A Tax Department investigation determined that between March 2015 and August 2017 Abdelaziz received money from business owners and filed sales tax returns on their behalf. However, he underreported sales or reported zero gross sales and instead pocketed the sales tax payments his clients entrusted him to remit on their behalf. “We will continue to aggressively pursue unscrupulous tax preparers who betray the trust of clients and deprive communities and the state of revenue needed for vital services,” said New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Michael Schmidt. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said, “Tax preparers who cheat don’t only shortchange their clients, but effectively steal from all of us. They must be held accountable and pay restitution to victims. My Office will continue to work with our partners to prosecute tax fraud and other forms of larceny schemes.” Abdelaziz and The Five Pillars Financial Services, LTD, paid more than $191,000 in restitution. The payment includes the forfeiture of more than $6,700 that was seized as part of a search warrant executed by the Tax Department. Both Abdelaziz and his corporation are also prohibited from providing tax preparation services of any kind for one year.</span></p><p style="font-family: Times; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 9.95pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="n module-type-text diyfeLiveArea " style="padding: 5px;"><p style="color: #757575; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong style="color: black; font-family: -webkit-standard;"><span style="color: #f44336;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Specializing in COVID-19 Related Tax Problems</span></span></span></strong> <span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Free consultation (in person or telephonic) with Federal Tax Practitioner, CPCU and Attorney.</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Our offices are conveniently located in New York City</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">and emergency appointments are always available.

Adel Kellel, 63, of New Hyde Park, New York, the owner of Raffles Bistro, formerly a restaurant located in New York City, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for tax evasion by U.S. District Court Judge Paul G. Gardephe. “All taxpayers have an obligation to honestly report their income and pay their share of taxes,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard E. Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax Division. “For those who attempt to avoid these obligations and cheat the IRS, as this sentence shows, there are serious consequences.” “Adel Kellel cooked his books to conceal income from the IRS and his own accountants,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss for the Southern District of New York. “He spent the ill-gotten gains on personal luxuries like a Mercedes, a Porsche, and a Maserati. Now he will spend two years in federal prison.” “The accurate reporting of income is an important responsibility of all business professionals,” said IRS-Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Jonathan D. Larsen. “In this case, Adel Kellel attempted to evade his taxes by diverting funds for personal use and failing to report substantial gross receipts. IRS-Criminal Investigation will continue to serve the American taxpayer by investigating individuals who hide their true income from the IRS.” According to the allegations contained in the information to which Kellel pled guilty, documents filed in court, and statements made in court: In 2011, Kellel was the President and a 45 percent owner of K&H Restaurant Inc. (K&H), which operated Raffles Bistro (Raffles), a coffee-shop and full service restaurant then located in a Manhattan hotel (the Hotel). From 2012 through 2015, Kellel was the 100 percent owner of K&H. From 2011 to 2015, Kellel filed false personal returns and corporate returns for K&H, and evaded his taxes by diverting and failing to report substantial gross receipts to the IRS For example, as part of his tax evasion scheme, Kellel diverted over 150 hotel checks, totaling over $2.1 million or approximately 43 percent of the Hotel payments K&H received by check, and then hid the gross receipts from his accountants and the IRS by depositing the checks into more than a dozen undisclosed bank accounts. These included personal accounts that Kellel held either individually or jointly with his wife, as well as accounts held in the name of K&H, some of which were opened solely to have an additional place to deposit diverted checks. Kellel also diverted substantial cash income received from Raffles’ customers, a portion of which he deposited into personal bank accounts or spent directly on personal expenses, again, without disclosing to his accountants or paying taxes. Kellel used the diverted income for personal expenses, including overseas transfers; condominium fees; rent for a high-end Manhattan apartment; college tuition payments for his children; luxury retailers, such as Hugo Boss and Saks Fifth Avenue; Mercedes, Porsche, and Maserati vehicles; and domestic and international travel. On Jan. 24, 2020, Kellel pled guilty to one count of tax evasion relating to the 2011 to 2015 tax years. In total, Kellel caused a combined tax loss of at least approximately $771,195 to the IRS and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (NYSDTF). In addition to the sentence of imprisonment, the court ordered Kellel to pay restitution of $613,478 to the IRS and $157,717 to NYSDTF. Kellel was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release after completing his jail sentence. Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Zuckerman and U.S. Attorney Strauss praised the efforts of IRS-CI in the investigation. Trial Attorney Jorge Almonte of the Tax Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Olga I. Zverovich are in charge of the prosecution.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Alte Schwabacher"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 48px;">Don’t Let This Happen To You<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #0688d1; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Selig & Associates</span></b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Free consultation (in person or telephonic) with Federal Tax Practitioner, CPCU and Attorney.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Our offices are conveniently located in New York City</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">and emergency appointments are always available.

