SC Tax Return Season

SC Tax Return Season

South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) began accepting Individual Income Tax returns January 29, 2018.
Returns are due Tuesday, April 17, 2018.

Important information for this year’s filing season is included below. Additional information and resources are available on our website at dor.sc.gov/iit. This article is an excerpt from news@dor.sc.gov.

File Online – Save time.

The SCDOR reminds taxpayers that electronic filing is the most efficient and safest way to file.

“Approximately 87% of South Carolina taxpayers filed electronically in 2017,” said Hartley Powell, SCDOR Director. “We encourage all taxpayers to please consider the many benefits of electronic filing before deciding to file on paper.”

Electronic filing along with choosing direct deposit provides the safest, fastest way to file and receive due refunds. Electronic filing also helps prevent tax fraud, a growing national problem the SCDOR continues to work vigorously to combat.

Taxpayers can learn more about the many available electronic filing options on our website at dor.sc.gov/iit-filing including free electronic filing for eligible taxpayers through the Free File Alliance. Taxpayers can complete and submit simple Individual Income Tax returns online with SC Fillable Forms starting January 29, 2018.

Tax Fraud

The SCDOR is committed to keeping your tax refund safe from fraudsters, and our anti-fraud measures remain aggressive. If you receive an SCDOR letter requesting verification of a return or additional information, please know this is for anti-fraud purposes and may delay some refunds. Your prompt response is appreciated.

If you suspect a refund has been fraudulently requested on your behalf, complete and submit the IRS Identity Theft Affidavit Form 14039 and call the SCDOR’s dedicated customer care line at 1-803-898-7638. Protect your personal information from fraudsters, and review security tips available on our website.

A Range of Services for Your IRS Problems

IRS Tax Audit
Let Joe Arndt and IRS Away help you with your IRS problems.

IRS Problems come in all shapes and sizes. When you find yourself in the middle of an IRS action, you will need the services of an attorney skilled and practiced in Tax Controversy Representation and Resolution. The Law Offices of Joseph M. Arndt, III P.A. can offer you legal guidance, representation and resolution for a variety of IRS tax problems, including:

IRS Problem 1: Audits

Remember, the location of the audit is a good indication of how serious your IRS problems may be. A “by mail” audit may simply request for missing documents. A “come into the IRS office” audit may be looking for unreported income or improper deductions. An “in your home” audit is the most serious, and includes a thorough investigation of your home and belongings. Regardless of the severity, you should take any audit seriously, and seek the professional help of Tax attorney Joseph M. Arndt and IRS Away!

IRS Problem 2: Collection on Your Debt

When you run into IRS problems, and owe back taxes and penalties, they will usually accept some kind of payment arrangement. What are the conditions you must meet to qualify for an IRS payment plan? What are the restrictions? Will the payment plan “freeze” the amount of your obligation, or will penalties keep accruing? There are many, many important questions. And the IRS often does not explain these details to you. This is when you must rely on expert legal representation to explain the IRS collection process and help negotiate the terms of your agreement. Count on tax attorney Joe Ardnt and IRS Away to explain your IRS tax collection options.

IRS Problem 3: Tax Liens

These are IRS problems that hit you right in the credit report! IRS tax liens make it difficult to get an auto or home loan, and they attach to the loans you already have. You can’t sell or transfer titles with liens attached, nor can you borrow against the principal. Avoiding an IRS tax lien, and finding your way forward when one has been levied, are two areas where tax attorney Joe Arndt and IRS Away can help.

Get Help with Your IRS Problems

These are just a few of the many IRS problems that tax attorney Joseph M. Arndt and IRS Away can help you deal with. The list includes problems such as tax levies, State of South Carolina tax problems, wage and bank account seizures and many more. You can find a more complete list of IRS Problems on our Legal Services page.

Experts: Link Possible Between 2012 SC Hacking, Tax Fraud

Experts: Link Possible Between 2012 SC Hacking, Tax Fraud

COLUMBIA – Some cyber security experts believe much of the tax fraud hitting states, including South Carolina, is the result of the theft of personal information through hacking.

And two experts told The Greenville News that it is possible the massive hacking of South Carolina’s tax agency over two years ago may be playing some role in the spike in potentially fraudulent returns that caused the state last week to switch to paper checks for state tax refunds.
