How to Find a SOLID Tax Company for IRS Problems & Tax Relief

Fresh Start Tax
The IRS has come out with several tax bulletins regarding fraudulent tax resolution companies within the past years warning the taxpayers to stay away from scam artists and companies making false claims.
Not only is the Internal Revenue Service warning taxpayers, the Atty. Gen. in three states have closed up three of the giant  IRS  tax resolution  problems company’s for a variety of reasons.
Because advertising through television and other media has driven so much work into these companies, the staff there simply cannot handle the work.
You may have heard of some of these firms.  They are JK Harris, Ronnie Deutch, and Tax Masters.
These firms have taken large retainers from taxpayers and have failed to do any work on closing their files with the Internal Revenue Service.
Several lawsuits of been filed and criminal charges have been filed against some of the fraudsters.
The numbers are going through the roof of  tax companies that are scamming taxpayers into thinking they can settle their case for pennies on the dollar and relieving by IRS Problems.
The tax resolution industry for the most part has been turned over to sales people.
Many of these persons have worked other business verticals such as mortgage, real estate and credit relief programs. When their industry changes because of economic reasons or changes due to the federal law, these companies and sales people are forced to find other business verticals to work.
A large number of these sales people have found their way in IRS Tax Relief and Resolution business.
While many of  them are good persons in general, they have no business working in an industry they know absolutely nothing about. Many of these companies are in business today and gone tomorrow and many times with your money.
We believe at some point the Internal Revenue Service is due a step in and regulate the tax relief, tax resolution business.
You can avoid many of these problems if you follow this practical common sense advice:
1. Check the Better Business Bureau report on the Company. If the company is not “A” plus rated, flee. Beware, many of these companies change names every couple of years and acquire a new business rating.
2. Find out if there is a Tax Attorney , CPA  or Former IRS Agents on staff. Ask to speak directly to them.
In legitimate companies,  Attorneys and CPA’s usually will not lend their names to scam artists. Beware of tax companies too that sub their work out to third party firms that are not connected with the company. This is a ploy used by most tax companies for IRS problems. When this occurs, communications and the processing of notice and letters in IRS correspondence fall through the cracks.
3. Check out how long the principles have been practicing tax or tax law. Most solid companies will find their principles have been practicing at least ten years or more.
4. Ask if the company guarantees their work. If a company is guaranteeing their work, flee again. No one can guarantee IRS results.
If they guarantee your money will be returned if they are not successful, that’s another story. This is a good place to check the Better Business Bureau rating  and check their complaint history.
5. Interview the person that may work your case. Ask about his or her credentials and IRS work experience.
6.  Skype the person face to face.
Ask if the person has a video conferencing system. You will get a good feel with a face to face.
7. Check out the Bio of the principles and staff.
Most companies on the Internet will not provide the bios of their professional staff because they are hiring third parties to do the work. This is another warning sign that you may be getting into problems.

Various Tax Options to help resolve your IRS or Florida State Tax Debt

 
There are general rules to resolve your IRS or Florida State tax debt or tax debt that is owed to the Internal Revenue Service.
All government agencies whether it be Federal or State  will require a current and verifiable financial statement. Each government agency has there own individual financial statement for the purpose of solving tax debt situations.
Your financial statement will solely determine the outcome of your case.
It is extremely important to have it professionally prepared and reviewed.
Our firm will do a no-cost evaluation on your financial statement and offer different tax options and solutions for you to settle your IRS or State tax Florida debt.
 

Each Government agency will require:

 

  • proof of all income,
  • proof of all expenses,
  • last pay stubs
  • and the last six months worth of bank statements.

 
You want to make sure your financial statement is as accurate as possible that’s why it is best to use a tax professional who understands the trapping of the financial statements that are given to taxpayers who will owe money on back tax debt.
Being former agents we know exactly what both the IRS and state agencies look for and we know how to find success for you that fits the current needs that you have of your current financial condition.
You will need to send the financial statement and all current documentation to the government agency for a full review.
Both the state and federal governments use a very methodical process to evaluate a financial statement. Whatever you do, do not be naïve.
There is a very specific formula that’s used and will be administered by the government agent agency to resolve your tax debt problem.
Both the IRS and the state of Florida will use a national and regional standard tests to determine access monthly income. You can find those charts on website.
Once the agency, whether it be the state or the Internal Revenue Service, there will generally have three options available to resolve or close your IRS or state tax debt.
 

Options to settle and resolve an IRS or State of Florida Tax Debt

 
The State of Florida, Department of Revenue agency has the same type of resolution procedures after conducting a review of your financial statement.
 
You will either be placed into:

1. We  can immediately send a power of attorney to the IRS letting them know we are now your tax representative. You will never have to speak to the IRS.  We handle all communication.

2. We will make sure all your tax returns are filed and current.
If your  income or business tax returns are not up to date, the IRS will refuse to work your case. This is leverage that they use to get you compliant with all tax laws.
We can pull tax transcripts, file and prepare your tax returns within days, even if you have lost your tax records. We are experts in tax reconstruction.

3. The IRS requires a current financial statement.
We will secure a required 433-A  or 433F (IRS financial statement), verify the income and expenses and work out a settlement agreement. The IRS will require a closing settlement method for each case.
4. We review with our clients how they want to settle their case. We get them an agreement based on their current financial needs. All financial statements will need to be fully verified for documentation.

