Your Tax Transcript Could Reveal More Than You Think – Clear Start Tax Explains Hidden IRS Red Flags That Can Trigger Enforcement
Clear Start Tax Reveals How Hidden Red Flags in IRS Records Can Trigger Enforcement – and Why Reviewing Your Transcript Is the First Step Toward Resolution IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire For many taxpayers, the term 'IRS transcript' sounds like a dry document meant for accountants or audits. But according to Clear Start Tax, this internal report could be the most important tool in identifying what the IRS knows, what they're watching, and what may be coming next. Often overlooked or misunderstood, a tax transcript is a line-by-line history of how the IRS sees your account, and it's where red flags, errors, and silent collection activity first appear. 'A lot of people wait for a scary IRS letter in the mail,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'But by the time the letter arrives, the IRS may have already made a move. The transcript tells the story before enforcement begins if you know how to read it.' What Is an IRS Tax Transcript – and Why It Matters An IRS tax transcript is a downloadable record that shows return information, wage reporting, payment history, refund activity, and internal IRS codes tied to collections or audits. Clear Start Tax says it's one of the first documents they pull when reviewing a client's case. Taxpayers can request their transcript online at or by submitting Form 4506-T. There are several types, but the Account Transcript and Wage & Income Transcript are often the most revealing. What Red Flags Could Be Hiding Inside Clear Start Tax warns that IRS systems rely heavily on automation, and transcripts can silently show when a taxpayer's account is being reviewed, flagged, or prepared for enforcement. Key signs that may appear in a transcript: 'We've seen transcripts where the client had no idea they were on track for garnishment,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'But the IRS had already processed flags and updated their status behind the scenes.' Errors You Might Not Know Exist Many clients are shocked to learn that their transcripts contain clerical mistakes, misapplied payments, or unfiled returns they thought were submitted. In some cases, wage data is incorrect, or the IRS has assessed tax based on substitute returns without deductions, inflating the amount owed. These inaccuracies can cause enforcement to escalate, even when the taxpayer thought they were compliant. By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they're eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt. How Clear Start Tax Uses Transcripts to Protect Clients Clear Start Tax begins every resolution case with a full transcript audit, reviewing IRS activity, matching it with client documentation, and identifying risks before they lead to liens or levies. This proactive approach allows their team to: Flag inaccurate balances or dates Correct reporting issues and reestablish compliance Identify program eligibility (like Fresh Start or hardship status) Halt enforcement by addressing problems early About Clear Start Tax Clear Start Tax is a full-service tax liability resolution firm that serves taxpayers throughout the United States. The company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with a wide range of IRS and state tax issues, including back taxes, wage garnishment relief, IRS appeals, and offers in compromise.

Green Fertilizer Made with Air and Plasma: NitroCapt (Sweden) wins $2M Food Planet Prize 2025 for developing low-emission fertilizers
STOCKHOLM, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- The Curt Bergfors Foundation is honored to announce that NitroCapt was awarded the Food Planet Prize, the world's biggest environmental award, on June 13 in Stockholm, Sweden. This recognition highlights their exceptional contributions and potential to disrupt the global nitrogen fertilizer industry. Nitrogen fertilizers are used for 50% of the world's food production and emit as much carbon dioxide as the aviation industry. Sweden-based NitroCapt has developed a novel, energy-efficient process that makes fertilizer through plasma-produced nitrate. NitroCapt's technology could improve access to green fertilizer across the world. In awarding the Prize to NitroCapt, the Food Planet Prize jury Co-Chair Johan Rockström commented: "Through NitroCapt's innovation, nitrogen fertilizer can now be produced by splitting nitrogen from the air with plasma technology simply needing green electricity as input. This technology reduces the use of energy tenfold, can be produced locally, avoids fossil-fuels entirely, while producing a nitrate fertilizer that can improve soil health and may be used sustainably by farmers across the world." Gustaf Forsberg, CEO and Founder of NitroCapt, added: "NitroCapt's mission is to decarbonize the nitrogen fertilizer industry. The current fossil-based process has reached its end point. We can also contribute to increased food production in areas that today have difficulties producing sufficient amounts. We are just about to finalize our industrial-scale pilot, and we have fertilizer in the field, but we're still not at the scale where we want to be. This Prize will be very important for us to bring our technology to the stage where we can start making a difference." About the Food Planet Prize The Curt Bergfors Food Planet Prize was established in Sweden in 2019, in acknowledgement of the perils that our current food systems pose to the health of people and the planet. The Prize supports initiatives that significantly reduce the environmental impact of the way we eat today. Unlike many awards, the Food Planet Prize recognizes initiatives for their potential future impact on the environment rather than past achievements. The Food Planet Prize's international jury consists of 10 leading specialists in complex Food Planet challenges. The jury is co-chaired by Johan Rockström and Magnus Nilsson.

Cityview opens New York City office
This story was originally published on Multifamily Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Multifamily Dive newsletter. Earlier this week, Cityview announced its expansion into the Eastern U.S. by opening a New York City office headed by Christoph Donner, the firm's global head of capital development and strategy and former CEO of PIMCO Prime Real Estate LLC. The Los Angeles-based real estate investment manager intends to strategically expand its investment and capital-raising strategy beyond its existing Western and Southwestern U.S. markets into the East Coast. Cityview also plans to pursue acquisition opportunities in Boston; Orlando, Florida; and Atlanta. In the future, it is targeting Raleigh, North Carolina, and Charleston, South Carolina, according to a news release. To determine where to expand, Cityview partnered with RCLCO Real Estate Consulting to identify high-potential markets for multifamily investment based on historical performance, current fundamentals and forward-looking economic forecasts based on 55 key data points. 'Cityview has historically focused on supply-constrained markets on the West Coast, and in recent years we've diversified our strategy to include more demand-driven centers across the Southwestern U.S., including Dallas and Phoenix,' said Sean Burton, CEO of Cityview, in a news release. 'Now, we're expanding nationally with a strategic move into East Coast markets that show strong fundamentals and are poised for future growth.' The key drivers in Cityview's expansion markets are: Boston's high level of professional employment and education, which creates a stable foundation for demand, according to Cityview. New deliveries in the metro are low relative to demand and projected future supply. Orlando's strong positive exposure to demand and relatively small negative exposure to supply, according to Cityview. The firm says the market's strong employment and population growth and its business-friendly environment help drive its strong performance. Atlanta's employment and population growth, which drove demand in the market higher than many of its peers, according to Cityview. In addition, the metro ranked first in average annual return over the past decade and in the top five for average yearly sales volume. Cityview has also been active recently in its current investment markets. In the first quarter, it acquired four assets and recapitalized one property. Last December, the firm bought Candela, a 112-unit value-add in the Hollywood Hills and Franklin Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. It paid Raintree Partners $36 million for the asset. 'Well-located multifamily assets are poised to become even more desirable over the next five years as new multifamily construction starts have ground to a halt, making 2025 a prime opportunity to acquire existing product at today's basis,' Burton told Multifamily Dive in January.
