So, what is IRS Form 56? This tax form is used to provide proof of authorization to address and resolve the remaining tax issues after a loved one has passed away.</p> 301<p>The power of a representative of who is in an authorized representative of a late loved oneâs estate, trust, or individual intestate IRS tax liabilities is normally thrust upon someone as a surprise after the passing of a loved one.</p> 302<p>While there are circumstances where there are remaining tax debts when a loved one passes with a will or trust, those circumstances are usually planned for based on the strategies that were memorialized in a will or trust.</p> 303<p>But often, when people pass away with a lingering tax debt, they didnât have the means to properly plan for their passing, and after they pass, a loved one receives a letter from the IRS. But, because of the lack of a will, trust, and an operative tax Form 56, the loving family member likely needs to file an IRS Form 56 to obtain access to their loved oneâs IRS tax debt account.</p> 304<p>Unfortunately, the IRS currently has a diminished âfront lineâ and lacks understanding of fiduciary tax, trust tax, and intestate tax issues to communicate the lingering issues or address the lingering issues that are usually not communicated to the surviving family. And frustrations brews. There are collection options available for families finding themselves looking at an IRS collection notice for a recently lost family member, and only to hear from the IRS that they need to file an IRS Form 56.</p> 305<p>IRS Form 56 matters are complicated and stressful, and the IRS often does not understand its own rules.

Are you one of them?</p> 408<p>Federal employees sometimes have a difficult burden; they are both representatives of the federal government and also taxpayers subject to tax laws. There is a special Internal Revenue Service (IRS) unit assigned to collect liabilities and resolve IRS collection cases involving Federal Employees; These can be your local postal worker, the person at the Social Security Administration office, or your family member who is honoring our country with military service, for example.</p> 409<p>In typical government fashion, it does usually take a little bit of time for the IRS to identify and call out its own. But when it does happen, the IRS will notify the federal employee by issuing Notice LT36.</p> 410<p>Notice LT36 is based on the Federal Employee/Retiree Delinquency Initiative (FERDI) program that was developed in 1993 by the IRS to promote federal tax compliance among current and retired federal employees. The program incorporates the purpose and intent of Office of Government Ethics regulation 5 C.F.R. 2635.809 which addresses the responsibility of federal employees to “satisfy in good faith their obligations as citizens, including all just financial obligations, especially those such as federal, state, or local taxes that are imposed by law.”</p> 411<p>The most common recipients of Notice LT36 are taxpayers currently receiving a salary or pension from the federal government. This includes the following:</p> 412<ol> 413<li style="list-style-type: none;"> 414<ul> 415<li>Civilian employees, including U.S. Postal Service</li> 416<li>Civil service or Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) retirees</li> 417<li>Active-duty military</li> 418<li>Military retirees</li> 419<li>National Guard/Reservists</li> 420</ul> 421</li> 422</ol> 423<p>It is common that federal employees with this pedigree and background are usually caught in a surprised situation of their tax liability. That is the purpose of IRS Notice LT36: to provide our federal employees and service members the opportunity to address their IRS tax problem. Once the notice is issued, the federal employee should take proactive steps to remedy their IRS tax liability.</p> 424<p>Contribution By Farah Oweimer; Email: [email protected]</p> 425<p>

Wrong, if you received Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice CP49.</p> 496<p>The IRS provides notice CP49 to a taxpayer when the often-needed tax refund that you are waiting on is applied to a tax debt owed to the IRS, regardless of whether you dispute that you owe the IRS. Sometimes the debt owed is known to a taxpayer, sometimes it comes as an unwelcome surprise.</p> 497<p>The tax refund as noticed by IRS Notice CP49 and snatched by the IRS includes an assessed tax owed plus penalties and interest on a balance due. The idea behind why you would receive a notice from the IRS Notice CP49 is the total refund you were to receive from being a compliant taxpayer and filing your tax return unfortunately gets applied to the account to relieve your tax debt instead of paying your bills.</p> 498<p>IRS Publication 594 explains the steps the IRS will take to collect the on an IRS tax debt owed. The first step is if you owe taxes, the IRS will send you a first attempted bill. The second step, if you do not pay your first attempted bill, they will notify you with a second attempted notice. Lastly, if you do not pay your final bill the collection process begins with the notice of CP49 notifying your that your expected refund will be intercepted. If you donât believe that you owe a tax liability, this would be the time to take immediate action to investigate the discrepancy between your records and the IRSâ assessments against you.