Why does the Internal Revenue Service want to settle your tax debt for pennies on the dollar?
1.IRS resources are constrained.
Five years of budget cuts by Congress has limited the IRS’ ability to enforce its own laws. The IRS budget has been reduced by $1.2 billion since 2010 despite having 12.8 million more tax returns to process.
Since 2010, the IRS has laid off 17,000 workers, which explains why, in 2015, the IRS only Audited 0.7% of all tax returns. Actually, we have a former IRS agent who recently retired and can go through a litany of other reasons why IRS would settle your tax debt.
Just know this is in the best interest of the government to do so.
Congress looks at IRS numbers at the end of every year and many times budgets of the Treasury department based on the collection statistics from the Internal Revenue Service.
2. You may have heard that the IRS only has 10 years to collect taxes.
These time restrictions put a lot of pressure on already overworked IRS agents.
Also it is called return on investment. The IRS wants to collect something on a debt that they may never be able to collect.
Hire a tax resolution firm that has former IRS training agents and who know the system.
You will get you the best deal possible whether it’s our firm or another firm always go with former IRS agents.
IRS tax relief programs help taxpayers by reducing the amount they owe, giving them more time to pay, or a combination of both. It’s a win-win for the IRS and taxpayers.
What type of IRS tax relief examinations are there?
There are several tax relief programs taxpayers can apply for, but only three that offer debt settlement forgiveness:
1. The Offer in Compromise program,
2. The Partial Pay installment Agreement program,
3. The Currently non-collectible, hardship.
Call us today to find out which program you qualify for.
Your current financial statement on form 433A or 433F will determine how IRS will close or settle your case.
The Offer in Compromise
An offer in compromise is a settlement where the IRS accepts less that the total debt amount in exchange for a lump sum or up to two years of monthly payments. As far as debt forgiveness goes, offers in compromise are usually the best deal available to taxpayers.
The problem is it’s not easy to meet IRS eligibility criteria. There is also a pre-qualifier program to make sure you are eligible for settlement .
I was a former IRS agent who taught the offer in compromise program to new agents. I am one of the nation’s leading Experts in the offer in compromise.
However, since 2010, the IRS has relaxed its standards through the fresh start initiative.
In 2015, the IRS accepted 40.3% of all offers in compromise for an average settlement of $9000 a case.
The acceptance rate is even higher for taxpayers who hire a tax relief company. It’s common for tax relief firms to maintain acceptance rates of over 85%.
Partial Pay or monthly payments installment Agreement
The Partial Pay installment Agreement does not get much attention and publicity, but it often has even better terms that offers in compromise.
40% of all open IRS cases are issue in payment agreement status but sadly over 50% of taxpayers cannot keep up their payments.
A Partial Pay installment Agreement is similar to an Offer in Compromise in that the IRS forgives part of your debt, but it has longer repayment terms: typically, 36 to 72 months.
Partial Pay installment Agreements are easier and faster to qualify for and you don’t have to provide as much financial information.
However if your debt is over $50,000 IRS will require a complete documented financial statements.
Hardship Programs
The hardship program simply means you do not have the currently the means to deal with Internal Revenue Service.
After the Internal Revenue Service reviews your current financial statement and based on the national, local, and geographical standards, IRS will find that you are upside down in issue you in a currently non-collectible status.
What that means is that IRS puts a freeze on your case for two or three years and will look at the situation later.
Many times a taxpayer stays in this uncollectible status for several years and at some point in time the statute of limitation may run out, contact us for more details.
Do you have on Unfiled tax returns?
If you have on file tax returns the Internal Revenue Service, they will insist on you bringing all tax years current or they will not deal with you, as matter of fact, they may go ahead and enforce collections to make sure you are in full compliance.
As soon as the IRS contacts you they will pull a summary of the last six years of your compliance history.
If you have Unfiled tax returns we can prepare your returns with or without records to bring you in full compliance of internal revenue standards and ensure that you pay the lowest amount of tax allowed by law.
What to look for when hiring a tax relief firm?
Only hire tax relief firms that have:
1. CPA’s and Enrolled Agents on staff,

3. Licensed to act as a power of attorney, in the

The Internal Revenue Service, state tax agencies and the tax industry today urged all employers to educate their payroll personnel about a Form W-2 phishing scam that made victims of hundreds of organizations and thousands of employees last year.
The Form W-2 scam has emerged as one of the most dangerous phishing emails in the tax community. During the last two tax seasons, cybercriminals tricked payroll personnel or people with access to payroll information into disclosing sensitive information for entire workforces.
The scam affected all types of employers, from small and large businesses to public schools and universities, hospitals, tribal governments and charities.
Reports to phishing@irs.gov from victims and non-victims about this scam jumped to approximately 900 in 2017, compared to slightly over 100 in 2016.
Last year, more that 200 employers were victimized, which translated into hundreds of thousands of employees who had their identities compromised.
By alerting employers now, the IRS and its partners in the Security Summit effort hope to limit the success of this scam in 2018. The IRS last year also created a new process by which employers should report e scams.
There are steps the IRS can take to protect employees, but only if the agency is notified immediately by employers about the theft.
Here’s how the scam works:
Cybercriminals do their homework, identifying chief operating officers, school executives or other in positions of authority. Using a technique known as business email compromise (BEC) or business email spoofing (BES), fraudsters posing as executives send emails to payroll personnel requesting copies of Forms W-2 for all employees.
The Form W-2 contains the employee’s name, address, Social Security number, income and withholdings. Criminals use that information to file fraudulent tax returns, or they post it for sale on the Dark Net.
The initial email may be a friendly, “hi, are you working today” exchange before the fraudster asks for all Form W-2 information. In several reported cases, after the fraudsters acquired the workforce information, they immediately followed that up with a request for a wire transfer.
In addition to educating payroll or finance personnel, the IRS and Security Summit partners also urge employers to consider creating a policy to limit the number of employees who have authority to handle Form W-2 requests and that they require additional verification procedures to validate the actual request before emailing sensitive data such as employee Form W-2s.
If the business or organization victimized by e attacks notifies the IRS, the IRS can take steps to help prevent employees from being victims of tax-related identity theft. However, because of the nature of e scams, some businesses and organizations did not realize for days, weeks or months that they had been scammed.
The IRS established a special email notification address specifically for employers to report Form W-2 data thefts. Here’s how Form W-2 scam victims can notify the IRS:
• Email datalsos@irs.gov to notify the IRS of a Form W-2 data loss and provide contact information, as listed below.
• In the subject line, type “W2 Data Loss” so that the email can be routed properly. Do not attach any employee personally identifiable information data.
• Include the following:
◦ Business name
◦ Business employer identification number (EIN) associated with the data loss
◦ Contact name
◦ Contact phone number
◦ Summary of how the data loss occurred
◦ Volume of employees impacted
Businesses and organizations that fall victim to the scam and/or organizations that only receive a suspect email but do not fall victim to the scam should send the full email headers to phishing@irs.gov and use “W2 Scam” in the subject line.
Employers can learn more at Form W-2/SSN Data Theft: Information for Businesses and Payroll Service Providers.
Employers should be aware that cybercriminals’ scams constantly evolve.
Finance and payroll personnel should be alert to any unusual requests for employee data.
