Arizona Tax Lawyers
Tax law illustrates the government levies on economic transactions, generally called taxes. Tax law has been made a sub-discipline and an area of specialist study in law schools. Even though tax law specialists can involve in litigation, they are mainly engaged in consultative roles.
Various laws are enforced for proper tax payments. The taxes can be in the form of income tax, sales tax, excise tax, property tax, inheritance tax, and corporate tax. As tax law is a specialization in Arizona, the demand of Arizona tax lawyers also increases day by day throughout the state.
There are five state tax brackets within Arizona's tax structure. The rates of these tax brackets vary from 2.87 to 5.04 percent. As these taxes are not exactly the easiest of topics to grasp for an ordinary person, the assistance of an Arizona tax lawyer becomes essential. Also, many people find it difficult to be constantly updated on the Arizona tax system. For them, the best choice is to trust an Arizona tax lawyer, well acquainted with the current and up-to-date tax laws and regulations in the state.
Arizona tax lawyers are provided specialization certificates by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization. Experience, training, and written examination are the minimum qualifications to certify as a specialist.
An Arizona tax lawyer comes with a helping hand when you find yourself in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - the arm of the Treasury Department responsible for income tax. An Arizona tax lawyer can help lessen the potential financial penalty levied by the IRS. He also reduces the stress related to revenue services and resolves tax problems quickly and efficiently.
Arizona Lawyers provides detailed information on Arizona Lawyers, Arizona DUI Lawyers, Arizona Criminal Defense Lawyers, Arizona Divorce Lawyers and more. Arizona Lawyers is affiliated with Colorado Employment Lawyers.

Tax Deduction Options You May Have Missed
As a business person or everyday taxpayer you may think that you have taken every conceivable tax deduction available to you. However, if you paid closer attention to recent amendments to the tax code you may have uncovered some additional special deductions for the most recent tax year. Yes, you already filed your tax return but the following information may encourage you to amend your return for more expansive deduction options.
Disaster donations - From time to time the Internal Revenue Service will rule that certain donations to help out with disasters can be made. In the case of the tsunami which devastated the Pacific Rim region all the way to Africa, you could deduct those contributions with either your 2004 or 2005 return, but not both. Yes, even if the donation was made in 2005 you could amend your 2004 return to show your contribution.
Sales tax - State sales tax can be a deductible expense. Did your accountant overlook this fact? Not all states charge for sales tax and maybe your business is based in a state where no tax is charged, but you purchased items in other states that were taxed. Check your receipts closely for the origin of each purchase!
Deducting the Business SUV - Companies can still get a tax deduction, for as much as $25,000, for an SUV purchased for the business. It used to be that the deductible amount was $100,000 but that amount was trimmed to the lower figure in 2004. If you have a non-SUV vehicle you can still deduct the larger amount.
Small Business Pension Plan - If you started a pension plan for your small business, you could end up with a sizable deduction for establishing such a plan. Geared toward helping small businesses with 100 or fewer employees, you need to consult the IRS' guidelines to learn what your deductions are. This deduction includes the cost of implementing and maintaining the program as well as deductions for any educational retirement planning programs you establish.
Any four of these deductions alone could help you save a mint in taxes. Consult with your accountant to have him make the amendments needed and go over with him other possible deductions that may have been overlooked. You know that paying taxes is a fact of life, but you also know that the government has established some nifty deductions that no business or taxpayer should overlook.

Refinanced Your Home - Claim a Tax Deduction For Points
The mortgage refinance market has cooled off dramatically with recent rate increases. Many people, however, refinanced during 2005 and can claim tax deductions.
Refinanced Your Home - Claim a Tax Deduction For Points
Mortgage rates have been shockingly low over the last few years. This is hardly news to anyone that owns a home. The nominal rates, however, did result in a major boom for the mortgage industry. As rates jostled up and down, millions refinanced to save just the fraction more on their home loans. Heck, many people refinanced multiple times! Alas, this rapid refinance craze has come to an end with the rise in mortgage interest rates.
If you refinanced this past year to get lower rates, I have some good news. Not only did you get lower rates, but you probably built up some additional tax deductions you can use to cut your tax bill.
To obtain a mortgage, whether new or a refinance, homeowners often have to pay points. These nasty little charges represent a percentage of the loan and are typically an upfront charge. Fortunately, points are deductible. Generally, you will claim a deduction for points as part of the mortgage interest deduction that makes our real estate industry so attractive. The type of loan, however, impacts how the points are deducted.
If you obtained a new home loan for a residence, you can deduct the full amount of the points. To do so, however, you must itemize on your tax return. Since you should be deducting the interest paid on the mortgage as well, this is a no brainer.
If you refinanced an existing home loan for a residence, however, things are a bit different. Yes, you can deduct the points paid on the refinance. Unfortunately, you have to deduct them over the life of the loan. In practical terms, you cannot deduct the full $3,000 you paid in points when you refinanced in August of last year. Instead, you can deduct a percentage of the $3,000. The percentage is the value of the points divided by the number of months of the loan. There are two ways around this tax handicap.
If you refinanced twice in 2005, and some of you did, you can deduct the full amount of the points on the first refinance. Why? You can do this because the life of the first refinance was less than a year, which all occurred in 2005.
In certain cases, points may also be immediately deductible if you used a refinance for home improvements. It is a bit technical and beyond the scope of this article. If you actually used a refinance to improve the home, and you can prove it with receipts, speak with a tax professional to write off all your points immediately.
