If the IRS has found you a responsible person for the trust fund penalty, call us today for free initial tax consultation and we will walk you through the process of resolving this tax at once and for all. as former IRS agents we set up trust fund penalties against responsible persons for corporations or businesses that owed back payroll taxes.
If a company can no longer pay their back payroll taxes, the Internal Revenue Service has the right under 6672 to set up the trust fund debt against those who are held responsible. This is called the trust fund penalty.
Who Can Be Responsible for the Trust Fund Taxes, code section 6672.
The usual suspects found liable by IRS are usually those that were:
An officer or an employee of a corporation;
A member or employee of a partnership;
A corporate director or shareholder or member;
A member of a board of trustees of a nonprofit organization, or anyone deemed to be responsible;
Other persons with authority and who had control over funds to direct their disbursement;
Those who willfully and with full knowledge chose not to pay the payroll tax liability.
You’ll know if you are one of these persons because you will receive IRS form 2751 & 1153 indicating a proposed notice of assessment against you.Many times it takes a year to two years before IRS sets up these administrative trust fund taxes against responsible persons.
There are various options available. As soon as we review your case we can instantly tell you ways to help resolve your problem.
Being former IRS agents and managers we know every possible solution to remedy this tax debt. We can resolve and possibly reduce your tax obligation.
There are various options you have for tax relief:
The basic options include:
1. trust fund appeals, the possibility of an offer in compromise, doubt to liability,
2.hardships, or currently not collectible,
3. payments plan, and
4. the offer in compromise, if you are a qualified and suitable candidate.
5. bankruptcy is another option.
The Process of Getting IRS Tax Debt Relief on Trust Fund Tax Debt
We need to look to find out if you were truly responsible under 6672 of the IRS code. many time IRS ram rods these penalties to people who truly were not responsible for trust fund taxes.
I’ve work so many cases and being a former IRS agent IRS just tries to set these penalties up against everybody and many people do not have proper representation to fight IRS.
We will carefully review your case to find out if you were truly responsible for the trust fund penalty.
We will conduct a review to find out if there is any way that we can appeal for change the assessment of this trust fund tax.
If we feel we would’ve beat this assessment through the appellate process we can go ahead and file an offer in compromise as to doubt as to liability and appeal this assessment.
If you are responsible for the tax, IRS will take a current financial statement and make a determination based on the collectibility of the tax.
How the Internal Revenue Service will work your case if you owe the IRS tax debt.
IRS will require a 433A or 433F, an individual financial statement.
Many times the IRS uses 433F, depending were the cases in the system. Cases worked in the ACS system uses shorter version of the financial statement.
If the case is worked in the local office the revenue officer will use form 433.A
That financial statement will need to be fully documented along with bank statements, copies of checks and monthly expenses.
We will walk you through the process of how the IRS will work your case in the collection action that can possibly taken.
Will also review with you the IRS national standards program on all cases for those who owe back taxes.
Once IRS reviews your current financial statement they will make a determination and generally put you in one of two categories with the option of filing an offer in compromise.
IRS has the option to:
1.IRS determines on 40% of the cases that taxpayers are put into hardship which means they can’t pay the tax at this time. Sometimes it is called currently not collectible. Cases that are placed at currently not collectible or hardship stay in there for a period of 2 to 3 years and come back out to the field at a later time.
2. 6.5 million people enter monthly payment plans and pay a certain amount based on their current documented financial statement.
Other taxpayers file an offer in compromise to settle their case for pennies on the dollar. The offer in compromise requires a lot of skill and expertise to have accepted by the Internal Revenue Service.
What is an IRS offer in compromise?
It is an agreement between a taxpayer and the Internal Revenue Service that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
Taxpayers who can fully pay the liabilities through an installment agreement or other means, will not be eligible for a OIC in most cases.
In order to be eligible for a OIC, the taxpayer must have filed all tax returns, made all required estimated tax payments for the current year and made all required federal tax deposits for the current quarter if the taxpayer is a business owner with employees.
In most cases, the IRS will not accept a OIC unless the amount offered by a taxpayer is equal to or greater than the reasonable collection potential (the RCP).
The RCP is how the IRS measures the taxpayer’s ability to pay. The RCP includes the value that can be realized from the taxpayer’s assets, such as real property, automobiles, bank accounts, and other property.
