You can file back file back tax returns and settle all at the same time why, because we know the system.
We have over 100 years of combined IRS experience and know the protocols and the systems to make this a very simple and affordable process.
With or without records we can file unfiled, back or late tax returns and settle your case all at the same time.
The bottom line is, we know the system. Since 1982 we have been working tax cases and prior to that we worked at the Internal Revenue Service as revenue officers, revenue agents, office orders, managers, supervisors and teaching instructors. We know the system inside and out and know the exact methodologies to close your case without worry.
Many taxpayers fail to file back tax returns because they are afraid of what IRS will do, but at some point in time IRS will demand that your tax returns be filed. After working thousands of cases we have found that after the first year, many taxpayers just bury their head in the sand hoping the problem will go away.
The IRS computer system
The taxpayer should know that IRS does not catch up to you in the first year but after IRS receives a W-2 or a 1099 the hunt starts. IRS has a multitude of resources to find out where you bank and were you work so it is in your best interest to make sure your tax returns are filed.
If you do not file the returns IRS has the right under 6020b of the Internal Revenue Code to file your tax returns for you. If they do you will pay the highest amount of tax by law.
Many people do not receive their 6020 B notice advising them that IRS created a tax assessment against them and wake up one day finding out that their wages have been garnished or their bank account has been levy or seized. Many times taxpayers move and leave no forwarding so the IRS is free to do what they wish to.
Other people do not file because they have lost their records and now they’re stuck and have no idea what the next step is.
We have a unique way of reconstructing your tax return because of our experience at the IRS and knowing the formulas to complete tax return.
If someone has lost the records or cannot find all their records to complete your tax return with one call we can explain our process to you and get you back on the road to recovery to file all your back tax returns and work out a settlement all at the same time without worry, fear, and anxiety from the Internal Revenue Service.
Once we file a power of attorney, the Internal Revenue Service is not allowed to contact you and all communications must go through our offices.
We are your insurance and best tax defense against the Internal Revenue Service.
How the IRS will work your open collection case.
If you will money to the Internal Revenue Service they will require a current financial statement on a form 433 a or 433F.
The Internal Revenue Service will want to see complete documentation on that form with copies of bank statements, pay stubs, expenses, before it makes a determination on how they will close your case.
As a general rule, the IRS has 3 closing buckets that they usually put you one.
IRS can either put you into:
1.currently non-collectible or hardship case which stays in the system for 1 to 3 years,
2.IRS may put you into an installment payment, or,
3. you could be settlement eligible for a settlement called an offer in compromise.
When you call us today for a free initial tax consultation we will walk you through the process to get your tax returns filed and settle your case all at the same time for affordable professional pricing.

HOW IRS WORKS TAX DEBT CASES
When dealing with a taxpayer who owes back taxes, one of the first things IRS does when they work a case is to conduct a full compliance check.
A full compliance check means that the IRS will check on the filing statuses of every year to make sure you are in full compliance and they will request and mandate that all tax returns are on the IRS system before they will close your case off the enforcement computer.
If you have not filed all tax returns we can file all back tax returns and make sure you pay the lowest amount of tax by law. With or without tax records we can reconstruct your tax return because being former IRS agents we know the system. You should also know that if you have not filed for many back years IRS will only require filing of the last six years.
In some cases you can make an IRS payment agreement online if you meet the various requirements that IRS has. When you call our office we will let you know whether you qualify for an installment payment online.
For those of you who do not qualify for an online payment the Internal Revenue Service will require a current financial statement.
As a general rule, those financial statements will be on a form 433F, 433A.
If the cases at the service center the service center will request the F and if it is in the local office they will require the A. The Internal Revenue Service will a current financial statement fully documented along with bank statements, pay stubs, and copies of all expenses.
IRS will look to see if you have any assets that you can liquidate to pay in full and if that cannot be done there are two other options.
The first is the payment agreement and the second, you can be deemed currently not collectible and IRS can put you in a hardship status if you are truly having a financial hardship in your life.
Some taxpayers can qualify for an offer in compromise which they can settle their debt for pennies on a dollar.
Upon calling our office we first try to find out if you can settle your debt to completely extinguish the liability.

