The process ; How we can immediately get Notices of Bank Levy and Wage 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.
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. 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.

The Treasury Inspector General has found a problem with the waiting call time to IRS.
Any tax professional can telling you IRS has a MAJOR PROBLEM. This problem will probably never be addressed because of budget cuts.
The call times reported below is for the general phone number to IRS . Try to call IRS Collections ? You may die waiting for them to answers.
The Inspectors General Report.
More taxpayers are calling the IRS’s toll-free telephone lines every year. During the 2011 Filing Season, the IRS received approximately 80 million attempts to call the toll-free telephone lines, up from 54 million (48 percent), during the 2007 Filing Season—the last filing season with a Level of Service more than 80 percent. Taxpayers waited on average 10 minutes to speak to an assistor, a 137 percent increase since the 2007 Filing Season.
The IRS exceeded its key 2011 Filing Season toll?free telephone assistance performance goals. The IRS planned to achieve a 71 percent Level of Service and a 680-second Average Speed of Answer. Instead, it achieved a 74.6 percent Level of Service and a 596?second Average Speed of Answer.
During Fiscal Year 2008, the IRS implemented the Estimated Wait Time Message Pilot on six toll-free telephone applications. The message provides a real?time message that informs taxpayers of their expected wait time to reach an assistor. This allows taxpayers to make more informed decisions on whether to wait for an assistor or hang up and call at another time. Currently, the Estimated Wait Time Message is on 74 percent of the IRS’s assistor-staffed applications.
TIGTA evaluated a sample of 33 calls made to the toll?free 1-800-829-1040 telephone number that individual taxpayers call to ask tax account or tax law questions. The IRS provided an Estimated Wait Time Message and an assistor answered on 30 calls. The other three calls were disconnected prior to reaching an assistor or an Estimated Wait Time was not given.
The Estimated Wait Time was accurate for 24 (80 percent) of 30 calls.

IRS Issues Guidance on Tax Treatment of Cell Phones; Provides Small Business Record keeping Relief
IR-2011-93, Sept. 14, 2011
The Internal Revenue Service today issued guidance designed to clarify the tax treatment of employer-provided cell phones.
The guidance relates to a provision in the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, enacted last fall, that removed cell phones from the definition of listed property, a category under tax law that normally requires additional record keeping by taxpayers.
The Notice issued today provides guidance on the treatment of employer- provided cell phones as an excludable fringe benefit. The Notice provides that when an employer provides an employee with a cell phone primarily for non compensatory business reasons, the business and personal use of the cell phone is generally nontaxable to the employee. The IRS will not require record keeping of business use in order to receive this tax-free treatment.
Simultaneously with the Notice, the IRS announced in a memo to its examiners a similar administrative approach that applies with respect to arrangements common to small businesses that provide cash allowances and reimbursements for work-related use of personally-owned cell phones. Under this approach, employers that require employees, primarily for non compensatory business reasons, to use their personal cell phones for business purposes may treat reimbursements of the employees’ expenses for reasonable cell phone coverage as nontaxable. This treatment does not apply to reimbursements of unusual or excessive expenses or to reimbursements made as a substitute for a portion of the employee’s regular wages.
Under the guidance issued today, where employers provide cell phones to their employees or where employers reimburse employees for business use of their personal cell phones, tax-free treatment is available without burdensome recordkeeping requirements. The guidance does not apply to the provision of cell phones or reimbursement for cell-phone use that is not primarily business related, as such arrangements are generally taxable.
