  • Dan Pilla: Whats in the Big Bad Bill?

    53:28|
    Guest, Dan Pilla of www.TaxHelpOnline.com explains the most common "GOTCHA" TAX reporting mistakes that people make. The tax code is SO huge, that most agents couldn't possibly know all the law. Plus, they don't go by the "law", they go by the tax manual. The decisions of tax auditors are NEVER final. You always have the write to appeal. The appeals office is tasked with trying to negotiate a settlement. Still not final. After that, you can take it to tax court and have it heard. The higher up the ladder you go in the IRS, the better chance you have of an accurate and fair assessment.