According to court documents and statements made in court, the fast-talking salesman was an “automobile industry consultant” which is a highfaluting way of saying he sold automobile warranties (which isn’t a crime). The nitty-gritty down and dirty happened when he stopped filing tax returns and started attending “Tax Defier” meetings. Apparently, he was so excited about what he heard, that he purchased “Tax Defier” materials, and taking it to heart, began using Nevada nominee corporations to receive his income [and] more importantly, to use those shady Nevada corporations to conceal his income from the IRS. <o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="n module-type-header diyfeLiveArea " style="caret-color: rgb(117, 117, 117); color: #757575; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><h2 style="color: #535353; font-size: 31.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="diyfeDecoration"><br /></span></h2><h2 style="color: #535353; font-size: 31.5px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="diyfeDecoration">Tax Representation </span></h2><div><span class="diyfeDecoration"><br /></span></div></div><div class="n module-type-imageSubtitle diyfeLiveArea " style="caret-color: rgb(117, 117, 117); color: #757575; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="clearover imageSubtitle imageFitWidth" id="imageSubtitle-7126282675" style="min-width: 30px; overflow: hidden; width: 425px;"><div class="align-container align-left" style="float: left; max-width: 900px; width: 425px;"><a class="imagewrapper" href="https://www.selignyc.com/s/cc_images/teaserbox_4108963121.JPG?t=1603899165" rel="lightbox[7126282675]" style="color: #2c74ed; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" id="image_4108963121" src="https://www.selignyc.com/s/cc_images/cache_4108963121.JPG?t=1603899165" style="border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 900px; text-align: center; width: 425px;" /></a></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #171e24; font-family: "Century Schoolbook"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"></span></p><div class="n module-type-text diyfeLiveArea " style="caret-color: rgb(117, 117, 117); color: #757575; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-size: medium; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Specializing in unpaid sales and payroll withholding taxes.

Employee leasing is the practice of contracting with outside businesses to handle all administrative, personnel, and payroll concerns for employees. In some instances, employee-leasing companies fail to pay over to the IRS any portion of the collected employment taxes. These taxes are often spent by the owners on business or personal expenses. Often the company dissolves, leaving millions in employment taxes unpaid.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Paying Employees in Cash<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Paying employees, whole or partially, in cash is a common method of evading income and employment taxes resulting in lost tax revenue to the government and the loss or reduction of future social security or Medicare benefits for the employee.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Filing False Payroll Tax Returns or Failing to File Payroll Tax Returns<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Preparing false payroll tax returns understating the amount of wages on which taxes are owed, or failing to file employment tax returns are methods commonly used to evade employment taxes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Arial; font-size: 26.5pt;">Tax Representation<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Specializing in unpaid sales and payroll withholding tax problems.