IRS Tax Settlement Agreements can be in different forms:
a.  Tax Hardships.
Cases usually go into a 3 year suspended status because of an inability to pay. This is also called currently noncollectable. Your case will go into a hardship status because you do not have the income coming in to meet your current expenses. The IRS will use the National Standards Program to assess hardship.
b. Payment Agreements or Installment Agreements
Cases can be closed with agreed upon monthly installment payments to the IRS. We will review the different programs the IRS uses for the lowest possible amount required.
c. IRS Offer in Compromise.
There are three types of OICs:
The IRS may accept an Offer in Compromise based on three grounds:
1. Doubt as to Collectibility.
Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.
2. Doubt as to Liability.
A legitimate doubt exists that the assessed tax liability is correct. Possible reasons to submit a doubt as to liability offer include:
(1) the examiner made a mistake interpreting the law,
(2) the examiner failed to consider the taxpayer’s evidence or
(3) the taxpayer has new evidence.
3. Effective Tax Administration , Exceptional Circumstances.
 There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists that would allow the IRS to consider an OIC. To be eligible for compromise on this basis, a taxpayer must demonstrate that the collection of the tax would create an economic hardship or would be unfair and inequitable.
Installment Agreements and Small Businesses –  Tax resolutions
The IRS will also make streamlined Installment Agreements available to more small businesses. The payment program will raise the dollar limit to allow additional small businesses to participate.
Small businesses with $25,000 or less in unpaid tax can participate.
Currently, only small businesses with under $10,000 in liabilities can participate. Small businesses will have 24 months to pay.
The streamlined Installment Agreements will be available for small businesses that file either as an individual or as a business.
Small businesses with an unpaid assessment balance greater than $25,000 would qualify for the streamlined Installment Agreement if they pay down the balance to $25,000 or less.
Small businesses will need to enroll in a Direct Debit Installment Agreement to participate.
Offers in Compromise,  IRS Tax Debt Settlements
The IRS is also expanding a new streamlined Offer in Compromise (OIC) program to cover a larger group of struggling taxpayers.
This streamlined OIC is being expanded to allow taxpayers with annual incomes up to $100,000 to participate. In addition, participants must have tax liability of less than $50,000, doubling the current limit of $25,000 or less.
Offers in compromise are subject to acceptance based on legal requirements. An offer-in-compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
Generally, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes that the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. The IRS looks at the taxpayer’s income and assets to make a determination regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.

One of the hot new programs of the IRS for tax settlements is called the Fresh Start Program which is saving thousands of dollars for taxpayers owing money to the IRS. It is also helping taxpayers in the areas of penalty relief, installment payments and offers in compromise. Below is the latest from the IRS.

IRS Penalty Tax Relief

The IRS  new penalty relief  is for the unemployed on failure-to-pay penalties, which are one of the biggest factors a financially distressed taxpayer faces on a tax bill.

To assist those most in need, a six-month grace period on failure-to-pay penalties will be made available to certain wage earners and self-employed individuals.

The request for an extension of time to pay will result in relief from the failure to pay penalty for tax year 2011 only if the tax, interest and any other penalties are fully paid by Oct. 15, 2012.

The IRS penalty relief will be available to two categories of taxpayers:

1. Wage earners who have been unemployed at least 30 consecutive days during 2011 or in 2012 up to the April 17 deadline for filing a federal tax return this year.
2. Self-employed individuals who experienced a 25 percent or greater reduction in business income in 2011 due to the economy.

This penalty relief is subject to income limits.

A taxpayer’s income must not exceed $200,000 if he or she files as married filing jointly or not exceed $100,000 if he or she files as single or head of household.

This penalty relief is also restricted to taxpayers whose calendar year 2011 balance due does not exceed $50,000.

Taxpayers meeting the eligibility criteria will need to complete a new Form 1127A to seek the 2011 penalty relief.

The failure-to-pay penalty is generally half of 1 percent per month with an upper limit of 25 percent. Under this new relief, taxpayers can avoid that penalty until Oct. 15, 2012, which is six months beyond this year’s filing deadline.

The IRS is still legally required to charge interest on unpaid back taxes and does not have the authority to waive this charge, which is currently 3 percent on an annual basis.

Installment Agreements or Payment Agreements

The Fresh Start provisions also mean that more taxpayers will have the ability to use streamlined installment agreements to catch up on back taxes.

The threshold for using an installment agreement without having to supply the IRS with a financial statement has been raised from $25,000 to $50,000.

This is a huge reduction in taxpayer burden to the IRS.

A taxpayer who owe up to $50,000 in back taxes will now be able to enter into a streamlined agreement with the IRS that stretches the payment out over a series of months or years.

The maximum term for streamlined installment agreements has also been raised to 72 months from the current 60-month maximum. Yes you now have over 72 months to back back the IRS plus interest, that never goes away.

Taxpayers seeking installment agreements exceeding $50,000 will still need to supply the IRS with a Collection Information Statement (Form 433-A or Form 433-F).

Taxpayers can also pay down their balance due to $50,000 or less to take advantage of this payment option.

An installment agreement is an option for those who cannot pay their entire tax bills by the due date. Penalties are reduced, although interest continues to accrue on the outstanding balance.

In order to qualify for the new expanded streamlined installment agreement, a taxpayer must agree to monthly direct debit payments.

 

The Offer in Compromise or the Tax Debt Settlement

Under the first round of Fresh Start, the IRS expanded a new streamlined Offer in Compromise (OIC) program to cover a larger group of struggling taxpayers.

An OIC is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.

For example, the IRS has more flexibility with financial analysis for determining reasonable collection potential for distressed taxpayers.

Generally, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes that the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement.

The IRS looks at the taxpayer’s income and assets to make a determination regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.

To see if you qualify for any of these new programs call us today for a no cost professional tax consult.