</p> 499<p>Having an expected refund intercepted by the IRS can be both shocking and devastating depending on your financial circumstance. If the tax debt is known to you, then the IRS Notice CP49 is not shocking, but something that needs to be addressed by either contesting the assessment or engaging in IRS collection defenses. If the tax debt is not known to you, then the alleged assessment needs to be investigated for accuracy, because the IRS is not perfect and they too make mistakes.</p> 500<p>If you received IRS Notice CP49, you will not likely be receiving your expected refund. However, understanding why you owe and addressing the balances due is what the MW Attorney, A Professional Legal Corporation assists taxpayers with and they offer a free consultation.</p> 501<p>Contribution By Farah Oweimer; Email: [email protected]</p> 502 503 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 504 505</article><!-- #post-## --> 506 507 508<article id="post-4573" class="post-4573 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> 509 510 511 <header class="entry-header"> 512 <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/top-irs-collection-enforcement-moves-back-to-modesto/" rel="bookmark">Top IRS Collection Enforcement Returns to Modesto</a></h1> 513 <div class="entry-meta"> 514 <span class="byline"> Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/author/ericamachin/">Erica Machin</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"> on <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/top-irs-collection-enforcement-moves-back-to-modesto/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2025-05-16T08:03:51-07:00">May 16, 2025</time></a></span><span class="comments-link"> with <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/top-irs-collection-enforcement-moves-back-to-modesto/#respond">0 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 515 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 516 517 <div class="entry-content"> 518 <p>As youâre rolling into the Modesto Del Taco drive-through on the corner of Carver Road and Standiford Avenue, if you look through the ca
518ddy corner, you will see a normal, boring looking office space. The financial pain caused by the people in that building has been ongoing for years. However, the barracks are now replenished with IRS Revenue Officers again at 1700 Standiford Ave. Suite 340, Modesto, CA 95350.</p> 519<p>During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the IRS Modesto office had been reduced to a skeleton staff assigned primarily to IRS compliance and IRS audit issues. However, due to an increase in cost-of-living adjustments for Modesto, the IRS has been able to increase the pay-scale allowed for Modesto IRS Revenue Officers. Basically, the IRS couldnât afford to pay the Revenue Officers in the Modesto zip code until late 2024. Until the cost-of-living adjustment, IRS enforced collection actions by IRS Revenue Officers against Modesto Taxpayers were unleashed by the Revenue Officers in the IRS Stockton office located at 4643 Quail Lakes Drive, Stockton, CA 95207.</p> 520<p>The IRS office located in Stockton is still a fully functional IRS collection Death Star. However, because of the pay-scale update, the Modesto IRS office returns as a fully functional IRS Revenue Officer collection machine. Several of the IRS Stockton Revenue Officers simply moved their golden toasters back to their Modesto digs. So, be careful if you are being hunted by the IRS in Modesto, the person in Del Taco may be coming for you once they are off their lunch break.</p> 521 522 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 523 524</article><!-- #post-## --> 525 526 527<article id="post-4567" class="post-4567 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> 528 529 530 <header class="entry-header"> 531 <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/irs-march-madness-will-the-department-of-government-efficiency-save-me-from-irs-tax-debt/" rel="bookmark">IRS March Madness – Will the Department of Government Efficiency Save Me From IRS Tax Debt?</a></h1> 532 <div class="entry-meta"> 533 <span class="byline"> Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/author/ericamachin/">Erica Machin</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"> on <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/irs-march-madness-will-the-department-of-government-efficiency-save-me-from-irs-tax-debt/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2025-04-07T23:49:55-07:00">April 7, 2025</time></a></span><span class="comments-link"> with <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/irs-march-madness-will-the-department-of-government-efficiency-save-me-from-irs-tax-debt/#respond">0 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 534 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 535 536 <div class="entry-content"> 537 <p>On Sunday, March 16, 2025, United States Department of the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed during an interview on Meet the Press that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be waiting until after their âgame dayâ to make significant adjustments to the IRS workforce.</p> 538<p>He explained that while other federal departments are making cuts now, the IRS is presently in its playoffs since it is March leading to Tax Day, April 15, 2025, being their game day. Secretary Bessent indicated that after the IRS Game Day/Tax Day, then the IRS workforce will be reviewed in May 2025.</p> 539<p>When reviewing adjustments to the IRS workforce, Secretary Bessent confirmed the IRS will prioritize the following IRS functions:</p> 540<p>1. IRS Collections;</p> 541<p>2. Taxpayer Privacy; and</p> 542<p>3. Customer Service.