They generally do not recognize the authority of Federal, State or local governments, and renounce their obligation to adhere to the laws, policies or regulations created by those governments. Since the 1990s, the IRS and Treasury Inspector General have been investigating illegal activities that pose direct threats to the IRS and its operations by individuals who identify themselves as Sovereign Citizens. Sovereign citizens often utilize fictitious financial instruments in attempts to satisfy legitimate debts. Sovereign citizens will often file liens against the real or personal property of Federal employees - tax officials or law enforcement officers, for example - in retaliation for those individuals’ performance of their official duties. Liens have also been filed against federal judges when those judges. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></p><h2 align="center" style="break-after: avoid-page; color: #4f81bd; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span class="diyfedecoration"><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Arial; font-size: 26.5pt;">Tax Representation</span></span><span style="color: #535353; font-family: Arial; font-size: 26.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">We represent individuals, businesses and entrepreneurs before the Internal Revenue Service and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax Division. According to the indictment, the New Yorker filed false tax returns with the assistance of a return preparer. From 2011 through 2019, the New Yorker and others prepared and filed false returns through two tax preparation firms that reported significant tax withholdings based on fictitious Forms 1099-OID, in an effort to fraudulently obtain refunds from the IRS. The Forms 1099-OID falsely reported that financial institutions, creditors, and other entities had withheld federal income tax, when in reality no such taxes had been withheld.

Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax Division. </span><span style="color: #171e24; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">According to court-filed documents, the businessman filed a 2006 individual income tax return reporting adjusted gross income of $1,502,749 and total tax due of $486,438. He did not pay all of the tax due and was assessed penalties and interest. In an effort to continue receiving income but to make it appear as if he did not have income or assets, the businessman used three nominee corporations to conduct his business and purchase assets. Between approximately 2010 and 2016, in an effort to further evade paying money owed on his taxes, the businessman filed four false bankruptcy petitions. Each of these petitions listed the IRS as a creditor. During the course of his bankruptcies, the businessman made false statements and filed fraudulent documents in which he concealed his ownership interests in the nominee corporations. As a result of the businessman actions, he caused a tax loss of approximately $1,360,682 to the IRS.</span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #03579b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;">New York City Tax Advocates</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> <o:p></o:p></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #b71c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">If your business owes sales tax you need to take immediate action</span></em><o:p></o:p></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"> <o:p></o:p></p><p style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Selig & Associates zealously represents individuals and businesses before the Internal Revenue Service <em><span style="font-style: normal;">("IRS")</span></em> and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. </span><span style="color: #03579b; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">*</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">We specialize in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #d32f2f; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Sales Tax Audits</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>unpaid </span><span style="color: #d32f2f; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Income</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Taxes;<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>unpaid<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #d32f2f; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Sales</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Taxes<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>[and]<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: #d32f2f; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Payroll</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">Tax Problems.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Negotiating reasonable tax settlements and affordable repayment plans for small business owners since 2006.

Maurice Hicks, Jr. ordered him to one year of supervised release and to pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $1,904,477.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Are you in trouble with the IRS?</span></span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #03579b;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">New York City Tax Advocates</span></span></span></strong></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #b71c1c;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If your business was adversely affected by COVID-19</span></span></span></em></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #b71c1c;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">you need to take immediate action</span></span></span></em></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #b71c1c;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></em></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_PIDOKk5E3VqFR4PqfWYvkWBKLOPbrW_RVGi-KVavWbmrZVx8k3qZkXcfdpcLEjpXokIVK5ErvAKDCaW7dVY9hrn91Y2PI-Ms3umkvFr4zvwbLU-QhDTVNNMF8TnHtBkCHel8zSX334H/s698/DS+Sept+21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="698" data-original-width="576" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_PIDOKk5E3VqFR4PqfWYvkWBKLOPbrW_RVGi-KVavWbmrZVx8k3qZkXcfdpcLEjpXokIVK5ErvAKDCaW7dVY9hrn91Y2PI-Ms3umkvFr4zvwbLU-QhDTVNNMF8TnHtBkCHel8zSX334H/w208-h252/DS+Sept+21.jpg" width="208" /></a></em></div><em><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></em><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Selig & Associates zealously represents individuals, businesses and entrepreneurs before the Internal Revenue Service</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">("IRS") and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. *We specialize in sales tax audits, unpaid income taxes; unpaid sales taxes [and] payroll tax problems.

Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and U.S. Attorney David DeVillers for the Southern District. According to documents and information provided to the court, from 2007 until his client died, the attorney advised and assisted his client in legal matters relating to the operation of his medical clinics. At the time, the attorney specialized in tax law. Around 2010, the IRS audited the doctor’s medical entities. In response to an IRS revenue officer’s request for documentation supporting the entities’ claimed clinical equipment depreciation deductions, the attorney provided false “bills of sale” purporting to support the deductions, but which in fact falsely inflated the value of the equipment. At the same time that the attorney provided these inflated values to the IRS, he provided contradictory valuation information to third parties. In 2011, the lawyer filed petitions in U.S. Tax Court challenging the IRS’s determination that some of the audited entities owed additional taxes. The case was ultimately settled with an agreement that approximately $608,583 was due. When the IRS revenue officer attempted to collect the settlement amount in 2014, the attorney frustrated the IRS’s collection efforts by falsely representing that the relevant entities were defunct with no assets. In all, the lawyer caused a tax loss of $513,960 to the United States. Ultimately, he pled guilty to corruptly endeavoring to impede and obstruct the IRS and the Supreme Court suspended license to practice law. As for the client, he pled guilty to drug, tax, and fraud charges, but died before sentencing in that case. In addition to the term of imprisonment, U.S. District Judge Michael H. Watson ordered the former lawyer to serve 3 years of supervised release. Restitution to the government has already been paid using funds seized from the deceased client/doctor. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Are you in trouble with the IRS?</span></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Selig & Associates zealously represents individuals<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">, businesses and entrepreneurs </span>before the Internal <span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Revenue Service and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. </span><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">Specializing in sales tax audit representation and unpaid income, sales and payroll taxes</span>.

Between September 1, 2013 and May 31, 2017 he collected $199,491 in sales tax from his customers and failed to file sales tax returns and ultimately remit that money, as required by law, to New York State. “Sales tax dollars fund vital public services. When that money is diverted instead for personal gain, it hurts the communities that need it most — especially in the midst of a global pandemic,” said New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Mike Schmidt. “We will continue to work with all levels of law enforcement to hold those accountable for tax crimes against New Yorkers”. </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "Century Schoolbook";">On September 18<sup>th </sup>2020, David Selig <a href="https://www.selignyc.com/?logout=1" target="_blank">[of Selig & Associates]</a> said that had he been representing the BBQ Restaurant, the matter may have been resolved differently. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Century Schoolbook";"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b75VGW0gX3w" width="320" youtube-src-id="b75VGW0gX3w"></iframe></div><br /><span style="color: red; font-family: "Century Schoolbook";"><br /></span><p></p>Payroll & Sales Tax & Workers Comp Audit Representationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18319405522155968438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184723524256863208.post-28115520962686410142020-09-11T14:30:00.001-07:002020-09-11T14:32:04.734-07:00Married Couple Sentenced to 33 Months Prison for Falsifying Tax Returns<p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #171e24;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">A business owner and his wife have been sentenced for federal tax violations in the Eastern District, announced the U.S. Attorney. In February 2020, <s>Dick Brocato, Jr., 68</s>, and his wife, <s>Judith L. Brocato, 65,</s> were convicted by a jury of conspiracy to defraud the United States for purposes of impeding the government functions of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the collection of income tax and six counts of making and submitting false tax returns on both their personal and business for 2012-2014. The <s>Brocatos</s> were each sentenced to 33 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Marcia Crone. They were also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $617,762 to the IRS and fines of $15,000 each.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #171e24;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">According to information presented in court, the <s>Brocatos</s> owned a lawn service company, which was operated as an S Corporation for tax purposes. The <s>Brocatos</s> were the sole shareholders of the company, and <s>Judith Brocato</s> served as corporate president, maintaining the books and records of the corporation, and signing the corporate tax returns in that capacity. The <s>Brocatos</s> conspired to defraud the United States for the purpose of impeding, impairing, and obstructing, the lawful government functions of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the ascertainment, computation, assessment, and collection of federal income and other taxes for years 2012, 2013, and 2014. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #171e24;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #171e24;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As part of that conspiracy, they filed false corporate and personal income tax returns for years 2012, 2013, and 2014. To facilitate the scheme, the <s>Brocatos</s> cashed numerous checks from customers instead of depositing them into the company accounts. They then underreported the income by failing to report the cash income amount on the various tax returns. According to the indictment, the underreported income amounted to $503,281 in 2012, $687,534 in 2013, and $513,498 in 2014. A federal grand jury returned an indictment on Sep. 4, 2019 charging <s>Dick and Judith Brocato</s> with tax violations.</span></span></p><p align="center" style="line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b71c1c;"><strong><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></strong></span></p><p align="center" style="line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b71c1c;"><strong></strong></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7f8PCjQx2fhSF-qIJbPCY4qJxaduV6KWLH-qYPN5qehtKLzdg3kpG_uZQPeIDHhVohFbhWpP-8lOnSWAGrieu9LO3195nA_JXmpODBSOtnq2ceTTgowYRxJOl0dkwIAE61oseSp4ZsvBf/s715/NEW+PHOTO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="551" data-original-width="715" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7f8PCjQx2fhSF-qIJbPCY4qJxaduV6KWLH-qYPN5qehtKLzdg3kpG_uZQPeIDHhVohFbhWpP-8lOnSWAGrieu9LO3195nA_JXmpODBSOtnq2ceTTgowYRxJOl0dkwIAE61oseSp4ZsvBf/s320/NEW+PHOTO.jpg" width="320" /></a></strong></div><strong><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></strong><p></p><p align="center" style="line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b71c1c;"><strong><span style="font-family: georgia;">Civil & Criminal Tax Representation</span></strong></span></p><p style="line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p><p style="line-height: 24pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Selig & Associates represents individuals<span style="background-color: white;">, businesses and entrepreneurs </span>before the Internal Revenue Service and New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

