as assassination tools to execute a helpless opponent, such as when she prepared to execute an unconscious Yang, or to keep them at relative gunpoint, using the blade to hold Ruby at bay on the air carrier.  Her unarmed skills she used far more heavily, regularly employing sudden heavy kicks to strike out at her opponent’s blind spots and joints.  Rather than overtax her lack of muscle mass by trying to punch above her level, she took the path of least resistance and hit where it was most effective.  This deceptive defensive fighting style was reinforced with the heavy integration of her Semblance, using her solid illusions to trick her target and leave them open to a retaliatory attack.

I would describe the mindset of Neopolitan’s tactics and conduct as “Provoke and Erode”.  She was a showboating troll, perfectly happy to toy with and annoy her foes by canceling out their offensives.  As Neo’s light build left her poorly suited for slugging it out, she focused on evasion and retaliation, slipping in light counters to wear her opponent down while using silent psychological warfare to goad them into overcommitting.  In single combat, Neo would open defensively, baiting her opponent into making the first move and giving way before their assaults, often making them think they were gaining ground before abruptly turning around and catching them off guard.  despite her cheery demeanor, Neo was shockingly ruthless, perfectly willing to execute helpless opponents and taking backstabs whenever possible.  In this manner she casually subdued Yang Xiao Long on the Mountain Glenn train and fended off Ruby Rose’s heavy scythe offensive during the Fall of Beacon, taking advantage of the Patch sisters’ frustration to keep them fruitlessly wailing on her while she danced around their assault.  After Torchwick’s death at the Fall of Beacon, Neo blamed Cinder Fall, training and improving her style in preparation before tracking her down to Lil' Miss Malachite’s tavern in Haven.  Ambushing the Fall Maiden, Neo managed to fight evenly with Cinder, forcing her to unleash her magical powers to force a draw.  As a larger strategic operative, Neo was an expert spy and infiltrator, at her best by sneaking past enemy lines to silently undermine the defenses.  During the Fall of Beacon, she successfully snuck aboard the Atlas flagship and butchered the bridge before freeing Roman, and in Atlas, she infiltrated the academy dorms to steal the Relic of Knowledge from Oscar Pine.  When confronted by the combined efforts of Pine, Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, Neo managed to outmaneuver and subvert all of them to facilitate her retreat.  Later, after stealing the Lamp as a bargaining chip, Neo broke into the Atlas military compound to get Arthur Watts into position, massacring the support staff with Cinder before hiding among the evacuating civilians to attack Team RWBY.  The only reason Neo’s attempt to murder Ruby failed was because of Yang, who saw her coming and took the hit for her sister, falling into the void.  Neo’s success in battle was heavily tied to the logistics at play.  As most Huntsmen and Huntresses are offensive heavyweights, they were extremely vulnerable to Neo, as her slippery defensive fighting style enabled her to dance around their attacks, get inside their guard, and slip in devastating counters all while deliberately aggravating them.

However, while this made Neo a serious threat to just about anybody, it was also based on her own inability to handle a head-to-head engagement.  Because of Neo’s lack of offensive might, she relied on the path of least resistance to get the most bang for her buck, and her greatest challenges have been when the enemy fails to give her the openings she needs.  Raven Branwen’s mere appearance was enough to frighten Neo into a retreat, and Cinder Fall was able to disrupt Neo’s momentum by leaning on focus and intensity to bully through her interference.  In Atlas, Jaune Arc momentarily got the better of Neo by intercepting her assault on Oscar and activating the gravity Dust repulsor in his shield, sending her flying down the hall.  Though Neo recovered quickly from the latter, it demonstrates that she wouldn’t be able to make much headway against a more capable defensive fighter, while also ironically being vulnerable to the very counters she herself employed.  This was all brought to a head in her duel with Maria Calavera at Amity Colosseum.  When confronted by Neo, Maria was decades over the hill physically and was obviously out of practice as a fighter, yet her own defensive technique allowed her to fend off Neo’s assault without serious difficulty.  Furthermore, as Neo’s entire approach is to catch her enemies off guard, Maria’s precognitive Semblance allowed her to intercept Neo’s attacks before they were even executed, effectively making her Neo’s nightmare opponent.  Additionally, Neo’s pride and vindictiveness had a tendency to undercut her otherwise capable tactical prowess.  She sometimes went too far with her smug posturing to the point of outright gloating, while her narrow focus on her personal vendettas led to tunnel vision, giving many of her opponents the chance to fight back and blindside her in turn.  These weaknesses, along with her great strengths, came about in the battle at the Evacuation Central Location, during which she fought a vicious duel with Ruby Rose.  She successfully ambushed Ruby at several points, even disarming her of her weapon while taking advantage of her emotional distress, but Ruby successfully goaded Neo into rushing in and attacking her, leading to an overextension that gave Ruby the chance to use her Semblance to run up behind her and tackle her off the bridge.  Neo was betrayed by Cinder Fall immediately afterwards, kicked into the void with the rest of RWBY.  Even with all this, Neo obstinately continued her grudge, spending her fall into nothingness trying to pointlessly kill Ruby.

