VALENCIA, Calif., May 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — IRS Solutions®, the trusted name in tax resolution software, announces the launch of its latest innovation, the Discrepancy Report. This cutting-edge feature is designed to simplify the detection of discrepancies between filed tax returns and income data reported to the IRS by third parties. This will empower tax professionals to prevent audits while delivering exceptional service to their clients proactively.
Automated Reporting Detects and Prevents Audits
The new Discrepancy Report automates the process of identifying mismatches, saving tax practitioners countless hours of manual work. Analyzing filed tax returns against income reported to the IRS, the tool flags discrepancies that could trigger audits, allowing professionals to take corrective action in advance.
Available to all IRS Solutions members at no additional charge, this exciting new feature helps identify situations where you may want to proactively file an amended return or discuss a potential issue with your client.
Key Features of the Discrepancy Report
By thoroughly comparing filed tax returns against the income information reported to the IRS by third parties, the Discrepancy Report triggers tax professionals to work proactively with their clients. By informing your clients of unreported income, you may be able to prevent penalties and interest that could be assessed against them. If the amount overlooked is significant enough, you may also be able to avoid criminal charges.
With the new automated Discrepancy Report added to their toolkit, practitioners can enhance client trust, strengthen their advisory role, and establish new ongoing revenue streams through proactive tax compliance services.
Founder and CEO David Stone says, 'Previously, CPAs, EAs, and other tax advisors had to review and compare reports manually—or wait until a client's account was flagged for an audit—to catch key discrepancies. Our new Discrepancy Report streamlines this process by automatically identifying potential unreported income early, helping prevent IRS issues, reducing audit risks, and ensuring accurate amendment filings when necessary.'

IRS Allows Taxpayers To Deposit Payments Directly Into Elon Musk's Bank Account
WASHINGTON—As part of ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency with which it collects money for the world's richest man, officials at the Internal Revenue Service announced a new plan Tuesday allowing taxpayers to deposit payments directly into Elon Musk's bank account. The mandatory new service will reportedly help streamline the tax payment process, bypassing the government entities that traditionally pay Musk—the departments of Defense, Energy, and Transportation, as well as NASA—and instead transferring the funds directly into his checking account. According to the IRS, the updated system will reduce the time it takes for the Tesla and SpaceX CEO to receive taxpayer dollars from a few months to just a few hours. 'We've upgraded the user experience of our website, creating a fast, easy, and secure way for Americans to fulfill their tax obligation to Elon Musk,' said acting IRS commissioner Melanie Krause, adding that the payment hub would also provide more transparency into how the U.S. tax code personally enriches Musk. 'This long overdue change modernizes how we divert revenue away from vital services, optimizing Mr. Musk's ability to collect your hard-earned money.' 'It completely eliminates the outdated system of government loans, subsidies, grants, tax credits, tax rebates, and reimbursements he has used to amass wealth over the past two decades,' Krause continued. 'Now taxpayers can go to and, with a few simple clicks, make a direct deposit that immediately increases Elon Musk's net worth.' Confirming the new approach minimizes inefficiency by transferring money straight to Musk instead of through the maze of federal agencies that currently pay him, White House officials said the overhaul would open more loopholes for his companies to exploit and would add to the tens of billions of dollars the government has already contributed to his personal fortune. They described plans to continue cutting through burdensome red tape with the ultimate goal of circumventing the congressional appropriations process entirely. According to the IRS, enforcement measures have been put in place to make sure all low- and middle-income Americans pay their fair share, and in the coming weeks, workers who have taxes withheld by their employer can expect to see a new line item on their pay stubs that replaces entries such as Social Security and Medicare with one that just says 'Musk.' 'I was initially worried about using an online portal to send 20% of my income to Elon Musk, but the IRS website is pretty straightforward,' said Keith Fairfax, an auto mechanic in Knoxville, TN who told reporters he liked how the system offered real-time tracking of his payments as they were being funneled to the billionaire. 'It's nice to see where my hard-earned money is going, whether I'm helping Elon buy a new mansion, putting fuel in the tank of his private jet, or providing for his 13 known children.' 'But what I like most is when he threatens to use my tax dollars to fund primary challengers for any Republican who opposes Trump's agenda,' he added. 'That's when I know my money is really making a difference.'