</p> 543<p>Whether Secretary Bessent was speaking with candor or if he actually has a say in how the Department of Treasury functions or operates, provided the current administration(s), is yet to be determined. However, he did indicate that collections would be a priority.</p> 544<p>Furthermore, the IRS does have the power of the courts and may cause a tax debt to be even more expensive to both collect and defend if the IRS is eventually eliminated. So those of you hoping the IRS may just go away, hope is not a plan. Taking advantage of the collection defense options and strategies that are implemented by our tax law firm may need to be implemented before they are terminated and you get dragged into court.</p> 545 546 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 547 548</article><!-- #post-## --> 549 550 551<article id="post-4547" class="post-4547 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> 552 553 554 <header class="entry-header"> 555 <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/helpful-edd-de1-form-tax-hack-for-california-employers/" rel="bookmark">Helpful EDD DE1 Form Tax Hack for California Employers</a></h1> 556 <div class="entry-meta"> 557 <span class="byline"> Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/author/ericamachin/">Erica Machin</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"> on <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/helpful-edd-de1-form-tax-hack-for-california-employers/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2025-01-22T08:14:21-08:00">January 22, 2025</time></a></span><span class="comments-link"> with <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/helpful-edd-de1-form-tax-hack-for-california-employers/#respond">0 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 558 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 559 560 <div class="entry-content"> 561 <p>If you are a California employer, you likely have lots of tax responsibilities including fulfilling your IRS and California payroll tax obligations and tax compliance responsibilities. Not only do California employers need to pay their employees a reasonable wage, but they also have to be compliant with the Employment and Development Department (EDD) filing requirements.</p> 562<p>The EDD is Californiaâs state taxing entity for payroll filing compliance. One of the first forms needed to proceed with processing payroll for your employees is EDD Form DE1. EDD Form DE1 is usually completed online. If your business entity is a California corporation you need to have an active status with Californiaâs Secretary of State. Once active, entities are issued a California Secretary of State corporation number.</p> 563<p>While online transmissions and processing are sometimes convenient, there are sometimes âglitchesâ especially when the government is involved. Such is the case with the E
563DDâs Form DE1. To complete EDD Form DE1 online, a California corporate employer needs to enter their California Secretary of State corporate number.

Whether you’re a first-time filer, self-employed, or simply trying to stay organized, itâs crucial to take steps to get ahead of tax season and be ready for any potential audits. This guide will walk you through key tax season preparation strategies, tax filing tips, and how to handle an audit with confidence.</p> 620<h2>Smart Tax Season Preparation</h2> 621<p>One of the best ways to reduce tax season anxiety is to be proactive. Start by organizing all of your financial documents, including W-2s, 1099s, and receipts for any deductions you plan to claim. The earlier you gather this information, the more time youâll have to ensure your return is accurate. Setting a timeline for gathering your tax materials and filing your return can help you stay on track and avoid last-minute stress.</p> 622<p>For many, using tax software can streamline the filing process, but if your tax situation is more complex, it may be beneficial to seek professional help. A tax professional can ensure that you’re not missing any key deductions or credits. Filing early is another tip that can help you avoid penalties and even reduce your chances of being audited, as early filers tend to face less scrutiny.</p> 623<h2>Preparing for a Tax Audit</h2> 624<p>While no one likes to think about being audited, preparing in advance can help ease the stress if it happens. A tax audit involves the IRS reviewing your financial records to ensure accuracy, and this process can be intimidating. However, knowing your rights as a taxpayer is key. You have the right to professional representation during an audit and can request additional time to gather any necessary documents.</p> 625<p>Accurate and detailed record-keeping is critical during tax audit preparation. Keeping track of your income, deductions, and expenses will not only make your tax return more accurate but will also serve as a defense in the event of an audit. If you do receive an audit notice, try to stay calm. Itâs important to approach the situation methodically, gathering all relevant information and consulting a tax professional if needed.</p> 626<h2>Creating a Tax Audit Checklist</h2> 627<p>A tax audit checklist can be an invaluable tool for keeping your audit preparation organized. Start by reviewing your past returns to ensure there are no discrepancies or errors. This is also the time to gather any re
