Since the tax filing deadline comes at the busiest time of year for Realtors, many agents and brokers opt to file for an automatic extension to file with the IRS.That will push the deadline for S Corp filers to Sept 15... even Oct 15 for many LLC and sole proprietors. The problem is, with the crazy busy real estate market this year, maybe a late summer vacation, and now kids back in school, many Realtors still aren't ready to file!So what happens if you file late?No, you can't ask for another extension. You already got one - a six month extension - and you don't get another. At least not without reasonable cause. What's reasonable cause? Think fire, natural disaster, serious illness and the like."I'm too busy" or "I don't have the money" don't qualify as legit excuses for avoiding IRS p... 09/11/2021

Can the IRS really levy your W2 paycheck or 1099 Real Estate Commission Check? They can - and will - if you've  been getting IRS notices asking you pay taxes owed, and you fail to comply.  I've also seen agents and brokers who haven't even filed tax returns get levied by the IRS or their state tax agency -- for 100% of their Commission Income. I can't think of any worse news than learining your paycheck is 100% frozen. The good news is theirs ways to stop an IRS levy, and I'm going to show you how. I provide IRS Representation for troubled taxpayers who fall behind filing their returns or paying their taxes due.  How a Wage Levy Works To stop a wage levy, you first need to understand how it works.  Your employer or broker is required to held a specific percentage of your pay, and send i... 08/20/2021

Did you know ...if you have employees working in your business, and you haven't paid payroll taxes, you can become personally responsible for those taxes? Even if the business itself ceases to exist, you can be assessed for the tax debt.How is this possible?Everyone knows that real estate sales is seasonal. Sales can be seasonal. Commission income and cash flow can be great some months, and not so great in other monthsUnfortuntely, one of the easiest sources of cash when money is tight is federal payroll taxes.It's been called the easiest loan to get, but the hardest to repay.You don't even have to apply for a "loan". The funds are sitting right there in your bank account!I'm referring to money withheld from employee checks this month, sitting in your bank account, and waiting to be pai... 02/13/2021

I've worked with many good Realtors over the years who haven't filed tax returns.An agent's  "busy season" (March - April - May) matches up perfectly with the IRS filing deadline. Which means Realtors can get so busy serving clients that they lose track of the tax timeline.  I'm excited about the information I'm about to share because it's helped so many put their tax problems behind them and get a fresh start! Let's Talk Compliance - 1040 ReturnsIf agents or brokers miss one deadline, it can have a snowball effect. They don't want to file the next year, in fear the IRS will find out about the first year missed. Or they just don't feel they can afford to pay the taxes.They key to fixing an IRS problem is to first get "Compliant". You can't pass go, you can't get a deal with the IRS, you... 02/11/2021

I work with many Realtors who fall behind on taxes, and then make mistakes trying to resolve things.Many jump into monthly payment plans they can't afford, thinking an Installment Agreement is their only option. To prevent the IRS from filing a Federal Tax Lien, levying their bank account or seizing their stuff, they accept a monthly agreement as their 'fate'. But then they can't afford the monthly payments, default on their agreement, and end up in worse shape with the IRS than before!An IRS Installment Agreement is not your only option. Other progams could be better suited to your financial situation, such as... Currently Not Collectible Status  CNC is an IRS program designed to help taxpayers in financial hardship The IRS agrees to put all enforcement actions "on hold" for up to 2 ye... 01/12/2021

I've worked with hundreds of Realtors over the years to reduce their IRS tax bite and gain control over their finances. Many find it hard to manage cash flow when closings and commission income fluctuate up and down. But COVID times aren't 'normal times';  financial challenges have intensified. Here's the good news:  late this week both the SBA and the IRS came out with guidance on the new Paycheck Protection Program. ("PPP 2.0")Do you want an infusion of tax-free cash, from a 'loan' that potentially will be 100% forgiven ?!!?Here's a quick overview of PPP 2.0: If you participated in PPP 1.0, you can now take a second ride with PPP 2.0 If you didn't take PPP 1.0, you have advantages as a first time borrower with PPP 2.0 It's easier for agents (most of whom are small businesses, sole pro... 01/09/2021

Why have planned communities become so popular in today's economy? Yes, people are building and buying new homes again in Virginia, and we're excited about what's going on in our four East West Communities in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Maybe the sales pace isn't what it was a few years ago, but that's okay. Builders have definitely stepped up and are taking great care of the customer, AND we're seeing outstanding new home values as a result. One of the drawbacks of the building boom a few years ago was the fact that builders couldn't meet their closing deadlines and sometimes customer service fell behind the wayside. Our buyers are finding out that it is a great time to build after comparing their options with the other possibilities in the marketplace. There's a definite resu... 03/03/2013