RANKING: Tier 3, Standard Mastery

Neo is easily one of the most dangerous opponents active in the show right now, especially given how unorthodox her defense-oriented fighting style is.  She is patient, devious, and shockingly ruthless, perfectly willing to drag her opponents through a war of attrition to induce them into making a fatal oversight.  However, Neo’s technique is still fairly singular, and she is held back by certain practical limitations that limit her overall combative viability and can allow lesser fighters like Jaune and Maria to get the better of her.  Her tactics are brilliantly constructed and point to a highly developed game plan, but her narrow ego has led to her making costly oversights. Neo’s a subversive fighter, not an overwhelming one, and while this makes her tricky to engage, it also means she can and will crumble when put between a rock and a hard place.  That said, these weaknesses are tied to logistics rather than oversights, and Neo has specifically built her tactics to compensate for these shortcomings.  Neo is a living example of Roman’s philosophy of “lie, steal, cheat and survive.”  While no coward, she's perfectly willing to fight dirty, and if she can’t win, she prefers to cut her losses and flee.

SPECIAL

Neopolitan’s Semblance is called Overactive Imagination, the ability to create realistic illusions with physical properties to them.  By enacting a field of energy around her body or outside objects, she can alter its appearance and disguise it to the point where it even has the outward mass to resemble it.  Neo’s powers manifested during her isolated childhood, the lonely Trivia unconsciously projecting her imaginary friend to become a semi-tangible playmate.  After Trivia’s mother broke her Aura, Neopolitan never manifested again, with Trivia understanding that her playmate was in fact a piece of herself repressed by her parents’ influence.  Taking the name Neopolitan for herself, she cast aside her old life, embracing her full self along with her power.  As a criminal agent, Neo developed her Semblance to an extremely high level to aid in her and Roman Torchwick’s schemes.  Easily the most prominent demonstrations of Neo applying her powers was her ability to take on the appearance of other individuals as a form of disguise, allowing her unparalleled skill as an infiltrator.  She successfully took on the form of a paramedic during the Vytal Festival to spirit the supposedly crippled Mercury Black away, an Atlas military officer when she rescued Torchwick from Ironwood’s battleship, and later as a waitress at Jacques Schnee’s party, gaining intelligence on Ironwood’s plans and the status of Team RWBY.  In addition to simply disguising herself, Neo was also capable of projecting illusions upon inanimate objects to alter their appearance, arguably her greatest display of power in this regard being her transformation of a Mistrali airship into an Atlas Manta ship.  Even more impressive was how she could maintain the illusion long enough to slip through the Atlas blockade with no-one the wiser with no evidence of a toll on her stamina. The only serious limitation to these illusions were their brittleness, shattering with even minor amounts of blunt force trauma, and the fact that they could not mimic sound, making Neo’s muteness all the more palpable.  Alternatively, Neo appeared to have some ability to render herself invisible, disappearing from Raven Branwen and blending into the walls of the Monstra.

While Neo’s Semblance possessed extremely potent uses as an infiltration tool, it was not simply a utility power, and has been leveraged as a weapon to great effect.  In battle, Neo has used Overactive Imagination as a form of active defense, creating realistic illusions to draw her opponent’s attention and either open them up to a deadly ambush or facilitate her own retreat.  Her typical tactic was to form a realistic copy of herself and leave it standing while she ran away, tricking the opponent into attacking the dummy while leaving her free to blindside them.  In Vale, Neo successfully enabled her and Roman’s escape by tricking Yang Xiao Long into attacking her afterimage instead, giving the duo time to reach their bullhead, and during her duel with Ruby Rose, she drew Ruby’s attention with a double that left her exposed to Roman’s follow up strike.  During her time on her own, Neo learned to refine her body doubles as an active weapon in battle, using one as a feint against Cinder Fall at the start of their battle and later to slip away when they took the fight outside, though Cinder sussed it out and halted her with a fireball.  In the Evacuation Central Location, Neo disguised herself as a civilian in order to sneak up on Ruby, very nearly stabbing her in the back.  Far more insidious were her uses of her disguise illusions as a form of psychological warfare, taking the form of people her opponent had deep connections with to make them drop their guard.  During her theft of the Relic of Knowledge and subsequent battle with Team JNR, she tricked Oscar Pine into handing over the Relic and caught both him and Lie Ren off guard by transforming into Nora Valkyrie.  Exploiting Ren’s relationship with her, Neo managed to break his composure just as he was about to deliver a critical blow, enabling her escape. When falling into the Evacuation Central Location void, Neo spent the bulk of their weightless fist fight transforming into Ruby’s close friends and family, deliberately attempting to get under her skin by having her loved ones attempt to strangle her.

Neo’s use of her Semblance in battle served as a direct supplement to her fighting style, undermining and tricking her opponents into making mistakes by attacking something that isn’t there.  Her psychological warfare tactics demonstrated her ability to apply her subversive means of battle to both physical and ethereal combat to great effect, while her variety of applications allowed her to adjust her approach to suit the situation and opponent.  However, Overactive Imagination was not an unbeatable power, as its effectiveness is predicated on Neo’s ability to deceive and surprise her opponent.  Oscar caught her off guard when she tried to pass herself off as him and took a punch to the face for her trouble, tipping her hand and forcing her to confront JNR directly.  To be fair, Oscar had previously been tricked by Neo and knew she was a fraud, making his ability to expose her circumstantial.  Regardless, her inability to speak still limited her ability to impersonate people, making her pressed for time to accomplish her goal before the gig was up.  She may have fooled Nora at first, but I have no doubt that she, Ren and Jaune would have been able to sus her out eventually had she failed to slip away.  Furthermore, much like her theatrical posturing in her martial arts, Neo could sometimes go too far with the silent taunts, simply annoying the opponent rather than actually undermining them.  At Amity, Neo took on the appearance of Ruby Rose to screw around with Maria Calavera, but instead of intimidating her, this only made the ex-Huntress more determined to fight her off.  Furthermore, like any psychological warrior, Neo’s barbs are most successful when she has a strong familiarity with her target. If dropped in cold, she has nothing to work with.

RANKING: Tier 2, Flexible Combat

Neo’s special abilities are among the most versatile and dangerous in the setting despite having no direct offensive advantages, which she compensates for with an unprecedented degree of skill.  Her powers can be used for a variety of purposes for both basic utility and active combat, and she can and has leveraged the full range of her Semblance to great effect.  While a relatively simple power at first glance, Overactive Imagination is in fact incredibly multifaceted, and her use of it is extremely inventive, allowing her to exploit circumstantial factors and control the flow of the fight.  While Neo’s Semblance is not without limitations, her encounters with JNR and Maria proving that its effectiveness can be overruled or negated with enough force or a focused enough mind to not be subverted, Neo makes sure those limitations rarely come up through quick thinking, treacherous subversion, and shocking ruthlessness.  And I freely concede that the number of potential adversaries who could reliably see through Neo’s tricks is pathetically small.