Lee, currently CI's deputy chief and a 25-year veteran of the organization, will succeed current Chief Don Fort, who announced last month he will retire on September 30 2020. "Jim brings a quarter-century of Criminal Investigation management and field experience into this key enforcement role," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "Jim is highly respected throughout the IRS and will continue long-standing working relationships with the civil enforcement functions of the IRS as well as with the Department of Justice's Tax Division and tax prosecutors throughout the country. He understands the need to support compliant taxpayers by maintaining a strong, robust enforcement effort focused on those who are compliance challenged." As Chief, CI, Lee will lead the IRS's criminal enforcement efforts to investigate tax code violations and other related financial crimes such as money laundering, public corruption, cybercrimes, identity theft, narcotics and terrorist-financing. Prior to serving as Deputy Chief of CI, he served as the Director of Field Operations, Northern Area where he oversaw CI enforcement programs in the Boston, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Philadelphia Field Offices. He also previously served in executive roles as the Director of Field Operations, Southern Area and the Director, Strategy. Lee began his IRS CI career in 1995 as a special agent in Detroit. He moved into the CI leadership ranks and has held positions of increasing responsibility throughout his career including Supervisory Special Agent in the New Orleans Field Office; Headquarters Senior Analyst in the International and Financial Crimes Sections; Assistant Special Agent in Charge within the Boston Field Office; and Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans Field Office and later the Chicago Field Office.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;"> </span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #b71c1c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.5pt;">Experienced Tax Advocates</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #a9a8a8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span></strong><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Selig & Associates provides New Yorkers with the most aggressive tax representation allowed by law.

These companies are commonly called “Tax Resolution Firms” and in all likelihood, the person you spoke with is not an Accountant or Attorney, but rather, is a commissioned salesperson who found your name on a tax lien list. <sup style="background-color: yellow;">Federal Tax Liens are published and sold to the public</sup>. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.2pt; line-height: 36px;">Commissioned salespeople are not bound by </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">the <b></b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 36px;">regulations that govern practice before the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) </span><sup><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 36px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Treasury Department Circular No. 230, Title 31 Code of Federal Regulations, Subtitle A, Part 10.