627ceipts and documentation that support your deductions and credits. Ensuring that all tax forms, such as W-2s and 1099s, are correctly filled out and readily available will streamline the process.</p> 628<h2>Preparing for an IRS Audit Checklist</h2> 629<p>When preparing for an IRS audit specifically, youâll want to take extra care to ensure everything is in order. Double-check all the numbers and details in your past returns and compile supporting documents like bank statements, charitable contribution receipts, and any other proof of deductions. Itâs important to ensure your tax returns and calculations meet IRS requirements to avoid further issues. Before submitting anything, having a tax professional review your materials can provide peace of mind and help avoid any costly mistakes.</p> 630<h2>Ensuring Audit-Ready Tax Filing</h2> 631<p>Tax season doesnât have to be overwhelming if you approach it with the right preparation. By staying organized and following essential tax filing tips, youâll reduce the chances of mistakes and stress. Should an audit arise, preparing an IRS tax audit checklist will help you stay calm and compliant. Taking proactive steps now will lead to a smoother tax season and peace of mind, knowing you’re ready for whatever comes your way.</p> 632 633 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 634 635</article><!-- #post-## --> 636 637 638<article id="post-4481" class="post-4481 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> 639 640 641 <header class="entry-header"> 642 <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/youre-not-paranoid-the-irs-is-telling-your-neighborhood-that-you-owe-taxes-irs-notice-lt40/" rel="bookmark">Youâre Not Paranoid, The IRS is Telling Your Neighborhood That You Owe Taxes: IRS Collection Notice LT40</a></h1> 643 <div class="entry-meta"> 644 <span class="byline"> Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/author/jwetenkamp/">Wetenkamp</a></span></span><span class="posted-on"> on <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/youre-not-paranoid-the-irs-is-telling-your-neighborhood-that-you-owe-taxes-irs-notice-lt40/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2024-08-30T14:08:38-07:00">August 30, 2024</time></a></span><span class="comments-link"> with <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/youre-not-paranoid-the-irs-is-telling-your-neighborhood-that-you-owe-taxes-irs-notice-lt40/#respond">0 Comment</a></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> 645 </header><!-- .entry-header --> 646 647 <div class="entry-content"> 648 <p>Did you receive the dreaded âWe may contact others for informationâ notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)? There are things that most people want to keep private. Among those are their income and money problems. If you have fallen on hard times, struggling to pay the bills, the last thing you need is someone telling the neighborhood, or your co-workers your dirty laundry, pressuring you to shut them up by paying them money that you donât have.</p> 649<p>The IRS is that nightmare debt collector that will knock on your neighborâs door and spread debt truths better untold at your workâs watercooler telling everyone that they think you are a deadbeat who doesnât pay your taxes. Each situation is different, but the IRS will wake up your neighbors first, and they are telling you that they are coming.</p> 650<p>IRS Collection Notice LT40 is one of the most scary and intrusive notices someone who owes money can receive and is very scary. If you get behind on your car payment or a medical bill, most people wouldnât expect your car dealership or your doctor to knock on your neighborâs door or tell your co-workers that you are broke. But if you owe the IRS, you need to expect it.</p> 651<p>The IRS has recently issued a batch of IRS Notices LT40 for the first time in a long time officially announcing since the Pandemic that their tax enforcement efforts are fully operational and that the IRS collection department is back and is knocking on doors to get the IRS tax debt that you owe. IRS Notice LT40 specifically warns:</p> 652<p>âWe intend to contact other persons such as a neighbor, a bank, an employer, or employees.â</p> 653<p>The IRS Notice LT40 is one of many IRS collection notices that are strategically drafted to inform you of IRS collection practices but truly intended to elicit a response: Distressed Payment. The IRS knows that people donât want their financial dirty laundry spread around town, so the IRS collection letter is intended to scare you into paying your tax debt.</p> 654<p>However, payment of a tax debt isnât just that easy. In most cases, there is a reason that the tax debt is owed that needs to be corrected before simply writing a check that may be difficult to cash. There may be options available to taxpayers that canât simply cut a check that can stop the taxman from knocking on your neighborâs door and our law firm offers a free consultation for people who want to find a way to keep the IRS from knocking on their neighborâs door as threatened in IRS Collection Notice Letter LT40:<br />