OVERALL RANKING: TIER 3, ADVANCED HUNTRESS

Neopolitan’s overall ranking is determined from the average set by her physical abilities and martial skills.  While her flexible and powerful Semblance is easily a support factor on par with the likes of Qrow Branwen or Winter Schnee, she is held back by her status as a relative lightweight in all other areas.  Neo’s speed and agility makes her an extremely dangerous physical threat, and her fighting style is a deceptively powerful method that can threaten just about anyone, but she is at a severe disadvantage against more physically powerful or stronger defensive opponents.  Because of her lack of power, Neo is forced to adopt a defensive and underhanded strategic outlook to avoid the head-to-head engagements she is guaranteed to lose.  While her use of her Semblance elevates her fighting method to something greater than the sum of its parts, her uses are more the result of necessity rather than chosen support tools.  Neo can’t take a beating, so she built her skill set around making sure she never had to take one.  She is analogous to Oberyn Martell from Game of Thrones, as both are glass cannons who compensate for their lack of power with clever tricks and underhanded tactics to bypass stronger opponents.  In many ways, I consider Neo to be a Tier 2 in the making like Pyrrha Nikos, though the thing holding her back is holes in her skill set that can be exploited by lesser opponents rather than a lack of development.

Despite all her limitations, Neo’s threat level is not to be discounted, especially given how alien her approach to combat is among the RWBY battle arena.  Almost every other combatant in the setting operates on heavy offense and meeting their foes in direct combat, and almost nobody willingly gives ground and baits them.  What makes Neo so dangerous is that she effectively works at cross purposes with the common trends of her day, and her specific strengths and weaknesses come into play against pretty much everyone.  The only reliable way to combat Neopolitan is to use her own tactics against her, with Maria Calavera and Jaune Arc making more headway against her than pretty much anyone had beforehand.  And given her talent for goading her opponents into making the first move, her smug cheerfulness a sharp contrast to the cold killer she is, finding someone to fight her that way is like finding a needle in a haystack.  Neopolitan is one of those really infuriating fighters where you think you’re on top of her, that you just need to hit a little harder or move a little faster, and all the while she’s hitting you with sucker punches until you fall to the ground in a heap.  Essentially, the most dangerous troll in the world, dragging you along with a shit-eating grin as she prepares to gut you.  If she opens up that umbrella, watch the hell out.

Wage Garnishment Relief Guide: Protect Income, Regain Stability

Wage garnishment is a challenging financial situation in which a court orders your employer to withhold a portion of your earnings to repay a debt. In many cases, the IRS may enforce wage garnishment to collect on tax debts. Navigating the complexities of wage garnishment can be overwhelming, but it's important for taxpayers facing this issue to explore their options for relief and take action to protect their income and financial stability.

In this comprehensive guide, we will cover strategies for wage garnishment relief that can help you safeguard your income and work towards regaining control of your finances. We will discuss the reasons behind IRS wage garnishment, identify steps to take upon receiving a garnishment notice, and detail what options are available to negotiate for a more favorable repayment arrangement. By gaining a deeper understanding of wage garnishment relief strategies, you will be better equipped to tackle this challenging financial situation head-on and begin rebuilding a stronger financial future.

Understanding IRS Wage Garnishment: Reasons and Procedures

Wage garnishment by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) happens when a taxpayer fails to resolve their outstanding tax debts, typically after multiple attempts by the IRS to collect the due amount through notices. The IRS follows a series of steps before initiating wage garnishment, ensuring that the taxpayer has ample notice and opportunity to address the issue. The process usually includes:

1. Assessment and Demand for Payment: The IRS assesses the tax debt and sends a demand for payment notice.

2. Final Notice of Intent to Levy: If the taxpayer ignores the initial notice or fails to arrange a payment plan, the IRS sends a final notice of intent to levy, providing the taxpayer with 30 days to respond.

3. Issuing Wage Garnishment: If no response or payment arrangement is made within 30 days, the IRS can issue a wage garnishment, notifying the employer of the requirement to withhold a portion of the employee's wages.