Americans are tapping into their retirement savings early. The do's and don'ts of 'hardship withdrawals'
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. More Americans are tapping into their 401(k) to make ends meet — treating it more like an emergency fund than a retirement savings plan. Hardship withdrawals are running 15% to 20% above the historical norm, according to Empower CEO Ed Murphy. Empower is the second-largest retirement plan by participants in the U.S. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has an important message for the next wave of American retirees — here's how he says you can best weather the US retirement crisis Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) While new rules make it easier to withdraw funds, some people may be turning to their retirement savings as prices on consumer goods — from groceries to cars — tick upward. 'There is a corollary to what you are seeing in the U.S. economy with deferred payments on auto loans and mortgages,' Murphy told Bloomberg TV. 'So that's something we monitor carefully.' A hardship withdrawal allows you to withdraw money from your 401(k) to cover an 'immediate and heavy financial need,' according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Some people may be making this decision based on financial hardship, such as housing or medical debt. A new report from Vanguard noted similar findings to Empower, with 4.8% of 401(k) participants initiating a hardship withdrawal in 2024 — up from 3.6% in 2023. While there are a few 'signals of a possible uptick in financial stress,' the report says that for some workers, hardship withdrawals 'may serve as a safety net that otherwise may not have been available without plan-implemented automatic solutions.' Add to that the possibility of heading into a recession, with consumer confidence plummeting and more Americans may find themselves struggling to pay the bills. 'We encourage people to have an emergency savings account, have at least two years of expenses set aside in the event these types of situations occur,' Murphy told Bloomberg TV. Read more: Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — Even the IRS is prepared for an increase in hardship withdrawals, stating on its website that 'given the current economic climate, a greater number of participants may be requesting hardship distributions from their retirement plans.' Hardship withdrawals typically come with steep penalties. On top of federal and state income taxes, you might be required to pay a 10% tax on early withdrawals if you are under 59 ½. Rather, consider building an emergency savings fund to manage unexpected expenses. This way, you don't have to worry about cashing out your retirement savings during a market downturn or the tax implications of an early withdrawal. You can make your emergency savings work harder for you by parking them in a high-yield savings account. Even with this, it can take years to see your savings account reach its full potential. But if you own a home — and have been making regular mortgage payments — chances are you've built up solid equity. With home values higher than ever, you can make your home work harder for you by making the most of your equity. The average homeowner sits on roughly $303,000 as of the fourth quarter of 2024, according to CoreLogic. Having access to your home equity could help to cover unexpected expenses, pay substantial debt, fund a major purchase like a home renovation or supplement income from your retirement nest egg. Rates on HELOCs and home equity loans are typically lower than APRs on credit cards and personal loans, making it an appealing option for homeowners with substantial equity. The amount you can withdraw is limited to only what's necessary to 'satisfy that financial need,' according to the IRS. You may be able to avoid the early withdrawal penalty if you meet the IRS's eligibility for safe harbor distributions, such as the pending foreclosure of your home. But it won't get you out of paying taxes. The money you withdraw from your 401(k) is taxable income. This means drawing down on your 401(k) could slingshot you into a higher tax bracket. There are also longer-term consequences, such as the loss of compounding growth, which could hinder your retirement goals. That's why a hardship withdrawal is usually considered a last resort. If you've already eaten through your emergency fund, there are still some options you could consider before a hardship withdrawal. For example, you could look for ways to reduce expenses — like cancelling an upcoming vacation or selling a second vehicle. Monthly insurance premiums on your home and car might also be eating into your take-home pay. With premiums expected to rise, you might want to lock in a lower rate now. With you can shop around for auto insurance rates from reputable insurers near you.
