IRS INTRODUCES NEW ONLINE EIN APPLICATION PROCESS

This just in from the IRS:

.
“Taxpayers can now request an Employer Identification Number (EIN) through a Web-based system that instantly processes requests and generates identification numbers in real time, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.

.
"This new and improved online application will reduce the time it takes taxpayers to get an EIN," said Richard Morgante, Commissioner of the IRS Wage & Investment Division. "Essentially they can get one while they wait –– within minutes."

.
Here's how it works. A taxpayer accesses the Internet EIN system through www.IRS.gov and enters the required information. If the information passes the automatic validity checks, the IRS issues a permanent EIN to the taxpayer. If the information does not pass the validity checks, it is rejected. The taxpayer then has an opportunity to correct the information and resubmit the application.

.
The Internet EIN application is interactive and asks questions tailored to the type of entity the taxpayer is establishing. This is similar to popular tax processing software packages on the market.

.
The system provides "help" screens throughout the application process. This means taxpayers will no longer have to print the EIN instructions and separately search for answers while requesting an EIN.

.
When the EIN application process is complete, a taxpayer has the option to view, print and save his or her confirmation notice, as opposed to waiting for the IRS to mail it. Third parties authorized by the taxpayer can also be provided with the EIN, but the third party cannot view, print or save the confirmation notice. Instead, the confirmation notice is mailed to the taxpayer.

.
An EIN assigned through Internet submission is immediately recognized by IRS systems. Taxpayers can begin using the EIN immediately for most business purposes.”

.

If I have occasion to use this new process in the future I will let you know how it goes.

TRI STATE TAX UPDATE

I just got an email from NSTP about a half-day TRI STATE TAX UPDATE seminar that will discuss the latest developments in state and local tax for New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. It will cover personal, corporate and other taxes, new legislation, collection policies, and procedures and developments.

.
Presented by the NJ Institute for Continuing Legal Education, in cooperation with the NJSBA Taxation Law Section, the National Society of Tax Professionals and the Central Jersey chapter of the Society of Enrolled Agents, the seminar will be held on Thursday, November 1st from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick.

.
General admission is $189.00, but NSTP members pay only $139, as NSTP is a Co-Sponsor of the event.

.
To be honest, one cannot properly cover the state tax laws of three states in sufficient detail in only 4 hours, and the fee is a bit high considering what I pay for other full-day workshops, but I am curious and will probably attend.

.
You can download a Tri State Tax Update Registation Form or register online at the NJICLE website.

After the education session ends a brief formation meeting will be held to organize a New Jersey chapter of the National Society of Tax Professionals. NATP member and moderator for the TriState Tax Update Marty Stein will address further education and networking opportunities for a NJ chapter of NSTP. If you are interesting in assisting Marty with the formation of such a branch please call the NSTP office at 800-367-8130, or email NSTP at taxes@nstp.org.

GOING TO THE TOP

I never received a response to my email to the NJ Division of Taxation employee asking why a client was not paid interest on monies held erroneously by the Division for almost a year. See my earlier posting on "WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS APPARENTLY NOT GOOD FOR THE GANDER IN NEW JERSEY!"

.

So I decided to "go to the top" and ask the Division's Acting Director Maureen Adams. As long as I was writing I decided to include another, related, issue.

.

Here what I wrote:

.

"Dear Ms. Adams:

I am writing in the hopes of getting answers to two issues that involve the NJ Division of Taxation’s administration of New Jersey Gross Income Tax.

(1) As I do not electronically file returns using tax software, but am required by the State of New Jersey to file all full-year resident NJ-1040s using some non-paper method, the only option available to me is NJWebFile. For tax year 2005 I attempted to file as many NJ-1040s as possible via NJWebFile, unless I received a signed Opt-Out form from the client.

In the case of a 2005 NJ-1040 with a balance due submitted via NJWebFile, even though the taxpayer paid the balance due on time using the payment voucher generated by NJWebFile, and received a cancelled check indicating that the state had received and processed the payment, each and every client, without exception, was billed for the balance due, plus penalty and interest, in September of 2006. A client who called the NJ Division of Taxation about the double billing was told that the original 2005 payments were erroneously applied to tax year 2004.

In most of the cases either the client or I contacted the Division regarding the serious error and the matter was resolved. In at least one case a client did not contact either me or the Division, but incorrectly assumed that the Division knew what it was doing and paid the amount billed in September of 2006. When sending me her 2006 information, late in the season, this client included the balance due notice and I immediately contacted the Division. The client received a refund of the second payment in early September of 2007, almost a year after sending in the check.