Steps to Take Upon Receiving a Wage Garnishment Notice

If you receive notice of an impending wage garnishment, it is essential to act quickly to address the situation and minimize its impact on your financial stability. Here are some crucial steps to take:

1. Review the Notice: Carefully read the wage garnishment notice to ensure its accuracy, checking for potential mistakes or discrepancies in the tax debt amount. Report any errors to the IRS promptly.

2. Consult with a Tax Professional: Seek the advice of a tax professional, such as an enrolled agent, CPA, or tax attorney, who specializes in wage garnishment and tax debt resolution. They can help you understand your options and develop a plan to address your tax debt.

3. Communicate with the IRS: Open a line of communication with the IRS to discuss your situation and negotiate payment arrangements or other solutions.

Exploring Tax Relief Options to Stop Wage Garnishment

Thankfully, several tax relief options can help stop wage garnishment and enable you to regain control of your finances. These options include:

1. Full Payment of the Tax Debt: If you can pay the outstanding tax debt in full, wage garnishment will stop. However, this option may not be feasible for taxpayers facing financial difficulties.

2. Installment Agreement: Negotiating an installment plan with the IRS allows you to repay your tax debt over time while stopping wage garnishment.

3. Offer in Compromise: An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between you and the IRS to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed, effectively stopping the wage garnishment.

4. Currently Not Collectible: If the IRS determines that your financial situation prevents you from paying your tax debt, they may place your account in a Currently Not Collectible status, temporarily stopping wage garnishment.

Hiring a Tax Professional to Help Resolve Wage Garnishment

Seeking the expertise of a tax professional can be invaluable in resolving wage garnishment and addressing tax debt. A qualified tax expert can offer several benefits, including:

1. Expert Representation: Tax professionals are equipped to represent you in dealings with the IRS, ensuring your rights are protected and helping negotiate favorable repayment arrangements.

2. Comprehensive Solutions: An experienced tax professional can help you explore all available options to address wage garnishment, leveraging their expertise and knowledge of the tax system.

3. Reduced Stress: Knowing that your wage garnishment case is being handled by a qualified expert can help alleviate the stress and anxiety associated with tax debt problems.

4. Financial Stability: By working with a tax professional to resolve your wage garnishment issue, you can take a proactive approach to regaining financial stability.

Fantober 2022 - Nireta

Homeplane: Theros

First Planeswalk: Ravnica

Color Identity: UB, with a dipping into R

FULL BIO

Bookish and introverted compared to her human friend, Nireta is quite fine with not going on the arduous adventures most other planeswalkers find themselves on. Originating from Theros, Nireta spent most of her life in solitude on a lonely archipelago with her knowledge of the outside world coming from ship wreckage and cargo that would wash up on her shore. Playing on the child’s growing interest and curiosity, the god Phenax blessed her with the powers of speech and literacy, stoking her growing desire. As she raided more and more human ships and settlements to sate her desire for knowledge, she fell into Phenax’s plan and eventually drew the ire of a budding hero. Attacked in the dead of night, the near deadly assault would cause Nireta’s spark to ignite and bring her to Ravnica. She would join the Dimir, acting as a part-time agent for the guild for solitude and secrecy. Although following Bolas’s invasion, she did some soul searching and with some advice from her friend Nireta decided she needed a change. After some wandering, she eventually enrolling into Strixhaven. She’s nominally under the Prismari colors, but has found her own way into the classes of the other colleges when the subjects strikes her fancy.

Nireta’s power and magic, like all Theros sirens, is her enchanted voice with its all the mind-control and persuasive abilities it carries. Bolstered with what travels she has made and her work with the Dimir, she’s learned to be much more versatile than her typical siren. She can scream loud enough to shatter brick, whistle a piercing note to disorientate, and even have her sounds linger in the ear long after she leaves. She’s also picked a few mind-magic techniques, even a few from Halona, to protect her mind from people trying her own tricks on her. Maybe not as much of a power shift as one might expect, her time with the Prismari has given her a broader perspective on using her magic and taught her that with a voice like hers, it sometimes pays to add a bit of flair.

