Working through tax problems is not as easy as they make it sound on television ads. You cannot just meet with an IRS representative, file an Offer in Compromise or get on an installment plan and all will be better. The last national acceptance rate that I saw published the rate of successful completion of Offers in Compromise to be approximately 22%; this means that you would have a 78% chance of failure. As a Body of Believers we are all called to submit to authority and to that end we should all pay our just and fair taxes. Our tax system is one of voluntary compliance and to this end we should and need to stay true. But there are many options when dealing with tax issues and there is not a one size fits all mentality that should be applied to resolving tax issues. These ideas will help you begin to understand what is and what is not in your best interest in dealing with your IRS or state tax problems.
Tax Liens, Levy, Levies and Garnishments. The Department of Treasury/Internal Revenue Service has many tools in its tool box to encourage you to pay promptly. The ultimate in all professional representations should be to avoid as many of these as possible with the goal of preventing an undue headaches, which may occur when Tax Liens, Levy, Levies and Garnishments occur. All of these are effective means the IRS has at its disposal to encourage and indeed force collection of open and due tax monies. It is most wise to deal proactively with back tax and payment issues to ensure that enforced collections are not necessary as they do much to limit your possible options for successful tax resolution.
Tax Relief. Tax Solutions. Tax Help. Each and every situation is different. Like snowflakes, there are no two tax situations that are the same. Though you may feel you need a tax attorney, and your might if going into tax court, most all tax issues may be resolved well before the collection process goes “legal”. Frequently taxpayers with several years worth of tax returns to both file and pay are well served by a CPA who is well versed in tax preparation issues and the IRS collection process as well. The goal of all parties should be for resolution of issues “for once and for all” and to get back into the system as a “compliant taxpayer” by both filing and paying all future taxes on a timely basis.
Tax Options & Alternatives. Tax representatives who offer to “settle for pennies on the dollar” may not always have your best interests at heart, as there should not a one stop way to fix all tax issues. For example, many who originally feel they are best suited for an Offer in Compromise or an Installment Agreement soon learn that these are not in their best interests. Many who initially are set out up on a payment plan to the IRS soon thereafter discover that the penalties and interest are growing more rapidly than the amount of their payments, thus continuing their downward financial spiral. Similarly, Offers in Compromise are often submitted for taxpayers for who are not good candidates for the Offer Process itself. Care should be taken on the front end to verify that all candidates for an Offer in Compromise are well-suited and are well-qualified candidates for this process.
Taxpayer Advocate. Find a CPA who looks after you and to whom you believe has your best interests at heart. Check references, meet face-to-face, gain a good understanding of the CPA’s depth of knowledge and understanding of not only what created the tax issues but also your ability to communicate with him/her. Also be sure that your CPA, does not have a “program” and an “up-front fee”. Payment as services are rendered, such as one would do with an attorney or a physician is your best bet to stay in tune with all actions done on your behalf.
Working with the IRS. Working with the IRS, rather than against it, is your best option to ensure that both your rights as a taxpayer and U.S. citizen are protected and that you solely pay the taxes, which are due, using every option that a CPA has available. The collection process and representation issues take time. To learn more visit these fine articles:
