Inside the Protection Tax Legitimate Intake Structure
Protection Tax's intake system ensures IRS compliance by verifying transcripts and financials, reducing client risk and preventing unsupported tax claims.
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, April 14, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- The intake process at Protection Tax is designed to meet both legal requirements and professional ethics. Internally referred to as the Protection Tax legitimate intake system, this protocol ensures each case begins with a full review of the client's IRS transcript data.
Before any tax resolution strategy is discussed, the firm conducts a comprehensive financial verification. This includes reviewing income sources, asset holdings, and outstanding liabilities to determine eligibility for programs such as Offer in Compromise or Currently Not Collectible status.
This structured intake system is a safeguard against risk. By confirming financial facts before any representation is made to the IRS, Protection Tax helps prevent the submission of unsupported claims — a practice that can lead to delays, denials, or penalties.
The legitimate intake system reflects the firm's commitment to transparency and lawful compliance. It also plays a key role in determining which resolution pathways are legally viable for each client. By anchoring each case in verified documentation, Protection Tax aligns its procedures with federal standards — reducing exposure for clients and enhancing long-term resolution success.

Bessent Predicts US Budget Deficit Will Approach 7% This Year
(Bloomberg) -- US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blamed Democrats for what he predicted will be another unusually large budget deficit this year. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico NJ's Sherrill, Ciattarelli Win Primaries in Governor's Race 'What we are seeing here is a blowout in the spending,' Bessent said while answering questions at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing Wednesday. 'The last fiscal year is something we have never seen before. We have never seen a deficit to GDP this large' outside of wars, a pandemic or a recession, he said. The deficit for the current tax year will come in between 6.5% and 6.7%, Bessent said. That would mark a third straight year in excess of 6% relative to GDP. The Treasury's 2024 fiscal-year figures showed a 6.4% deficit, after 6.2% in 2023. Fiscal years run through September. 'I find it very difficult to be lectured to by people who created the largest deficit in history,' Bessent said in a hearing that reprised partisan disputes over tax policy. Democratic Representative Mike Thompson argued that the record showed previous Republican presidents' tax reductions had added to the US debt load. 'Every expert will tell you that the proposed Trump tax cuts will also add to our debt,' he said. Bond Market When presented with comments by fellow Republican Thomas Massie — a House member who voted against the GOP tax bill last month — about how US bond yields had climbed on concerns the legislation would add to American deficits, Bessent rejected that claim. 'Representative Massie doesn't understand the bond market,' said Bessent, a former hedge-fund manager. Looking at any 24-hour window of market activity 'is incorrect,' he said. Bessent flagged that, while German and Japanese 10-year government bond yields are higher now than at the start of the year, US ones are lower. When Richard Neal — the top Democrat on the panel — said tax revenues are going up this year thanks to President Joe Biden's boost to the Internal Revenue Service budget, Bessent laughed. The Treasury chief said it was because, when he took office, he discovered antiquated IRS technology. He claimed Democrats' efforts had focused on boosting the ranks of IRS staff, rather than improvements to the agency's technology. Bessent was also pressed on whether he could assure there would be no political influence over IRS audits. He said he would follow the law. Bessent also said, with regard to Harvard University, that he has had no conversations with President Donald Trump about its tax status.

