Have a questions or need to know what the
tax law says? Let us research it for you - for a fee, of course!
Un-filed Returns - Haven't filed in a while.
We recommend that you file the returns, and then work with the IRS to
pay in installments or make an offer to settle the debt.
Audit Representation - Being audited.
Getting organized, planning your strategy, and saying the right words
are important during an IRS audit. There is no such thing as casual
conversation when talking to an IRS auditor. If the IRS decides you owe
more taxes, the IRS decision can be appealed.
IRS Interest Abatement - If the IRS
makes a managerial or clerical error, interest may be abated.
IRS Files a Return for You - You can
still file your own tax return which will probably be a whole lot less
money
Summons - The IRS wants you to show
up with your records. It may be that what they really want is for you
to file a late tax return.
Innocent Spouse - He/She did me wrong
and the IRS is trying to stick me with 100% of the tax bill.
Injured Spouse - I didn't know I got
his/her tax bill when we got married.
Penalty Abatement - Do you have a
good reason for not paying or not filing on time? If so, the IRS may
abate the penalties they assessed. If rejected, you can file a petition
in court.
Your IRS File - The IRS computer messed up.
Hire someone to untangle the red tape and get the computer back on the
right track. Don't understand what the IRS computer is trying to tell
you, Hire someone to interpret the IRS notices and letters.
Statutes of Limitations - IRS trying
to say you owe more money? It could be that the 3 year statute of
limitation to assess additional taxes has expired. IRS trying to
collect an old tax debt? It could be that the 10 years that the IRS has
to collect the debt has passed.
Offer In Compromise
- If you don't owe the money, filed a corrected return, Form 1040X, or
file an offer in compromise doubt as to liability. If denied, IRS
decision can be appealed.
We don't
provide the following services but we know someone who does.
Offer in Compromise
- If you owe the money but can't pay, file forms 656, 433A, 433B
(offer in compromise - doubt as to collectibility). If denied, IRS
decision can be appealed.
Installment Agreement -
Owe IRS money. Can pay but not all at one time. Complete forms
433A and 433B and work out an agreement to pay the IRS in monthly
payments (part pay agreement). You can have it zapped from your bank
account or write them a check each month. If they do not accept the
installment agreement that you propose, the rejection can be appealed.
Liens, Levies and
Garnishees - Bank accounts or pay checks being levied? The IRS
is trying to get your attention to pay an outstanding tax bill.