In addition to property, the RCP also includes anticipated future income less certain amounts allowed for basic living expenses.
The IRS may accept a OIC based on three grounds:
1• First, the IRS can accept a compromise if there is doubt as to liability. A compromise meets this only when there is a genuine dispute as to the existence or amount of the correct tax debt under the law.
2• Second, the IRS can accept a compromise if there is doubt that the amount owed is fully collectible. Doubt as to collectibility exists in any case where the taxpayer’s assets and income are less than the full amount of the tax liability.
3• Third, the IRS can accept a compromise based on effective tax administration. An offer may be accepted based on effective tax administration when there is no doubt that the tax is legally owed and that the full amount owed can be collected, but requiring payment in full would either create an economic hardship or would be unfair and inequitable because of exceptional circumstances.
When submitting a OIC based on doubt as to collectibility or based on effective tax administration, taxpayers must use the most current version of:
1. Form 656, Offer in Compromise, and also submit Form 433-A (OIC), Collection Information Statement for Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals, and/or,
2. Form 433-B (OIC), Collection Information Statement for Businesses. A taxpayer submitting a OIC based on doubt as to liability must file a Form 656-L (PDF), Offer in Compromise (Doubt as to Liability), instead of Form 656 and Form 433-A (OIC) and/or Form 433-B (OIC).
Form 656 and referenced collection information statements are available in the Offer in Compromise Booklet, Form 656-B (PDF).
In general, a taxpayer must submit a $186 application fee with the Form 656. Do not combine this fee with any other tax payments.
However, there are two exceptions to this requirement:
• First, no application fee is required if the OIC is based on doubt as to liability.
• Second, the fee is not required if the taxpayer is an individual (not a corporation, partnership, or other entity) who qualifies for the low-income exception.
This exception applies if the taxpayer’s total monthly income falls at or below 250 percent of the poverty guidelines published by the Department of Health and Human Services. Section 4 of Form 656 contains the Low Income Certification guidelines to assist taxpayers in determining whether they qualify for the low-income exception.
A taxpayer who claims the low-income exception must complete section 4 of Form 656 and check the certification box.
Options: Taxpayers may choose to pay the offer amount in a lump sum or in installment payments.
A “lump sum cash offer” is defined as an offer payable in 5 or fewer installments within 5 or fewer months after the offer is accepted. If a taxpayer submits a lump sum cash offer, the taxpayer must include with the Form 656 a nonrefundable payment equal to 20 percent of the offer amount.
This payment is required in addition to the $186 application fee.
The 20 percent payment is “nonrefundable” meaning it will not be returned to the taxpayer even if the offer is rejected or returned to the taxpayer without acceptance.
Instead, the 20 percent payment will be applied to the taxpayer’s tax liability. The taxpayer has a right to specify the particular tax liability to which the IRS will apply the 20 percent payment.
An offer is called a “periodic payment offer” under the tax law if it is payable in 6 or more monthly installments and within 24 months after the offer is accepted.
When submitting a periodic payment offer, the taxpayer must include the first proposed installment payment along with the Form 656.
This payment is required in addition to the $186 application fee. This amount is nonrefundable, just like the 20 percent payment required for a lump sum cash offer. Also, while the IRS is evaluating a periodic payment offer, the taxpayer must continue to make the installment payments provided for under the terms of the offer.
These amounts are applied to the tax liabilities and the taxpayer has a right to specify the particular tax liabilities to which the periodic payments will be applied.
Upon acceptance of a OIC, the taxpayer may no longer designate offer payments to any specific tax liability covered in the offer agreement.
Ordinarily, the statutory time within which the IRS may engage in collection activities is suspended during the period that the OIC is under consideration, and is further suspended if the OIC is rejected by the IRS and where the taxpayer appeals the rejection to the IRS Office of Appeals within 30 days from the date of the notice of rejection.
If the IRS accepts the taxpayer’s offer, the IRS expects that the taxpayer will have no further delinquencies and will fully comply with the tax laws.
The offer in compromise requires a lot of skill because reviewed by several layers of Internal Revenue Service. I should know, I am former IRS agent and teaching instructor of the offer in compromise.
When IRS works an offer in compromise the agent working the case as a general rule will spend at least 20 to 30 hours of working time from start to finish on a completed offer.

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.

