Here is how our process works.

1. We verbally review a year by year history of your income and expenses.

3  We pull all IRS information that they have received from 3rd party sources that have been placed on the IRS computer system over the past 7 years.
4. If you have lost all your records we have easy and simple forms that can help you reconstruct your tax return.
5. We can prepare through years of experience  a “reconstructed” tax return that the IRS will accept and process.
6. We review all returns for accuracy with the client and send them into the IRS.
7. We work out a settlement agreement with the IRS to permanent close your tax case.

IRS Back Taxes – How we Settle and Negotiate your case with the Internal Revenue Service:

1. We 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.

2. We will make sure all your tax returns are filed and current. If your 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. We can pull tax transcripts, file and prepare your tax returns within days, even if you have lost your tax records.

3. The IRS requires a current financial statement. We will secure a required 433-A (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.

IRS Tax Settlement Agreements can be in different forms:

a. Hardship Settlements. 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. 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.
