Sweet talker, unethical, liar, and the biggest of ripoffs of all time, Arian Eghbali.\r\n\r\nArian Eghbali, Enrich Financial, does credit repair. \r\n\r\n1st time talking to him on the phone "he lied to me about my credit report", he claimed I have a $10,000 Doctor bill and a foreclosure. Which none of these existed in my credit report. Arian wanted to charge me $3000 more to remove these.\r\n\r\nHe was already charging me $3000 for something that another company wanted $695. I asked him to stop on my case and send me back my money. He agreed but never did. With his sweet talk he dragged it for 4 months and writing to me on his e-mails I will send your money back. He never did. He was hoping I give up. I took him to court and the judge ruled him to pay my money back. Arian Eghbali appealed and the 2nd judge ruled again that he owes me money. He still ignored the judgement! \r\n\r\nI went to the sheriff department and paid the sheriff to send a keeper to his office and get the judgment. The sheriff called me and said there is no office and his address is a PO box number! He has no office.\r\n\r\nThe sheriff advised me to put a levy on his account, I did so but they called me again and said he has closed his account! \r\n\r\nThe court advised me to file an order of appearance form and when we go back to court he has to give his correct information so I can get my money back plus the penalty and interest. I am doing so. \r\n\r\nHe wanted to charge a friend of a friend $10,000 to clear her credit report. The friend told me Arian would not stop calling her, she wanted to go to his office but he kept insisting on seeing her in a coffee shop. She was lucky to not pay him and sign a contract. Oh also he claimed to her that he is a lawyer!\r\n\r\nIt's too pity people like Arian Eghbali are stilling money and government can't do much about it. But I will not give up. Be wise and think about it twice before you give him your money and don't be naive as I was and think just because he talks in Iranian radio he must be legitimate. Iranian radio would let any one talk in their radio as long as they pay them and make their money. ...read more

Passive Losses are Losses from such things as the sale of Real Property that are not allowable in the current year and are not recognizable until other passive income exists. Passive income is loss from the operation from a passive activity such as the operation of a Schedule E Rental activity that you have no involvement in. Active involvement in "Passive Activities" is the active involvement in day to day operations of the rental of the property. If you are involved in the operation of this property you are allowed up to $25,000 loss on the operation of the property. There are certain limitations to be able to take this Loss. The loss cannot be taken if your Modified Adjusted Gross Income "MAGI" If your MAGI is over $150,000. If the MAGI is in excess of $100,000 the allowable $25,000 is phased out $2 for every $1 over $100,000. MAGI is your Adjusted Gross Income adding back the amount of Allowable Passive Activity Loss from "Active Activities". Material Activities Losses allows "MAL" is another form of activity that allows all of you current loss to be taken. A discussion of this is complex. Generally you normally have to be an Active Licensed Real Estate Activity over 750 hours a year. This designation is complex and can't be described in this article, at this, time. Recent court cases have further defined some of the limitations relating to Limited Liabilty Companies, LLP's and other specific situations., If this situation comes up, it would be wise to research this before proceeding with your treatment on a return www.garykkatzcpa.com. ...read more

Did you know that you are not alone in being delinquent in your back tax payment and/or filings. Did you know that the IRS doesn't want to persecute or prosecute you. They want their money. They know that people like yourself are out their and are scared to file or make a deal with them. Once you fall behind I know that you just want to put them out of your mind. You put them out your mind but they don't go away. They send you threatening letters and you just throw them into a drawer and try to forget them. The letters just pile up Eventually they make up a return for you. They send a letter to your employer. It is embarrassing!! If you own a house they threaten to put a lien on it. If you try to sell your house to get yourself out from under they won't let you until you pay the debt or make arrangements with them. Loan modifications are held up. If you own a business they can come out and put a lien on all of your assets. They will even come out to your business if you have let it go to far. If you have a wife your wife or husband their check is garnished too. If you are on social security they take 25% out of your social security check. Yes they can do it. California Franchise Tax and Board of Equalization or other state taxing agencies are even worse. You will hardly even be given a notice by California. They get their money first. You will suddenly be missing 25% of your paycheck. They think they are being fair. You contact them and they will only make a deal if you show them you can't afford to make large payments that you really can't afford. What can you do? It is not a mystery but you have to talk this over with someone. I am that someone. I can talk and plan a way around your problems. Just talking to someone who knows what to do will make you feel better. One by a professional can take the pressure off. You can feel better immediately. ...read more
