How we immediately get Notices of Bank Levy and Bank Garnishment  Released.

As former IRS Agents, Managers and Instructors we have issued thousands of IRS Wage/Garnishment and Bank Levies. We know exactly how to quickly get them released. We have what it takes.

1. We immediately send a power of attorney to the IRS letting them know we are now your representative. You will never have to speak to them.

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-F (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.

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. 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.

Do your homework before hiring a Professional Tax Firm. Make sure they have on staff Board Certified Tax Attorneys, Lawyers, CPAs, Former IRS Agents and Managers. Also, check the following to ensure the creditability and history of the Tax Firm.

How to File a Trust Fund Penalty Appeal – Former IRS Agents your best Tax Defense

Do you need to file a written protest for a Trust Fund Penalty Appeal ?

Here is the accepted format of the appeal. If the protest is not in this form it may be rejected by the IRS.

If you need professional representation call us for a free tax consultation. We are tax experts in this matter. We were former IRS Tax Instructor who taught the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty at the IRS.

Filing the Formal Written Protest

Elements of a formal written protest:

1.Send the letter requesting an Appeals conference to the attention of the Person to Contact at the address shown on the top of Letter 1153 (DO).

2.List the taxpayer’s name, address and social security number on the letter.

3.Enclose a copy of the Letter 1153 (DO) or list the date and number of the letter received.

4.List the tax periods being protested.

5.Enclose a list of the disputed issues and the reasons for the disagreement.

6.Identify the dates and amount of any payments in dispute.

7.Include specific dates, names, amounts and locations which support his or her position.

8.Include a clear explanation of the taxpayer’s duties and responsibilities, specifically the duty and authority to collect, account for and pay the trust fund taxes.

Sign the written protest under penalties of perjury by making the following statement (the jurat): “Under the penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined the facts stated in this protest, including any accompanying documents, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct and complete.”

Caution:

If the taxpayer’s representative prepares and signs the protest for the taxpayer, the representative must substitute a declaration stating:

1. He or she submitted the protest and accompanying documents.
2. He or she knows personally that the facts stated in the protest and accompanying documents are true and correct.

Collection will send a taxpayer’s case to Appeals, even if the taxpayer fails to perfect the protest. This is to ensure that any taxpayer who wishes to appeal will have the opportunity to do so.