Received IRS Letter to File My Back Tax Returns + We Can Help, Former IRS
by Jim Magary | Jan 25, 2016 | Tax Help
We are AFFORDABLE former IRS agents and managers who know the system. We can Stop any IRS bank levy or wage garnishment levy. Since 1982, A plus Rated BBB.
If you have received IRS form 668W, you have received a continuous wage garnishment.
If you have received this 6688 you have received a one-time levy.
As a former IRS agent and teaching instructor I have literally filed thousands of levies and understand the system of how to release them as well. There is a very methodical way to do this and exact system that IRS uses to release both bank and wage garnishment levies.
There are emergency procedures in place in filing for an immediate hardship as long as taxpayers can provide support and documentation for the hardship.
The key to getting immediate relief from a wage garnishment levy is same-day communication to the Internal Revenue Service with documentation supporting the current financial condition of the taxpayer. Stopping and removing levies is our specialty and expertise.
Even in cases where taxpayers are not current on filing their current tax returns IRS will still release wage levy garnishments.
A wage garnishment levy will not go away until Internal Revenue Service sends a release to your employer. As a former IRS agent I used to file form 668W to garnish the wages of taxpayers who did not respond to IRS final notices.
If you have not responded to an IRS final notice the IRS computer system automatically generates a continuous wage garnishment notice. You will not get your next paycheck until you call IRS and get this levy garnishment released.
We can not only stop your IRS bank levy or wage garnishment we can settle and close your case off the IRS enforcement computer at the same time.
We have over 65 years of former IRS work experience in the local, district, and regional tax offices of the Internal Revenue Service. As former IRS agents and managers we were teaching instructors and work to supervisors throughout the region.
You can call us today for initial tax consultation and we can walk you through the process within 10 minutes.
IRS Tax Levies + How to Stop a IRS Bank Tax Levy or a continuous IRS Wage Garnishment Levy NOW
It is important to know where your cases in the system to begin the stop the IRS tax levy.
Some taxpayers were sent a IRS letter 11 indicating that a tax levy was the next step, while others have been sent a IRS tax levy from the ACS unit out of various IRS offices, while others have been sent tax levies by revenue officers in the local offices.
If you have received IRS letter 11 there is a collection due process hearing that can stop the IRS levy.
If your case is in the ACS unit or the local office we can simply send over a power of attorney and start negotiation power to go ahead to get an immediate levy release and settle your IRS case at the same time.
It is important to know the difference between IRS bank levy and wage garnishment levy.
A IRS bank garnishment levy puts a freeze on your bank account for 21 days on the day the bank received the levy.
You can use the account is much as you want during that period of the levy. Only the monies that were in the bank the day of the levy are frozen by the institution.
A wage garnishment levy is an immediate and continuous garnishment whereas approximately 80% of your wages will be sent to the Internal Revenue Service until the levy garnishment is released.
Also IRS has IRS has a right to file a federal tax lien against any and all assets you may have. Those federal tax liens are filed in the courthouse were you claim your residence. many times after IRS files a banker wage garnishment levy on cases over $10,000 IRS has the option and most of the time file a tax lien.
Final Notices before IRS issues a Bank Tax Levy or Garnishment:
Where does Internal Revenue Service (IRS) authority to levy originate?
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) authorizes levies to collect delinquent tax.
See IRC 6331. Any property or right to property that belongs to the taxpayer or on which there is a Federal tax lien can be levied, unless the IRC exempts the property from levy.
What actions must the Internal Revenue Service take before a levy can be issued?
The IRS will usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1. The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment (a tax bill);
2. You neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3. The IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
The IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Please note: if the IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
IRS Billing Notices for IRS Tax Levies & IRS continuous Wage Garnishments
The IRS will send out final notices before levies and seizures after they generally send out a series of five billing notices.
On the fourth notice, taxpayers will receive their final notice in which they can go ahead and file with the appeals division of Internal Revenue Service to stop the levy.
Not only can we go ahead and stop the IRS notice of intent to levy, we can settle your case at the same time.
All your tax returns are going to have to be filed and if that is an issue for you, with or without tax records we can prepare your tax returns.
How IRS Settles Your Collection Case, options!

1.currently not collectible statuses or,
2. ask for a monthly payment agreement.

As a former IRS agent I never found joy in taking someone’s bank account or wages but forced to under internal revenue procedure.
Call us today and learn more about stopping or removing IRS tax levies.
