    I have two key areas of tax practice. First is resolution for those who are stressed out from a taxing authority. Second, tax advisory to keep you from becoming stressed out over taxes (and authorities). Unlike some heavily marketed and pressure tax resolution services, I charge a fee to review your facts and circumstances to know in advance what your chances are to obtain any given resolution, including Offer In Compromise and Installment Agreements, INSTEAD of charging clients for the entire fee, only to have most of the applications rejected. My goal is to work with you as your advocate, and not attempt to pressure sell you solutions without even knowing what is your best option. My tax focus is on small business and rental property owners, and helping my clients keep more after tax income. I'm successful when my clients are successful.

Q. Can a landlord bill me for cleaning 44 days after our lease ended and we received our nearly full security deposit?
A: Generally, a landlord is required to provide an itemized statement of deductions from a security deposit and/or return the security deposit within 21 days. That said, if you caused more than normal 'wear and tear,' (ie caused stains on carpet, which you state you did not), it's possible to receive a bill after 21 days (for example, you received your security deposit, or at least some of it, back, albeit the landlord wasn't able to obtain a service within the 21 days, so they billed you after the fact), however, you should have still received an itemization of the deduction with potentially an unknown amount. That said, tenants are allowed to cause normal 'wear and tear' (that's what you're paying rent for), and landlords are not allowed to charge 'extra' beyond rent for such use. Depending on what communication you received within the required 21 day time after vacating would indicate what the next course of action should be, including ignoring, or responding. ... Read More
Q. My employer gave me two different 1099 one with the wrong ss # and decided to file my taxes without my permission
A: You have a few issues here. First, and maybe most important is it's generally illegal to sign another's original tax return without proper authorization. You may wish to contact the IRS and the identity theft department regarding another filing your tax return, or speak to an attorney regarding the matter.

Next, "employers" don't issue 1099's to employees. If you're an employee, you should be issued a W2 for the year in question, so either you were not given the proper tax form, or you're a subcontractor of the business. Depending on your status, your rights will vary with your best resolution. In California, many former subcontractors are now considered employees by statute. Without knowing the facts to your situation, it's impossible to know with any certainty what your status is, and/or what it should be. ... Read More
