Tax Planning – Forward Thinking Solution Based Tax Planning Can Prevent January Tax Issues
Are you ready for a productive Tax Planning Season with knowledge & understanding of how to plan for your Tax Preparation in January? With a little planning this fall, you too can save money on your taxes in the Spring.
Recently, I had a tax client come by after she received a letter from IRS. She was understandably concerned, but her manner was rude, full of entitlement, & demanding. I responded to her rude demands with polite & courteous answers, & spent many hours on the phone researching her problem. On many occasions during the process of answering her questions, I had to call & ask for many more information, each time she got ruder & more demanding.
Almost every contact ended with her hanging up in my ear. Have you ever NOT recognized the sound of a phone slamming in your ear? When I contacted IRS for the second time, I asked for the same person on the other end & we were laughing about the plight of tax payers who demand answers rudely, without any comprehension of the value of polite courtesies. There is more. The IRS Agent mentioned that most Tax problems could actually be solved with polite phone calls to IRS, courteous responses, & a sense of presence & understanding for the other person.
The Agent commented that she had worked with her share of rude Tax Agents too, so rude, demanding telephone manners (or the lack of manners) isn’t limited to Tax Payers. There is more. Then we had a light bulb moment, each of us commenting on what happens when the Agent & the Payer are both rude, demanding people with no manners? EXPLOSIVE SITUATION SITED!
A little forward thinking Tax Planning can solve most tax issues, but when you can not plan ahead, or realize too late that you did not plan ahead, remember to be courteous, polite, & friendly. You never know when the IRS Agent on the other end of the phone may have already talked to one Rude person.