What is an enrolled agent, and what are their responsibilities?

An enrolled agent (EA) is a tax professional authorized by the US government to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in matters related to tax issues, such as audits, collections, and appeals. EAs are licensed by the IRS after passing a rigorous exam covering individual and business tax returns, and ethical standards. They also need to complete 72 hours of continuing education within a three-year period to keep their license valid.

Enrolled agents provide a range of tax services, including tax planning, preparing and filing tax returns, responding to IRS inquiries, and negotiating payment plans with the IRS. They can work independently, as part of a tax firm or as an employee in a company's accounting or finance department. EAs are knowledgeable about tax laws and regulations, and they can help taxpayers navigate the complexities of the tax code to minimize tax liability and maximize refunds.

Help Paying Tax Debt: Options and Strategies

Owing tax debt can be stressful, especially when it starts accumulating penalties and interest. Fortunately, there are various programs and strategies available to  Help Paying Tax Debt and pay off their tax debt. The key is to take proactive steps to address the issue before it leads to more severe consequences like wage garnishment or asset seizure. Here’s a guide on what you can do if you need help paying tax debt.

Why Tax Debt Happens

Tax debt can accumulate for many reasons, including underpayment of taxes, failure to file returns on time, or financial hardship that prevents you from paying what you owe. Even simple mistakes, such as errors in filing or misunderstanding tax laws, can lead to unpaid tax bills. The IRS and other tax agencies often impose penalties and interest on unpaid balances, causing the debt to grow over time.

Available Options for Paying Tax Debt

If you find yourself in tax debt, there are several options to help you manage the situation. The IRS offers a range of solutions, depending on your financial circumstances and the amount of debt you owe.

1. Installment Agreements

An installment agreement allows you to pay off your tax debt in smaller, manageable amounts over time, rather than in a lump sum. The IRS offers different types of installment agreements, such as:

Short-term payment plans: These plans give you up to 180 days to pay off your debt. No fees are charged for this type of plan, though penalties and interest continue to accrue.

Long-term payment plans: Also known as an installment agreement, this plan allows you to pay your tax debt over a longer period, usually up to 72 months. There is a setup fee for long-term payment plans, but it can be reduced for low-income taxpayers.

You can apply for an installment agreement online, by phone, or by submitting Form 9465 to the IRS. It's important to ensure that you make your payments on time to avoid defaulting on the plan.

2. Offer in Compromise (OIC)

An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a program where the IRS agrees to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount owed. This option is typically available for taxpayers who can prove that they are unable to pay the full debt without significant financial hardship.

To apply, you must submit IRS Form 656 along with a detailed financial disclosure (Form 433-A or 433-B). The IRS reviews factors such as your income, expenses, and assets to determine whether the offer is reasonable. This process can be complex, so it’s often helpful to work with a tax professional if you’re considering this option.

3. Currently Not Collectible (CNC) Status

If you’re facing severe financial hardship and unable to make any payments on your tax debt, you may qualify for Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status. This means the IRS temporarily suspends collection efforts, including wage garnishment and liens, until your financial situation improves.

While in CNC status, interest and penalties continue to accrue, but you won’t be required to make payments. To apply, you’ll need to provide detailed financial information to prove that paying the tax debt would prevent you from covering basic living expenses.

4. Penalty Abatement

In some cases, the IRS may reduce or remove penalties on your tax debt if you can show a valid reason, such as illness, natural disaster, or financial hardship. This is called "penalty abatement." If you have a history of filing and paying your taxes on time, you may also qualify for the IRS’s First-Time Penalty Abatement (FTA) program.

You can request penalty abatement by submitting a written request or calling the IRS directly. Keep in mind that interest on unpaid taxes will still apply, even if penalties are reduced.

Seek Professional Help

Navigating tax debt relief options can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with the IRS or other tax agencies. Seeking help from a tax professional such as a certified public accountant (CPA), enrolled agent (EA), or tax attorney can make the process easier. These professionals can negotiate with the IRS on your behalf, help you understand your options, and ensure that you meet the necessary requirements to resolve your tax debt.

