We worked out of the local South Florida IRS offices. We worked in the audit, collections, and appeals division as well as former IRS teaching instructors.
We know the system inside and out and are some of the most affordable, trustworthy and notable experts in South Florida. I was a former IRS agent that taught the offer in compromise program.
If you want to file an offer in compromise I thought you’d like to know what the statistics are.
Last year over 78,000 offers in compromise were filed by taxpayers and over 38% of those were accepted for average of $6500 per case.
Keep in mind this is a national average in your case is completely dependent on your individual financial statement.
We will not file for an offer in compromise unless you are a true candidate for the program. There is a pre- qualifier tool.
Upon your initial tax consultation we’ll let you know if you are eligible to have an accepted offer in compromise by the Internal Revenue Service.
As a former IRS agent, I was a teaching instructor for the offer in compromise, the IRS tax debt settlement program.
Due to the new fresh start tax initiative Internal Revenue Service had made it easier to file for the program. However this program is not for everybody.
Everyone wants to settle with IRS but there is a very specific format and methodology that must be followed.
You could hear the truth about the offer in compromise program when you call us.
There are many myths about the pennies on the dollar program so you need to hear the truth before spending any money.
I know the system inside and out. As a former IRS agent I used to accept and reject offers in compromise.
I have heard countless horror stories from taxpayers who called me about firms that have ripped them off promising settlements.
There is a very specific system and methodology to get an offer in compromise approved for pennies on the dollar. Last year 38,000 taxpayers had their cases accepted.
As a former IRS agent I taught the offer in compromise program at the district training center as a former employee.
The question is pennies on the dollar possible to settle tax debt?
Yes, it is as a matter of fact, over 38,000 taxpayers got their debt settled with the Internal Revenue Service for average settlement of $6500 last year.
There were a total of 78,000 applications for the pennies on the dollar, offer in compromise program last year.
With that being said there is much to say about this pennies on the dollar program called the offer in compromise.
At our firm we will take no clients money until we are no they are a true candidate for the settlement program.
There are many myths about the offer in compromise so IRS and in their great wisdom provides a pre-qualifier tool to find out if taxpayers are eligible for the offer in compromise program so taxpayers do not give their hard-earned money to unsuspecting tax firms promising tax settlements.
I would suggest anyone who wants to go ahead and settle their tax debt through the pennies on the dollar, offer in compromise program contact an experienced an honest tax professional, have them walk them through the pre-qualifier tool before they give their money to anybody.
If you have any questions or issues about the offer in compromise program to settle your debt for pennies on the dollar, call us today and we will review your case to let you know if you are a qualified and suitable candidate.
The IRS spends a lot of due diligence before they accept an offer in compromise. It is possible for the IRS to spend over 20 hours working an offer in compromise.
On cases over $100,000 it is typical they will check your credit report for the accuracy of your financial statement. The higher the dollar case the greater the due diligence.
Many people ask why is this process not that simple. The answer is this, all accepted offers in compromise are a matter of public record for one year in the regional office where the offer was accepted.
The Internal Revenue Service does all that it can to make sure there is a matter of consistency within the offer in compromise program if not still be a tremendous public outcry.
Right now there are over 7500 cases in the offer queue to be worked by local agents. Keep in mind the current wait time is approximately 9 months.

Taxpayers Who Deduct Potential Hobby Losses to Offset Other Income
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) today publicly released its audit report of the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) methods of addressing taxpayers who take business tax deductions for activities not engaged in for profit.
TIGTA found that the IRS can improve its methods for identifying high-income taxpayers who may be offsetting their income with “hobby losses” from unprofitable business activity.
The tax code allows taxpayers to deduct all ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred in carrying on a trade or business.
However, in the “hobby loss” provision in the tax code, the IRS generally disallows business tax deductions for activities not engaged in for profit.
TIGTA found that the IRS does not maximize the use of all relevant and available taxpayer information to identify hobby losses, and when returns containing potential hobby losses are selected for audit, the examiners do not always address the hobby loss issues.
A September 2007 TIGTA report found that approximately 1.2 million taxpayers in Tax Year 2005 may have used hobby losses to reduce their taxable incomes to potentially avoid paying $2.8 billion in taxes. Identifying and auditing additional individual returns that improperly deduct hobby losses could help to reduce noncompliance in this area.
This audit was initiated as a follow-up to that previous 2007 report to determine whether the IRS was maximizing opportunities to identify the most significant Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business, noncompliance.
The overall objective of this review was to determine whether the IRS is taking sufficient action to minimize improper Schedule C losses claimed by taxpayers.
TIGTA’s evaluation of IRS data from Processing Years 2011 through 2014 identified 9,699 individual returns from Tax Year 2013 that claimed a Schedule C loss of at least $20,000, gross receipts of $20,000 or less, and reported wages of at least $100,000. The taxpayers also reported losses in four consecutive years (Tax Years 2010 to 2013).
TIGTA’s review of a statistically valid sample of 100 returns determined that 88 returns (88 percent) showed an indication that the Schedule C businesses were not engaged in for profit.
TIGTA estimates that 7,511 returns in the total sample population of taxpayers may have inappropriately used hobby loss expenses to reduce taxes by as much as $70.9 million for Tax Year 2013.
“Taxpayers with significant amounts of income from other sources may attempt to reduce their tax liability by including losses from activities not engaged in for profit,” said J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. “The IRS needs to effectively identify these taxpayers in order to deter future non-compliance,” he added.
TIGTA recommended that the IRS:
1) make use of its research capabilities to identify high-income individual returns with multiyear Schedule C losses and other factors that indicate the taxpayer may not have a profit or capital gain motive for the activity, and
2) emphasize the importance of the required checks of filed tax returns in the preliminary determination of whether to pursue a hobby loss issue and provide tools to assist examiners in documenting their conclusion.
In response to the report, IRS management agreed with TIGTA’s recommendations and plans to take corrective actions.

To Remove or Release a IRS Tax Levies & Wage Garnishments
IRS usually levies 1.9 million taxpayers and businesses each and every year, so have you if you have received an IRS tax levy you are not alone. IRS is the largest collection and billing machine in the world. IRS tax levy goes out systemically not a human hand touches a tax levy.
An IRS tax Levy usually comes in two forms.
1. Bank levy or a,
2.IRS wage garnishment levy.
Both IRS tax levies are different. It is important for you to understand the difference.
An IRS Bank Levy puts a freeze on your money for 21 days where an IRS wage garnishment levy is an immediate seizure of your paycheck.
The bank will send your frozen funds to IRS on the 22nd day.
The IRS will give you 21 days to work out a settlement before they receive the funds. your employer is mandated by law to send your next paycheck to the Internal Revenue Service if they have received a wage garnishment notice.
Certain exemptions apply but approximately 80% of your check will go to the Internal Revenue Service because of the IRS tax levy garnishment.
As a separate footnote IRS gets all their levy source information from your last six years of file tax returns.
If you want your money back is a result of a wage garnishment levy you will have to communicate with the Internal Revenue Service.

As former IRS Agents & Managers we understand every system necessary to make this a seamless and easy process for you. as a general rule cases are closed by Internal Revenue Service after reviewing a current financial statement.