Since the federal government needs money a genius idea came up, lets revoke passports on back taxes thus forcing international travelers to dig deep in their pockets to pay Uncle Sam.
When you think about it, the idea is not a bad one at all because most of the international travelers have some bucks in their pockets, so the government is hitting them where it hurts.
One of the things most American travelers never wants to happen is to have their passport revoked in the fear is driving many to pay their back taxes.
If you are one of those who has that fear but is unable to pay that tax that you may want to call us so we can work out a fair settlement with you and the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS is using the State Department, homeland security and immigration to all get in the mix here to start to enforce the tax law.
Call us today for a free initial tax consultation and we can walk you through the processes of settlement.
Here is how the system in the process works.
Certification Of Individuals With Seriously Delinquent Tax Debt
Seriously delinquent tax debt is an individual’s unpaid, legally enforceable federal tax debt totaling more than $51,000 (including interest and penalties) for which a:
• Notice of federal tax lien has been filed and all administrative remedies under IRC § 6320 have lapsed or been exhausted or
• Levy has been issued
Seriously delinquent tax debt is limited to liabilities incurred under Title 26 of the United States Code and does not include debts collected by the IRS such as the FBAR Penalty and Child Support.
Some tax debt is not included in determining seriously delinquent tax debt even if it meets the above criteria. It includes tax debt:
• Being paid timely with an IRS-approved installment agreement
• Being paid timely with an offer in compromise accepted by the IRS, or a settlement agreement entered with the Justice Department
• For which a collection due process hearing is timely requested regarding a levy to collect the debt
• For which collection has been suspended because a request for innocent spouse relief under IRC § 6015 has been made
Additionally, a passport won’t be at risk under this program for any taxpayer:
• Who is in bankruptcy
• Who is identified by the IRS as a victim of tax-related identity theft
• Whose account the IRS has determined is currently not collectible due to hardship
• Who is located within a federally declared disaster area
• Who has a request pending with the IRS for an installment agreement
• Who has a pending offer in compromise with the IRS
• Who has an IRS accepted adjustment that will satisfy the debt in full
Certification will be postponed while an individual is serving in a designated combat zone or participating in a contingency operation.
Before denying a passport, the State Department will hold your application for 90 days to allow you to:
• Resolve any erroneous certification issues
• Make full payment of the tax debt
• Enter a satisfactory payment arrangement with the IRS
Annual Adjustment For Inflation
The $51,000 threshold is indexed yearly for inflation
Under new Code Section 7345(f), in the case of a calendar year beginning after 2016, the dollar amount in new Code Section 7345 shall be increased by an amount equal to (1) such dollar amount, multiplied by (2) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under Code Section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year, determined by substituting “calendar year 2015” for “calendar year 1992” in Code Section 1(f)(3)(B).
If any amount as adjusted under the preceding sentence is not a multiple of $1,000, such amount shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1,000.
Taxpayer Notification – Notice CP 508C
The IRS is required to notify you in writing at the time the IRS certifies seriously delinquent tax debt to the State Department. The IRS is also required to notify you in writing at the time it reverses certification. The IRS will send written notice by regular mail to your last known address.
Note: Your Power of attorney (POA) will not receive a copy of your CP508C.
Reversal Of Certification – Notice CP 508R
The IRS will reverse a certification when:
• The tax debt is fully satisfied or becomes legally unenforceable.
• The tax debt is no longer seriously delinquent.
• The certification is erroneous.
The IRS will make this reversal within 30 days and provide notification to the State Department as soon as practicable.
A previously certified debt is no longer seriously delinquent when:
• You and the IRS enter into an installment agreement allowing you to pay the debt over time.
• The IRS accepts an offer in compromise to satisfy the debt.
• The Justice Department enters into a settlement agreement to satisfy the debt.
• Collection is suspended because you request innocent spouse relief under IRC § 6015.
• You make a timely request for a collection due process hearing regarding a levy to collect the debt.
The IRS will not reverse certification where a taxpayer requests a collection due process hearing or innocent spouse relief on a debt that is not the basis of the certification. Also, the IRS will not reverse the certification because the taxpayer pays the debt below $50,000.
Judicial Review Of Certification
The State Department is held harmless in these matters and cannot be sued for any erroneous notification or failed decertification under IRC § 7345.
If the IRS certified your debt to the State Department, you can file suit in the U.S. Tax Court or a U.S. District Court to have the court determine whether the certification is erroneous or the IRS failed to reverse the certification when it was required to do so. If the court determines the certification is erroneous or should be reversed, it can order the IRS to notify the State Department that the certification was in error.
IRC § 7345 does not provide the court authority to release a lien or levy or award money damages in a suit to determine whether a certification is erroneous. You are not required to file an administrative claim or otherwise contact the IRS to resolve the erroneous certification issue before filing suit in the U.S. Tax Court or a U.S. District Court.
Payment Of Taxes
If you can’t pay the full amount you owe, you can make alternative payment arrangements such as an installment agreement or an offer in compromise to have your certification reversed.
If you disagree with the tax amount or the certification was made in error, you should contact the phone number listed on Notice CP 508C: 1-866- 519-4965 (International callers: 1-267-941-1004). If you’ve already paid the tax debt, please send proof of that payment to the address on the Notice CP 508C.
If you recently filed your tax return for the current year and expect a refund, the IRS will apply the refund to the debt and if the refund is sufficient to satisfy your seriously delinquent tax debt, the account is considered fully paid.
Passport Status
If your U.S. passport application is denied or your U.S. passport is revoked, the State Department will notify you in writing.
If you need your U.S. passport to keep your job, once your seriously delinquent tax debt is certified, you must fully pay the balance, or make an alternative payment arrangement to have your certification reversed.
Once you’ve resolved your tax problem with the IRS, the IRS will reverse the certification within 30 days of resolution of the issue and provide notification to the State Department as soon as practicable.
Travel
If you’re leaving in a few days for international travel, need to resolve passport issues and have a pending application for a U.S. passport, you should call the phone number listed on Notice CP 508C – If you already have a U.S. passport, you can use your passport until you’re notified by the State Department that it has been revoked.
If your passport is cancelled or revoked, after you’re certified, you must resolve the tax debt by paying the debt in full, making alternative payment arrangements or showing that the certification is erroneous.
The IRS will reverse your certification within 30 days of the date the tax debt is resolved and provide notification to the State Department as soon as practicable.

Upon receiving certification, the State Department shall deny your passport application and/or may revoke your current passport.