Avoiding Future Tax Debt

To avoid tax debt in the future, consider these preventive measures:

Adjust Your Withholding: If you frequently owe taxes, adjust your withholding by filing a new Form W-4 with your employer to ensure enough taxes are being taken out of your paycheck.

Estimated Payments: If you’re self-employed or have additional income streams, make estimated tax payments throughout the year to avoid a large tax bill at the end.

File on Time: Even if you can’t pay the full amount owed, filing your tax return on time helps you avoid additional penalties.

Conclusion

If you're struggling with Help Paying Tax Debt, you're not alone, and there are numerous resources and options available to help. From payment plans to offers in compromise, the IRS provides various ways to help taxpayers manage their obligations. Taking action early and exploring the right solution for your financial situation is crucial to preventing further penalties and stress.

The Importance of Getting a Second Opinion on Your Tax Return

Tax season can be stressful, and it’s easy to want to file your return as quickly as possible to get it over with. However, rushing through your tax return can lead to costly mistakes or missed opportunities for deductions and credits. One way to ensure you’ve maximized your refund or minimized your tax liability is by seeking a second opinion tax return.

In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of getting a second opinion and why it can make a significant difference in your financial situation.

1. Avoid Costly Errors

Even a small mistake on your tax return can have significant consequences. It could result in a smaller refund, a larger tax bill, or even an IRS audit. Some of the most common errors include:

Misreporting income

Incorrect filing status

Claiming ineligible deductions or credits

Typographical mistakes

Tax professionals have the experience and knowledge to catch these errors. By seeking a second opinion, you can ensure your return is accurate before submitting it to the IRS.

2. Maximize Your Deductions and Credits

Tax laws change frequently, and it can be difficult to keep up with every new deduction, credit, or regulation. A tax professional who provides a second opinion may be able to spot opportunities for deductions or credits that you or your initial tax preparer missed. These could include:

Home office deductions (if applicable)

Education credits

Medical expense deductions

Charitable contributions

A second opinion could reveal ways to legally lower your tax liability, putting more money back in your pocket.

3. Get Peace of Mind

If you’re unsure about the accuracy of your tax return or have concerns about potential red flags, a second opinion can provide peace of mind. Knowing that another tax professional has reviewed your return and confirmed its accuracy can alleviate the anxiety of potentially facing an audit.

4. Ensure Compliance with Tax Law

Tax laws are complex, and staying compliant is essential to avoid penalties. A second opinion from a tax expert ensures that your tax return follows all relevant laws and regulations. This is especially important for individuals or businesses with more complicated tax situations, such as those involving:

Investments

Rental properties

Self-employment income

Foreign income or assets

A second tax expert may be able to identify areas where your return needs further attention to comply with IRS rules.

5. Find a Better Tax Preparer

Getting a second opinion may reveal weaknesses in the work of your initial tax preparer. If you feel your current tax preparer is not providing the level of service you need, getting a second opinion may be the perfect opportunity to find a new tax professional.

When to Consider a Second Opinion

While it's always a good idea to review your tax return carefully, there are certain situations when getting a second opinion is especially important:

Major life changes: Marriage, divorce, homeownership, or starting a business can complicate your tax return.

Unusual financial events: Inheritances, large gifts, or major investment changes may require extra scrutiny.

First-time filing as self-employed: Navigating deductions and tax rules for self-employment can be tricky, and a second set of eyes is crucial.

High tax bills: If your tax bill is unexpectedly high, a second opinion might uncover errors or missed deductions.

How to Seek a Second Opinion

Finding a tax professional for a second opinion is easier than ever. You can consult with a certified public accountant (CPA), an enrolled agent, or another qualified tax expert. Many tax preparers offer services that include reviewing previously prepared returns, ensuring they’re in line with current tax laws.

You can also ask for a second opinion from a different professional at the same firm that prepared your initial return. Make sure to bring all relevant documents, including previous tax returns, receipts, and income statements, to ensure a comprehensive review.
