IRS Provides Tax Relief to Victims of Hurricane Sandy; Return Filing and Tax Payment Deadline Extended to Feb. 1, 2013

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Internal Revenue Service announced additional tax relief to affected individuals and businesses.

Following recent disaster declarations for individual assistance issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the IRS announced today that affected taxpayers in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York will receive tax relief. Other locations may be added in coming days based on additional damage assessments by FEMA.The tax relief postpones various tax filing and payment deadlines that occurred starting in late October.  As a result, affected individuals and businesses will have until Feb. 1, 2013 to file these returns and pay any taxes due. This includes the fourth quarter individual estimated tax payment, normally due Jan. 15, 2013. It also includes payroll and excise tax returns and accompanying payments for the third and fourth quarters, normally due on Oct. 31, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2013 respectively. It also applies to tax-exempt organizations required to file Form 990 series returns with an original or extended deadline falling during this period.

The IRS will abate any interest, late-payment or late-filing penalty that would otherwise apply. The IRS automatically provides this relief to any taxpayer located in the disaster area. Taxpayers need not contact the IRS to get this relief. Beyond the relief provided by law to taxpayers in the FEMA-designated counties, the IRS will work with any taxpayer who resides outside the disaster area but whose books, records or tax professional are located in the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. All workers assisting the relief activities in the covered disaster areas who are affiliated with a recognized government or philanthropic organization are eligible for relief.  Taxpayers who live outside of the impacted area and think they may qualify for this relief need to contact the IRS at 866-562-5227.

In addition, the IRS is waiving failure-to-deposit penalties for federal payroll and excise tax deposits normally due on or after the disaster area start date and before Nov. 26, if the deposits are made by Nov. 26, 2012. Details on available relief can be found on the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.

The tax relief is part of a coordinated federal response to the damage caused by the hurricane and is based on local damage assessments by FEMA. For information on disaster recovery, individuals should visit disasterassistance.gov.

The IRS also assures taxpayers, businesses and tax preparers that IRS is working aggressively to monitor the situation and provide additional relief as needed.

So far, IRS filing and payment relief applies to the following localities:

In Connecticut (starting Oct. 27): Fairfield, Middlesex, New Haven, and New London Counties and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Mohegan Tribal Nation located within New London County;

In New Jersey (starting Oct. 26): Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Somerset and Union;

In New York (starting Oct. 27): Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester.

Best Way To Pay Excise Tax – EFTPS

When it comes to paying taxes, the best way is that which makes mutual convenience the pivot of the whole process. Computers and the internet have travelled a long way in comforting us, yet, are tirelessly moving forward each day. One of their prime destinations of comfort for U.S. taxpayers is the EFTPS (The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System).

You don’t have to worry about getting caught in phishing scams and being fooled by other internet villains. So what features benefit taxpayers from inside EFTPS?

Assured Safety

A combination of unique information such as Taxpayer Identification Number (EIN or SSN), EFTPS Personal Identification Number (PIN) and an Internet Password authenticates a user as an enrolled user. This allows him/her to access the payment route inside EFTPS and adds to the security of the site and the privacy of taxpayer data.

Tax2290.com – Trucker’s Best Friend

Have you ever wondered how important Time is for anyone who is in the Trucking Industry. Recently met a old friend of mine, who is a Truck Driver we had a short chat. He was accompanied by his fellow Trucker and that’s when I realized how hectic their lives are.

Trucking is not a typically scheduled job, chaotic would be a more accurate description. Too many variables weather, loading and unloading delays, appointments, breakdowns, traffic, etc., Also depends on what you haul, Flat beds don’t usually get unloaded at night. Most shipping hubs are 24/7 but not all receivers.

My friend over the chat said “Some days I feel the need to stop every 200 miles. Some days I drive for 11 hours straight. It all depends on the urgency of the load and my bodily functions.  It may seem like you’re just dipping into that truck stop or gas station for a quick soda, but make sure you add in the time it takes you to find a place to park and get to the door, even if it’s only at the fuel island. In a car it can take one minute. In a truck it can take 5. When you stop some place, it may only seem like a short 15 minute stop, but then think how far down the road you would be if you hadn’t stopped.”

So Considering the fact that Truck Owners and Drivers have very less time to spend with their family, think how sad it would be if they are asked to stand in a long Queue in an IRS Office to file their HVUT Tax Form 2290, Which will take at least a day. Most annoying part is the confusing Tax calculations involved.

Tax preparers take advantage of e-file options – IRS Recommends!

Taxpayer Assistance Centers Service Changes for 2012 Filing Season

Beginning this year, IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers generally will not accept bulk returns for processing and mailing, particularly when it affects taxpayer services. The IRS hopes to eliminate the practice of taxpayer representatives dropping off completed returns for processing, especially during peak operating periods.

The intent of this policy change is not to limit assistance to taxpayers or their authorized representatives. Nor is it intended to limit taxpayer representatives’ visits to support their clients, particularly in situations where the taxpayer is facing financial harm or undue hardship, such as delinquent returns or to start or stop an installment agreement. It is designed, primarily, to stop the practice of dropping off returns solely for processing and mailing when the returns can be mailed directly to the IRS processing center. The TACs will accept returns with imminent statute implications, with remittances or other situations where it’s in the best interest of the taxpayer and the Service to accept them.

Local TAC managers have the authority to make exceptions to this policy and will accept drop off returns if, in their opinion, tax preparation and other customer account services are not impacted.

The IRS encourages all tax preparers to take advantage of available e-file options to file returns electronically to avoid the need to have returns accepted and mailed at the local Taxpayer Assistance Center. IRS has also mandated e-filing for taxpayers with 25 or more vehicles with registered gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more.
