			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each year, married couples make plans and get caught up in the fun and excitement. There are countless details required in the overwhelming preparation. While it may not be on your list of priorities, taking steps to ensure that you and your spouse are prepared to file taxes can help you avoid problems with the Internal Revenue Service once you tie the knot.</p>
<p>Proper tax preparation for newlyweds can save headaches, time and money. You will need to make sure to, for example, change your legal name. In order to properly file your taxes and all exemptions, you will need to let the Social Security Administration know that you are legally changing your name and also request a new social security card. This can be done at your local Social Security office and by completing Form SS-5, the Application for a Social Security Card.</p>
<p>After that, you will need to make sure to change your address. You should notify the U.S. Post Office of this change and also let the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) know of your move. You can file IRS Form 8822 in order to make sure that this is done correctly.</p>
<p>Then, you will want to determine your options for filing status. Your marital status is determined by IRS based on whether or not you are married on December 31 of that tax year. If you are legally married, you can make the decision whether to file separately or jointly. The right status can save you a lot of money. If you are unsure which status to pick, consult an accountant or tax professional. They will be able to look at your specific situation and determine which filing status, itemizations and deductions you should select.</p>
<p>These steps can help ensure that your taxes are completed properly once you are married. Other things you can do include keeping proper records of purchases, business expenses and other financial information such as student loans. This correct documentation can help you avoid problems with the IRS, including troubling audits.</p>
<p>If you are facing an IRS audit or have other <a href="http://guardiantaxresolutions.com">tax problems</a> contact the experts at Guardian Tax Resolutions today by visiting <a href="http://GuardianTaxResolutions.com">GuardianTaxResolutions.com</a> for a free consultation and quote.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone is facing a tighter budget these days and tighter budgeting can mean skipping certain payments.  Foreclosures due to back mortgage payments are on the rise.  Homeowners, however, need to be aware that missing tax payments can be cause for tax liens to be placed on their properties.  Even with tight budgeting a little amount of planning ahead can make all of the difference in avoiding tax liens. </p>
<p>Tax liens are placed on homes when the owners have not paid their taxes; property, income, or otherwise.  The government places tax liens on their homes to ensure that the debts are paid and that the title cannot be transferred to another individual or put up as collateral for different financing options, including mortgages. </p>
<p>When tax liens are placed on mortgaged properties the mortgage companies are put in jeopardy of losing the property and all the money that is owed them.  Because of this high risk situation mortgage companies are often willing to pay off the taxes and charge the owner through an escrow account to make up the difference and ensure that the taxes get paid the next year. </p>
<p>Most of the time, however, lenders are not a part of the world of tax liens.  This is because most of these properties are owned out right.  They are generally second homes that have been inherited or aren&#8217;t lived in and so the property taxes are simply forgotten.  A simple way to avoid this situation is for owners to divide the taxes by 12 months and save up, making it a monthly bill that won&#8217;t be forgotten as easily. </p>
<p>Sometimes tax liens are placed on homes because people owe income taxes.  This situation can also be easily avoided by the owner contacting his or her employer and answering a few questions to figure out the right amount of federal taxes to be immediately taken from each paycheck.  If the owner has a lot of investments that would be taxed it would be a good idea to talk to an accountant to ensure that enough is being taken out and also to ensure that too much isn&#8217;t taken out of each paycheck. </p>
<p>There is no need for owners to lose their homes to tax foreclosures, because of tax liens that have not been dealt with.  The IRS is willing to work with people on payments of back taxes, so if owners have found themselves in this dire situation they can easily work their way out of it.  Avoiding tax liens in the future is really not very difficult when the owners are thinking ahead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2010 emergency budget has done small business very little good, if any. In fact, it has actually harmed the potential for growth for many such businesses, meaning that they will have to be even smarter at managing their resources to survive or thrive. Most small business sell direct to the public, who following the budget will have less spare cash in their pockets and less job security.</p>
<p>All small business need good cash flow to be able to stay in business. If cash stops coming in a business can very quickly go under, sometimes within a matter of months. A good accountant is essential to help you to manage cash flow. Experienced accountants will help you to map and monitor you cash flow as well as to suggest ways in which you can improve it. They will also find better ways of paying for stock that reduce the impact of a slowdown in cash flow on your business.</p>
<p>Big companies can weather a period of financial crisis more easily than small companies can. They have greater assets, which they can use to borrow against and they also have larger margins, which can be cut to take them through the lean times. However, there are still areas where small businesses can make savings; good accounts are essential to help identify where those cost savings can be made.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the government&#8217;s emergency budget did not include the freezing of business rates or the subsidising of commercial rates. Something that would have really helped existing small businesses and those people who want to set up a new business. As a result, small businesses need to consider if they can reduce those overheads themselves. Moving to smaller premises is one of the obvious ways of reducing these overheads. Your accountant will help you to consider the true costs of moving and understand how quickly you can actually begin to benefit from reduced overheads once the cost of moving have been taken into account.</p>