Now here’s where things get difficult – in order to successfully reduce your tax debts and penalties, you must have legal standing. Moreover, you must simultaneously satisfy the burden of proof and burden of persuasion requirement. Said plainly, “hard luck stories may be good for your friends and family, but they won’t cut it with the IRS”. In reality, Tax Representation is deceptively complex, and a little knowledge is extremely dangerous. For example, an Offer in Compromise is easy to say – but difficult to achieve. That’s why smart people hire experienced Accountants and Attorneys. But what about those grandiose claims that every Tax Resolution Firm makes, like: Joe Blow owed the IRS $100,000 and settled for $500 – well Sunshine, poor Joe Blow probably lives in a homeless shelter and has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. </span><span style="background-color: white;">What you should have taken away from this article: </span></span></div>

Such amounts also won't be includible in the income of the recipient. The same is true of alimony paid under a divorce or separation instrument executed before 2019 and modified after 2018, if the modification expressly states that the alimony isn't deductible to the payer or includible in the income of the recipient.</span><span style="font-family: "century schoolbook"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century schoolbook";"><b><span style="color: red;">Just the Facts</span></b><span style="color: #221e1f;"> Depending on the length of your miserable marriage [which crashed, burned, and ended in divorce] you may be required to make Alimony or Separate Maintenance payments to your Ex-spouse for a long and unpleasant period following your “not so amicable divorce”. </span></span><span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "century schoolbook";">On the lighter side, if you had a short-term marriage, </span><i style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "Century Schoolbook";">viz</i><span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "century schoolbook";">. the fabled “starter marriage” the period for which you’ll be ponying over these payments is usually nonexistent or alternatively, reasonably short (and a very good indication of your divorce attorneys skill </span><span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "century schoolbook";">or serious lack thereof</span><span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "century schoolbook";">). </span><span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "century schoolbook";">Conversely, after suffering the indignity that comes from dissolving a "long-term marriage" you may be required to fork over alimony payments for as long as your Ex-spouse lives [or remarries] but don’t count on the latter happening because the marriage market for post-wall 2 and 3 time losers is worse than abysmal, that is to say, it's nonexistent. </span></div>

<span style="color: #221e1f; font-family: "century schoolbook";">Dealing with today’s Tax Law: The old rules were reasonable inasmuch as they allowed the “Payor” <i>a/k/a </i>Big Daddy Warbucks, to deduct his/<sup>her </sup>alimony payments from his/<sup>her </sup>Gross Income. But that’s all over Rover. In fact, the amounts you'll be paying in alimony or separate maintenance payments under a divorce or separation agreement (executed after 2018) are no longer deductible by the Payer (that's you) or taxable to the recipient (that's her). It's just like the tax treatment of child support. And given the exponential proliferation of unwed and single mommies, and the importance of their vote, child support payments are not [and will never be] deductible by the Payer (you) or taxable to the recipient (her). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Workers compensation premiums will likely drop as employment declines, according to a report released Monday by the National Council on Compensation Insurance. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">In the past month, more than 22 million unemployment claims have been filed due to the coronavirus, and this significant drop in payroll will have an impact on the workers compensation industry’s premiums, as well as injury rates and claim frequency, reported Boca Raton, Florida-based NCCI in its</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; outline: 0px;">Economic Impacts of Coronavirus on Workers Compensation</em><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">quarterly briefing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">The hospitality, entertainment, travel and retail industries have suffered the most severe economic impacts. However, these businesses tend to have lower premium rates per employee. Although some businesses, such as grocery, medical supply and home delivery are seeing their demand surge, any new hires are insignificant compared with employment losses in other sectors, according to the report.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; outline: 0px;">

<div style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">For current claims, the diversion of medical resources may extend the length of a claim, increasing indemnity and medical costs. If an injured worker is furloughed, that may also impact indemnity severity for active comp claims. Workers may also defer claims for nonacute injuries, or if they fear permanent job loss be more likely to report these types of injuries, the NCCI report said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 26.666664123535156px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt; outline: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px;">Another potential effect for workers comp is whether coronavirus will be considered compensable — an issue “likely to be interpreted differently in different states,” according to the report.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