Or perhaps, you were audited by the IRS or Californiaâs income taxing entity, the FTB. Either way, you are staring a tax bill and wondering if it you owe more than âaverageâ.</p> 733<p>Unfortunately, if you owe a California FTB tax debt, they will tell you, and the public at large that you owe a big tax debt. They will even post your name online, try to suspend your drivers license and state issued professional license that you may have in order to force you resolve your tax liability. This is known as the âTop 500 past due balancesâ list and its most recent victims has just been published.</p> 734<p>Initially started as a list of the top 250 by California Assembly Bil No. 1424, it has been amended and expanded to the top 500 individual taxpayers who owe $100,000 or more in California FTB tax debt and is published twice a year.</p> 735<p>The current list updated in June 2024 has the lowest liability published as $102,409.61. With penalties and interest on tax liabilities, you may be closer to being published than you think. There are tax collection defense strategies that can be implemented to keep you off of this list, or remove yourself from this list if you see your name on the list. But it is up to you to pursue those tax defense strategies before the tax man pursues you. So, if you do have a California Tax Debt that is getting âBigâ you may need a consultation with our law firm to determine if there is an FTB collection defense that may work to keep your name from being published as a top 500 past due balance.</p> 736 737 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 738 739</article><!-- #post-## --> 740 741 <nav class="navigation paging-navigation" role="navigation"> 742 <h1 class="screen-reader-text">Posts navigation</h1> 743 <div class="pagination loop-pagination"> 744 <span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current">1</span> 745<a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/page/2/">2</a> 746<span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> 747<a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/page/75/">75</a> 748<a class="next page-numbers" href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/page/2/">Next →</a> </div><!--/ .pagination --> 749 </nav><!--/ .navigation --> 750 751 752 </main><!-- #main --> 753 </div><!-- #primary --> 754 755 <div id="secondary" class="widget-area sidebar" role="complementary"> 756 <aside id="search-3" class="widget widget_search"><h4 class="widget-title">Search Blog</h4><form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="https://www.mwattorneys.com/"> 757 <label> 758 <span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span> 759 <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="Search …" value="" name="s" /> 760 </label> 761 <input type="submit" class="search-submit" value="Search" /> 762 </form></aside><aside id="wpc_posts-1" class="widget widget_wpc_posts"><h4 class="widget-title">Latest News</h4> 763 <ul class="widget-posts-list"> <li class=""> 764 <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/when-is-an-irs-form-56-needed/" title="What is IRS Form 56, and When is it Needed?">What is IRS Form 56, and When is it Needed?</a> 765 <div class="clear"></div> 766 </li> 767 <li class="light-bg"> 768 <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/information-for-the-525000-secret-federal-workers-that-are-hiding-in-plain-sight-irs-notice-lt36/" title="Information for the 525,000 Secret Federal Workers that are Hiding in Plain Sight â IRS Notice LT36">Information for the 525,000 Secret Federal Workers that are Hiding in Plain Sight â IRS Notice LT36</a> 769 <div class="clear"></div> 770 </li> 771 <li class=""> 772 <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/4593/" title=""></a> 773 <div class="clear"></div> 774 </li> 775 <li class="light-bg"> 776 <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/top-irs-collection-enforcement-moves-back-to-modesto/" title="Top IRS Collection Enforcement Returns to Modesto">Top IRS Collection Enforcement Returns to Modesto</a> 777 <div class="clear"></div> 778 </li> 779 <li class=""> 780 <a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/irs-march-madness-will-the-department-of-government-efficiency-save-me-from-irs-tax-debt/" title="IRS March Madness – Will the Department of Government Efficiency Save Me From IRS Tax Debt?">IRS March Madness – Will the Department of Government Efficiency Save Me From IRS Tax Debt?</a> 781 <div class="clear"></div> 782 </li> 783 784 </ul></aside><aside id="categories-3" class="widget widget_categories"><h4 class="widget-title">Categories</h4> 785 <ul> 786 <li class="cat-item cat-item-1043"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/affordable-care-act/">Affordable Care Act</a> (1) 787</li> 788 <li class="cat-item cat-item-169"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/baseball/">Baseball</a> (14) 789</li> 790 <li class="cat-item cat-item-284"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/busted/">Busted</a> (36) 791</li> 792 <li class="cat-item cat-item-93"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/celebrity-tax-problems/">Celebrity Tax Problems</a> (19) 793</li> 794 <li class="cat-item cat-item-60"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/financial-news/">Financial News</a> (17) 795</li> 796 <li class="cat-item cat-item-983"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/franchise-tax-board/">Franchise Tax Board</a> (4) 797</li> 798 <li class="cat-item cat-item-73"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/historical/">Historical</a> (12) 799</li> 800 <li class="cat-item cat-item-457"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/international-tax-news/">International Tax News</a> (16) 801</li> 802 <li class="cat-item cat-item-38"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/irs-news-info/">IRS News & Information TaxPayers Need To Know</a> (279) 803</li> 804 <li class="cat-item cat-item-923"><a href="https://www.mwattorneys.com/blog/category/irs-scandal-2/">IRS Scandals in the News: The Latest Updates</a> (11) 805</li> 806 <li class="cat-item cat-item-40">