If the original 2005 payments made by all of these NJ taxpayers had been erroneously applied to tax year 2004 as we were told then the taxpayers' accounts for 2004 would indicate an overpayment. The client who paid the tax twice and did not tell me until almost a year later did not receive a refund for tax year 2004, nor was she notified by the Division that such an overpayment existed in her 2004 account.

What is the policy of the NJ Division of Taxation concerning taxpayer overpayments? Does it simply sit back, cross its fingers, and hope that the taxpayer doesn’t discover the error so it can keep the money? Why does the Division not contact a taxpayer whose account shows an overpayment to request clarification?

(2) The taxpayer who paid the same tax twice mentioned above owed the State of New Jersey $172.00 on her 2006 NJ-1040. Although she worked full time in New York State, and paid nonresident tax to NYS, and only had minimal interest and dividend income, she had an excessive balance due to NJ because she was taxed on health insurance premiums deducted from her pay check that both the federal government and New York State treated as being “pre-tax” – but not New Jersey.

The taxpayer was charged $40.85 for paying her $172.00 in NJ state income tax liability late - after the April 17th deadline. This is fine, and was expected under current NJ tax regulations.

As I have explained, the State of New Jersey erroneously billed the taxpayer for a tax liability that had already been paid on time, and charged her interest on this erroneous billing. The erroneously billed amount was paid by the taxpayer. The State of New Jersey held on to this overpayment for almost a full year. The amount of the erroneous excess payment was refunded, but the State of New Jersey did not pay the taxpayer any interest for the period of time that it held on to her money erroneously.

If the taxpayer must pay the State interest when it pays late, why does the State not have to pay the taxpayer interest on an erroneous overpayment? When the taxpayer errs he/she is penalized. But when the State errs it is not penalized! Why is this?

I submitted the second question via email to the Division of Taxation employee with whom I had dealt successfully regarding the double payment, but this question was totally ignored.

Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to receiving your response to these two issues.

Very truly yours,

Robert D Flach"

.

I will let you know if I get a response.

While dealing with the NJ Division of Taxation is second on the list of tax preparer frustrations, topped only by dealing with clients, dealing with the IRS can also be quite frustrating at times. Check out today's posting on my other blog THE WANDERING TAX PRO - "The IRS Blues".

THIS AND THAT

* I invite you to read today’s posting to my other tax-related blog THE WANDERING TAX PRO – “Ask the Tax Pro – Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction” and let me know your opinion on the issue.

Was my answer to the question correct – or was I totally off?

I look forward to reading your input.

* 23 states have established a Multi-State Tax Shelter Voluntary Compliance Program which allows taxpayers to “unwind” abusive tax shelters in exchange for a state benefit, usually full abatement of penalty, “hosted” by the Multistate Tax Commission. The program runs from May 1 until October 1, 2007.

* In case you didn’t already know, the Summer 2007 issue of the New Jersey State Tax News is now available in pdf format online.

* BTW, I have still not received a response to my email sent to the NJDOT person which I mentioned in my “What’s Good For The Goose…” posting.

VIRUS WARNING

I just received the following email alert from a client. For what it is worth I pass it along to you -

“A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee. This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored. This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title: 'You've received a Post Card from a Family member'.

.
As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+ del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York , according to news broadcast by CNN.

.
This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don't open any mails with subject: 'A Post Card from ...' As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender!!!

.

Please pass this mail to all of your friends.”

I do recall receiving several emails with that entry in the “Subject Line” at two of my email addresses. I assumed it was spam and automatically deleted it – which apparently was a good thing. As I have said before, I never open an email unless I recognize the “address” or name of the sender.

THE CHECKS ARE IN THE MAIL!

Let your clients know - the rebate checks for “non-senior” and “non-disabled” homeowners are in the mail.

.

Taxpayers who filed a NJ Homestead Property Tax Rebate application by the original August 15th deadline should get their checks next week. Checks for those who filed after August 15 will be issued as quickly as possible.

HELP WANTED!

I am looking for a tax professional, preferably located in rural Morris County, who has had experience and success filing Offers In Compromise to assist a client couple living in the Schooley’s Mountain area.

I have absolutely no experience with OICs. While I do believe you can teach an old dog new tricks, this old dog does not particularly want to learn any at this point.