<p>A good accountant will always review your business plan with you following a budget. Doing so makes sure that you fully understand the implications the changes will have on your profitability and to identify any business opportunities that arise from the new rules.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever tax season rolls around, the crooks seem to come out of the woodwork. This tax season was no different. Internal Revenue Service scams were spread around; the most popular one involved an email that appeared to be a legitimate email from the IRS. This email stated that this year, your tax refund can be available on your Visa or Mastercard. To transfer your refund, it directs you to a website that asks for your credit card number, social security number, card verification value numbers, credit card expiration dates, filing status, amount shown on your tax return, and other personal information. In today's day and age, it is my hope that no one would offer this type of information to an unverified website merely because it looks authentic, but the few people who were duped are surely victims of identity theft and are now feeling the blowback from their fatal mistake.]]></description>

To transfer your refund, it directs you to a website that asks for your credit card number, social security number, card verification value numbers, credit card expiration dates, filing status, amount shown on your tax return, and other personal information. In today&#8217;s day and age, it is my hope that no one would offer this type of information to an unverified website merely because it looks authentic, but the few people who were duped are surely victims of identity theft and are now feeling the blowback from their fatal mistake.</p>
<p>When a website looks authentic and attempts to steal personal information from you, it is called phishing. A phishing example from the IRS was found on its web site, and it read very similarly to this clip: &#8220;We have calculated your financial activity for the year and have determined that you are currently eligible to receive a tax refund of $78.87. Kindly submit the tax refund request and allow us six to nine days so that we can process it. Get the form for your tax refund by clicking here.&#8221; The link will take you to a phishing website.</p>
<p>The IRS wanted taxpayers to know that they do not notify taxpayers of refunds, or any other payments that might be due by email. Instead of going to the link in the email, the IRS urged consumers to forward the email to its agency and to delete the original email from their email accounts.</p>
<p>Researchers tell us that IRS schemes this year for the most part worked one of two ways. Criminals mailed unsolicited emails that appeared to be coming from the IRS informing recipients that they had refunds coming. To receive their refund, the potential victim had click on email links and provide needed information which would be utilized to steal their identity.</p>
<p>The second trick that was popular was an email pretending to be from the IRS Criminal Investigation Division telling the recipient that they are under investigation for false tax returns. If potential victims wanted to find out more about the complaints against them, they had to click on links in the email which contained Trojan horse codes. These codes contaminate computer hard drives in a way that con men can remotely access their computers and use them to send spam email among other things. Next tax season, or in between, if you receive an unsolicited email from the IRS, it urges you to forward them the email.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a tax lien on your property can be quite a stressor in one&#8217;s life.  Although there are many ways in which you can prevent getting to this point the fact of the matter remains, for those already in the messy situation, that &#8220;what if&#8217;s&#8221; won&#8217;t make the problem go away.  There is hope though.  There are different options for paying off the tax lien that are fairly easy to accomplish.</p>
<p>Understanding why you have gotten the tax lien is the first step to getting rid of it.  A tax lien is attached to a property when they are overdue on taxes.  It cannot be taken off until the owner pays all of the taxes with their associated fees and interest that have accumulated.  The government sends notices to property owners to encourage payment and to warn of an impending tax lien.  If you are getting these letters you should respond to them.  Talk to someone about how you can get the taxes paid off without having the tax lien imposed upon your property.</p>
<p>If the tax lien has already been imposed upon your property then consider a few other options.  If your property is mortgaged you can get the lender to create an escrow account and pay the taes and fees up front for you, which you then pay of a 12 month period.  Most lenders do this automatically, but if yours has not, simply talk to them and see if they will.</p>
<p>Many properties with a tax lien attached are not financed, however, and in these situations things need to be handled a little differently.  Many people choose to sell their property.  This is a little tricky, but not quite.  A tax lien property cannot have its titled transferred and because of this the cost of paying off the tax lien must be written into the buyers closing costs.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t even care about the property and the money for selling it is not worth it to you then you could let the government take the property off of your hands.  If you ignore those warnings and statements issued by the government for long enough the property will be seized and sold at a tax deed auction.  It might also be sold to investors as a tax lien certificate.</p>
<p>A tax lien may seem like a monstrous task that is insanely boring hard to understand how to handle, but in reality it is quite simple.  Just do your homework and talk to the right people and you can have the issue resolved quickly.</p>