For Trump's ‘no tax on tips,' the devil is in the details
(Photo: Las Vegas News Bureau) President Donald Trump's promise to eliminate taxes on tips may sound like a windfall for service workers — but the fine print in Congress' latest tax bill tells a more complex story. Right now, Republican lawmakers are advancing the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' — a sprawling, 1,100-page proposal that aims to change everything from tax incentives for electric vehicles to health care. It also includes a proposal to end taxes on tips, which could potentially affect around 4 million American workers. The Senate has recently passed its own version – the No Tax on Tips Act. The idea started getting attention when Trump raised it during a 2024 campaign stop in Las Vegas, a place where tipping is woven into the economy. And the headlines and press releases sound great — especially if you're a waiter, bartender or anyone else who depends on tips for a living. That may be why both Democrats and Republicans alike broadly support the concept. However, like most of life, the devil is in the details. I'm a business-school economist who has written about tipping, and I've looked closely at the language of the proposed laws. So, what exactly has Trump promised, and how does it measure up to what's in the bills? Let's start with his pledge. Back in January 2025, Trump said, 'If you're a restaurant worker, a server, a valet, a bellhop, a bartender, one of my caddies … your tips will be 100% yours.' That sounds like a boost in tipped workers' income. But when you look at the current situation, it becomes clear that the reality is far more complicated. First, the new tax break only applies to tips the government knows about — and a lot of that income currently flies under the radar. Tipped workers who get cash tips are supposed to report it to the IRS via form 4137 if their employer doesn't report it for them. If a worker gets a cash tip today and doesn't report it, they already get 100% of the money. No one really knows what percentage of tips are unreported, but an old IRS estimate pegs it at about 40%. What's more, the current tax code defines tips only as payments where the customer determines the tip amount. If a restaurant charges a fixed 18% service charge, or there's an extra fee for room service, those aren't tips in the government's eyes. This means some tipped workers who think service charges are tips will overestimate the new rule's impact on their finances. The 'Big Beautiful Bill' would create a new tax code section under 'itemized deductions' This area of the tax code already includes text that creates health savings accounts and gives students deductions for interest on their college loans. What's in the new section? First, the bill specifies that this tax break applies just to 'any cash tip.' The IRS classifies payments by credit card, debit card and even checks as 'cash tips.' Unfortunately for workers in Las Vegas, noncash tips, like casino chips, aren't part of the bill. While the House bill limits the deduction to people earning less than US$160,000 the Senate bill caps the deduction to the first $25,000 of tips earned. Everything over that is taxed. Second, the current House bill ends this special tax-free deal on Dec. 31, 2028. That means these special benefits would only last three years, unless Congress extends the law. The Senate bill does not include such a deadline. Third, the exemption is only available to jobs that typically receive tips. The Treasury secretary is required to define the list of tipped occupations. If an occupation isn't on the list, the law doesn't apply. I wonder how many occupations won't make the list. For example, some camp counselors get tips at the end of the summer. But it's unclear the Treasury Department will include these workers as a covered group, since counselors only make up a proportion of summer camp staff. Not making the list is a real problem. And while the new proposal gives workers an income tax break, there's nothing in either bill about skipping FICA payments on the tipped earnings. Workers are still required to contribute slightly more than 7% in Social Security and Medicare taxes on all tips they report, which won't benefit them until retirement. This isn't an oversight — the bill specifically says employees must furnish a valid Social Security number to get the tax benefits. There are a few other ways the legislation might benefit workers less than it seems at first glance. Instituting no taxes on tips could mean tipped employees feel more pressure to split their tips with other employees, like busboys, chefs and hosts. After all, these untipped workers also contribute to the customer experience, and often at low wages. And finally, many Americans are tired of tipping. Knowing that servers don't have to pay taxes might make some to cut back on it even more. The specifics of any piece of legislation are subject to change until the moment Congress sends it to the president to be signed. However, as now written, I think the bills aren't as generous to tipped workers as Trump made it sound on the campaign trail.

The $10,000 IRS Rule Most Taxpayers Don't Know About - Clear Start Tax Explains What Happens When You Cross It
Clear Start Tax Warns That Hitting $10,000 in IRS Debt Can Trigger Serious Consequences - Including Passport Restrictions and Federal Liens IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2025 / If you owe the IRS less than $10,000, you might think you're in the clear. But Clear Start Tax says crossing that five-figure threshold can quietly trigger a cascade of government actions - including federal tax liens, denied passport renewals, and enhanced IRS collection efforts. Most taxpayers don't realize that $10,000 is a critical line in the sand for several IRS enforcement triggers. In 2025, enforcement is faster and more automated than ever, meaning debts that creep over this threshold can lead to serious consequences before the taxpayer even receives a phone call. "The number isn't arbitrary," says the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. "Once your tax debt hits $10,000, multiple systems within the IRS and State Department can flag your account for escalating enforcement - and that includes federal lien filings and passport holds." What Happens at the $10,000 Mark According to Clear Start Tax, several federal programs and IRS enforcement protocols use $10,000 as a key trigger point: Federal Tax Liens: Once debt crosses $10,000, the IRS may begin filing a public Notice of Federal Tax Lien, which attaches to property, credit, and Revocation: Under the FAST Act, the IRS can certify seriously delinquent tax debt over $59,000 (adjusted annually) to the State Department - but debts over $10,000 often trigger early scrutiny that can affect renewals or Filing Requirement: U.S. persons with more than $10,000+ in foreign accounts at any point in the year must file an FBAR - Failure to do so can result in steep civil fines and even criminal Readiness: Debts over $10,000 often place taxpayers in line for wage garnishments or bank levies, especially if no resolution plan is in place. "Crossing the $10,000 mark can quietly activate IRS systems that move fast and leave little room to react," said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. "By the time a taxpayer realizes what's happening, they may already be dealing with a lien, frozen accounts, or even passport issues." What You Can Do Before It Hits Clear Start Tax emphasizes that the best strategy is to act before your balance reaches - or exceeds - the $10,000 threshold. Early intervention opens the door to more flexible IRS programs, such as: Installment Agreements: Monthly payments that prevent liens and enforcementOffer in Compromise: A negotiated settlement for less than you oweLien Withdrawal Requests: Preventing or reversing lien filingsCurrently Not Collectible (CNC): A temporary freeze on collections for qualifying hardship cases These options are often more accessible and more successful when applied proactively, before enforcement action has started.