If you are interested please email me at rdftaxpro@mail.com (put “Offer In Compromise” in the “subject line”) with a brief outline of your experience and an indication of your fees for this service.

I wish to continue to prepare the annual 1040 for the couple, and only need someone who will assist them in submitting the OIC. Thieves need not apply.

I had sent this request to the NJ chapter of NATP several months ago, but received no response.

NEW JERSEY IS #1!

The Tax Foundation has updated the popular property taxes on owner-occupied housing tables by state and county for 2006.

Seven (7) of the Top 10 counties in median real estate taxes paid for 2006 are in New Jersey; the other 3 are in New York. Hunterdon County in NJ is #1 with median real estate taxes paid of $7,999.00. The national median in 2006 was $1,742.00.

Hudson County, my home base, did not make the Top 10 – it came in at #14 with median taxes of $5,887.00.

New Jersey tops the list of “Property Taxes on Owner Occupied Housing by State” for 2006. The average realty tax on NJ owner-occupied property for 2006 was $5,773.00.

WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS APPARENTLY NOT GOOD FOR THE GANDER IN NEW JERSEY!

A client, who sent me her “stuff” after the March 31st deadline this tax season and was automatically extended, owed the State of New Jersey $172.00 on her 2006 NJ-1040. Although she worked full time in New York State, and paid nonresident tax to NYS, and only had minimal interest and dividend income, she had an excessive balance due to NJ because she was taxed on health insurance premiums deducted from her pay check that both the federal government and New York State treated as being “pre-tax” – but not New Jersey. Because the required 80% of the NJGIT due on the return was not paid by April 17th she was penalized a total of 20% of the balance due for late filing/payment of tax (even though she filed a federal extension, which also applies to the state return, the state extension was rejected).

The client also had a balance due on a timely-filed 2005 NJ-1040, which was submitted online via NJWebFile to satisfy the requirement that I file all NJ full-year resident tax returns electronically. She paid the balance due with the filing of the return in March of 2006. As happened with every single taxpayer with a balance due who submitted their return via NJWebFile, the State of New Jersey erroneously re-billed the taxpayer in September for the balance due that she had already paid in March, plus interest. Contrary to my explicit written instructions to clients, she did not send me the billing notice she received from Trenton, but instead paid the amount requested without question.

I discovered the double-payment when she included the NJDOT notice with her 2006 “stuff”, and I emailed the Division of Taxation, with copies of both cancelled checks as “attachments”, to advise it of its FU. I received a relatively prompt response to my email stating that the matter had been taken care of and a refund of the erroneous overpayment would be sent to the client, which was done quite quickly (to my surprise).

When the refund check had been received, and I had reviewed the notices sent to the client to explain the amount of the refund, I sent the following email to the person with whom I had successfully dealt regarding the double-payment:

“Thank you for your prompt assistance in this matter. {The taxpayer} has received her refund check.

There is one issue that must be addressed before I can call a close to this matter:

(1) {The Taxpayer} was charged $40.85 for paying her $172.00 in NJ state income tax liability late - after the April 17th deadline. This is fine, and was expected under current NJ tax regulations.

(2) The State of New Jersey erroneously billed {The Taxpayer} for a tax liability that had already been paid on time, and charged her interest on this erroneous billing. The erroneously billed amount was paid by {the Taxpayer}. The State of New Jersey held on to this overpayment for almost a full year. The amount of the erroneous excess payment was refunded, BUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY DID NOT PAY THE TAXPAYER ANY INTEREST FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME THAT IT HELD ON TO HER MONEY ERRONEOUSLY.

If the taxpayer must pay the State interest when it pays late, why does the State not have to pay the taxpayer interest on an erroneous overpayment. When the taxpayer errs he/she is penalized. But when the State errs it is not penalized! WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE...

RDF”

In the process of resolving the specific double payment issue I received a prompt response to my email, and the issue was solved quickly. I sent the above email on Friday afternoon. As of this posting (Wed at 7:00 am) I have not received a reply.

Before going I must point out that with all my correspondence to the NJ Division of Taxation, going as far up as former Director Robert Thompson, I never received an apology from the Division for the agita their huge FU of re-billing NJWebFile filers for taxes already paid caused me or the taxpayers themselves. They never even acknowledged that this was a serious problem with the system.

