Comment by Ktasha on August 30, 2009 at 11:56am: Free Tax Return Review Services

Tax Return Reviews often identify mistakes and missed opportunities that could put more cash back into your pocket. Taxpayers can amend and refile income tax returns up to 3 years after the tax return was originally filed.

While many tax return preparers are generally highly competent at completing tax returns, they often do an inadequate job of discussing the taxpayers activities, transactions, and opportunities for increasing deductions and reducing taxes for those that sometimes owe.

Hardge Connections, will review your previous year's taxes - for FREE! 2008, 2007, and 2006. In the event that we don't find something more could have been done to benefit you, there will be no charge. That's our Guarantee!

If mistakes and missed opportunities are discovered and you want us to file an Amended Tax Return, only then will a fee be required. There will be no hidden charges and your fee will be quoted to you upfront.

While all income level taxpayers can benefit, middle income and upper income taxpayers should especially have this review done. (If you make $60,000 and over).

***THE TIME IS NOW*** In this troubled economy, we all could use some extra cash in our pockets. While I would love to offer this free service indefinitely, in a few short months I will begin my pre-season tax service tasks, therefore this service will only be offered between 8/15/09 through 10/15/09.

Hardge Connections works with clients Nationwide so we can help you regardless of what State you live in. You can submit your paperwork either by fax to (866) 225-3943 or as an attachment to email to hardgeconnections@gmail.com.

If you know of anyone in Richmond,VA that would be great so I can also have him/her come by to talk to my team to educate them as well.

Comment by Ktasha on July 15, 2008 at 12:05pm: IRS Imposters are using e-Mail, Fax and other methods to Pose as the IRS.

The Internal Revenue Service cautions taxpayers to be on the lookout for a new wave of scams using the IRS name and identity theft e-mails, or phishing, that have circulated during the last two months.

In May and June alone, taxpayers reported almost 700 separate phishing incidents to the IRS. In 2008 so far, taxpayers have reported about 1,600 phishing incidents to the IRS.

"Taxpayers should take steps to keep their personal information out of the hands of identity thieves," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. "That includes not falling for any of the phony e-mails or faxes now in circulation pretending to come from the IRS."

The most common scams involve tax refunds and, this year, economic stimulus payments.

Although most of these scams consist of e-mails requesting detailed personal information, the IRS generally does not send e-mails to taxpayers, does not discuss tax account matters with taxpayers in e-mails, and does not request security-related personal information, such as PIN numbers, from taxpayers.

Scammers are using e-Mail scams, Economic Stimulus Payment scams, Substitute Form 1040 Fax Scams, Tax Court Scams and more.

For more information on how these scams work and learn how to identify them, how to handle them if an attempt is made against you and more, visit Tax Matters on Hardge Connections, LLC and click on "Beware of IRS Imposters."
