If you owe $15,000 or more in taxes, or you have on Unfiled tax returns, you need to hear about the IRS programs available to you.

The IRS can hold on to your refund, take a chunk of your pay, put a federal tax levy or garnishment on your bank account, seize and sell your property and revoke your passport.

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 tax relief examinations are there?
There are several tax relief programs taxpayers can apply for, but only three that offer debt 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 closer settle your case.
The Offer in Compromise Program
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.
The Hardship Program, Currently Non collectible
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.