1040 QUICKFINDER HANDBOOK VS THE TAX BOOK

The 1040 Quickfinder Handbook has been around for as long as I have been preparing 1040s – 35 years. I have been using this book for at least 17 years, based on the number of editions I have in my library. While I still get the CCH Master Tax Guide each year, lately as a gift from a broker-client, the Quickfinder Handbook has been my main source of tax research – my tax season “bible”.

.
As the website for the competing The Tax Book explains, “In December of 2003, Practitioner's Publishing Company (PPC), a division of Thomson Corporation, acquired the privately held Quickfinder company from a family in Minnesota {and, a pleasant surprise, did not in any way change what was a great product – rdf}. The success of Quickfinder up to that time was due in a significant part to the efforts of the Quickfinder editorial staff. At the time of acquisition, the entire Quickfinder editorial staff consisted of five authors. Initially, four of these authors signed on with PPC/Quickfinder, and continued writing for Quickfinder. In February of 2005, a new company called Tax Materials, Incorporated (TMI) opened its doors in Minnesota. The four authors who had been hired by PPC/Quickfinder after the acquisition separated from that company and rejoined their colleague. The group of five authors joined forces to create a new line of products called TheTaxBook series, competing with the PPC owned Quickfinder.

.
For the past two tax seasons I have purchased both the 1040 Quickfinder Handbook and The Tax Book. For tax year 2006 I purchased “The Tax Book – Deluxe Edition”, which combines 1040s, small business, and estate and trust items. The Quickfinder series does not have an equivalent combined book. The Quickfinder cost $46.40 and “The Tax Book” combined edition cost $71.00.

.
Both books have a selection of worksheets for taxable Social Security, capital gains calculations, itemized deduction and personal exemption phase-outs, calculating the student loan interest deduction and the Earned Income Credit, etc. These worksheets are very helpful to me and used frequently, especially since I prepare my nearly 400 Form 1040/1040As by hand and do not use any type of tax preparation software. I preferred The Tax Book worksheet in some instances and continued to use the Quickfinder forms in others.

.
Because of my history and familiarity with the Quickfinder book I admit that during the past two seasons this was my first source for looking up 1040 issues. I only referred to The Tax Book when I could not find what I wanted in Quickfinder, or I was looking for more detailed information than Quickfinder provided. In some cases I found additional information in The Tax Book and in others the basic information was the same.

.
It really does not pay to consistently purchase both books each year. For tax year 2007 I will again order both books, but will use The Tax Book as my first source so I can get a real comparison.

.
The website of each book provides updates, corrections and additions on a regular basis, and each site has a message board where tax professionals can discuss tax issues.

.
For purposes of this posting I have selected one “tab” in each book for a detailed comparison – Schedule A: Itemized Deductions.

.
1040 QUICKFINDER HANDBOOK: Schedule A and Schedule B are combined in the same “tab”. There are 21 pages devoted to Schedule A in the tab.

.
THE TAX BOOK: Schedule A has a tab all to itself. Schedule B is combined with Schedule D and Form 4797 in a tab titled “Investment Income”. There are 26 pages in the tab. The section begins with 2 pages of summary information, including a “New for 2006” listing, and a full page “Fair Market Value Guide for Used Items”. Each individual category of deduction starts off with a “Related Topics” listing of references to other tabs.

.
While the same general information is covered in both books, each covers some topics in more detail – i.e. Quickfinder has more on the deduction for Personal Property Tax. However it appears that, on the whole, The Tax Book provides more detailed information on the various Schedule A topics.

.
Each annual edition of Quickfinder is pretty much exactly the same. I expect that when preparing a new year’s version they take the prior year book and simply add, remove or edit the copy to reflect new developments, laws and regulations. When The Tax Book was created, by basically the same authors, I believe they updated the format to provide a more easy and appropriate flow of information.

.
From a first look it appears that The Tax Book is the “more better” value, especially the Deluxe Edition with tabs on corporations, partnerships, estates and trusts, exempt organization, and related issues. I pledge to from now through the end of the 2008 tax filing season use The Tax Book as my primary resource, with Quickfinder as the back-up, and let you know which product I prefer next May.

.
I welcome comments on your experiences with the Quickfinder Handbook and Tax Book products. I am aware that there are other similar products out there – I believe CCH has its own version – and would like to hear what you think about these other options.

