Sometimes the most simple question must be asked “Why do people buy?” In this book, buy•ology, the author, Martin Lindstrom, looks to answer this question from a three years of extensive research into neuromarketing and the impact to the subconscious brain.With 11 chapters that range from discussing the study to learning is “sex” sells, the reader gains some greater insight as to why people buy.  For those in real estate agents this research may provide even greater clarity.Several chapters I found particularly fascinating. As in Chapter Four entitled “I Can’t See Clearly Now” Subliminal Messaging, Alive and Well.” I did not know subliminal advertising was banned by the National Association of Broadcaster in June of 1958. This was due to one incident (later claimed to be a lie) where su... 04/21/2024

Recently, the IRS and United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) have been criminally prosecuting more payroll tax cases than ever before.  Several years ago the decision was made to focus on payroll tax cases for both civil and criminal enforcement, given the importance of payroll taxes to the federal income stream.When it comes to charging taxpayers criminally for the failure to account and pay over payroll taxes there are three main statutes the IRS and DOJ use: IRC § 7202 (the felony statute for payroll tax violations), IRC § 7215 (the misdemeanor statute for payroll violations) and IRC § 7201 (Tax Evasion).IRC § 7202 - Willful Failure to Collect or Pay Over TaxIRC § 7202 makes the failure of an employer to account and pay over the payroll taxes a felony.  IRC § 7202 was designed p... 04/21/2024

Businesses that fall behind with payroll taxes are the number one source of new clients for most tax rep professionals.  The IRS takes payroll tax debts very seriously, as it is a double whammy on the government: it does not receive the tax money, and yet it will be issuing refunds to the taxpaying employees when they file their 1040 tax returns.So the IRS has a letter it sends to employers, Letter 903, that outlines the number of enforcement actions that may occur if the employer does not change course and pay the taxes.  These include any and all of the following: File a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) to protect the government’s interest. By filing this notice, we are making a legal claim to your property as security for the payment of your tax debt. An NFTL is a public notice to y... 04/21/2024

In short, the first contact or phone call is great,   and often warranted.  But subsequent phone calls, texts or appointments need to be with the agent and the client.You want to be there?  Great, I welcome that, especially if you are there to provide support for your child or parent, or even a friend.In the past, from experience, the sooner you allow the client to engage, the better the results, and of course, success in me helping them achieve their real estate needs.  Going through a third party typically creates a communication gap,  which is never in the best interest of the client.And as always, I truly appreciate your real estate referrals!(609) 864-8164https://michaelelliott.fathomrealty.com/   04/21/2024

Yesterday Beckett’s team, the Smurfs played despite a storm that was descending on Austin. The temperature fell to 60 degrees, the wind picked up; and at first started drizzling. With 30 minutes left in the game it started raining, the field became muddy, and the balls were slick so they called the game! Beckett took first base because she accidently was hit by a ball from the pitcher! It happens, the wind was up.Hudson and I huddled under a blanket and thank goodness he brought it! The good news is they all played well and hung in there until the game was called! It’s all just part of sports, you learn to persevere!“Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”  Lou Holtz 04/21/2024

Businesses that fall behind with payroll taxes are the number one source of new clients for most tax rep professionals.  The major issue many of these clients has is confusion about what to do first.  Often we hear “I should make a payment against the oldest period first, that way the IRS knows we are serious.”No they don’t!The IRS does not think that way.  The first step to do anything with the IRS is to get into tax compliance first.What is “Tax Compliance”?In order for the business to have any chance of surviving the tax debt issue is being able to get back into tax compliance, meaning it is filing and paying the payroll taxes on time.  If the business is unable to do this, then it needs to shut down, or the IRS will force the issue by levying the bank accounts and effectively making... 04/21/2024

Businesses that fall behind with payroll taxes are the number one source of new clients for most tax rep professionals.  The first three issues that must be dealt with are: Can the business get into and maintain tax compliance?