MESSAGE BOARDS FOR TAX PROFESSIONALS

While I am glad, as a member of the National Association of Tax Professionals (you do not need to be a member to submit a tax question, nonmembers just pay more - $49.50 instead of $21.50 per answer), to have access to their Research Department to get answers to more detailed tax questions that arise in my practice, the cost of such answers has more than doubled in the past 5 or so years.

There are several message boards out there on the web that a tax preparer can use to pose a tax question to his/her “peers” without any charge. Here are some of them:

QUICKFINDER HANDBOOK / THE TAX BOOK – The websites for these tax research handbooks each have message boards.

ACCOUNTANTS WORLD - The various “discussion forums” are broken down into categories, and some categories are further broken down into “sub-categories”. For example, the TAXATION topic contains such separate forums as Business Taxation, Estates and Trusts, Exempt Organizations, General, Individual, International, Sales and Use, and State and Local Taxation, Payroll Taxes, Pension and Employee Benefits, etc.

ACCOUNTING WEB - Registered members may add their questions to the Questions and Advice area for other members to view and respond to. Registration is free.

TAX ALMANAC - This also has several categories, including Tax Questions, Accounting Questions and Tax Tips.

NATIONAL SOCIETY OF TAX PROFESSIONALS - The website of the NSTP has a “Web Board” in the Members Only section with a “Tax Room” category for tax questions.

The responses one will get from a message board are the individual opinions of other tax preparers on the topic and not necessarily definitive answers. Often the responses will provide tax code of other references to support their opinion. If you are considering a position that is open to interpretation it can be helpful to learn if other professionals share your opinion or have had experience in dealing with the IRS on the same or a similar situation.

One of the problems I have found in dealing with the NATP Tax Research Department is that, while they will provide well-documented information on the strict interpretation of tax topics, their answers are a bit “rigid” (if that is the right word) and do not take a stand or provide opinions on items open to interpretation. If I ask, “Do you think I can deduct this” they answer, “the Tax Code says this”. Responses on message boards, while not as authoritative or well-documented, are often more appropriate to the specific question – and respondents are not timid when it comes to expressing opinions.

In the past I have used the NSTP and Tax Almanac message boards once for the same tax question. I obviously got more responses from the Tax Almanac forum because the NSTP has 122 registered users. To be honest, the responses were only marginally helpful.

FYI, the National Society of Accounts also has a similar tax research department - NSA Tax Help Desk. However the NSA Tax Help Desk is a benefit available only to Active and Associate members. NSA Members get five (5) tax questions answered free, while NATP members get only one (1)!

I welcome your additions to the list of Message Boards, and would like to hear about your opinions of and experiences with the above or other Message Boards. You can submit a comment to this posting below, or you can email me at rdftaxpro@mail.com.

SON OF YEAR END TAX UPDATES

HAPPY LABOR DAY!

I just got my Summer 2007 issue of the NJ National Association of Tax Professionals newsletter in the mail on Saturday. I was pleased to read that the chapter and two of its former officers received several awards at the recent NATP National Conference in Las Vegas - including past-President Jean Millerchip for NATP “Tax Professional of the Year”. Congrats! The 2007 National Conference is one of the very few I have missed over the past 20 odd years as a member.

The newsletter included a flyer for the chapter’s 19th Annual Conference (8 CPE credits), to be held on Thursday, September 20th at the Woodbridge Hilton on 120 Wood Avenue South in Iselin (732-494-6200). The September seminar deals with federal tax issue, while the January seminar covers NJ, and sometimes NY and PA, state tax topics.

The program will be presented by the IRS Mid-Atlantic Stakeholder Liaison office. The keynote speaker will be Area Manager Brian M. Finn. The schedule includes presentations on

· FBAR (Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) {just one initial short of FUBAR- rdf}
· Scams,
· What’s New,
· OTBR (Office of Taxpayer Burden Reduction),
· The Tax Gap, and
· Ethics

The cost of the conference is $175.00 for members, $205.00 for nonmembers, and $313.00 for new members (includes one year membership in NATP) if your registration is postmarked before 9/7/07 (hey guys, that is not much notice!) and $215.00 for both members and nonmembers and $353.00 for new members if postmarked on or after 9/7/07 and at the door.

For more information call 856-546-7201 or 856-779-1714.

I will not be attending this conference. While I look forward to the state tax seminar each January, I usually skip the September federal tax seminar, as I get enough federal updates from the national organizations.

I will be glad to include comments on the conference from attendees in a future posting. You can email me at rdftaxpro@mail.com.
