How does IRS dispose of Tax Debt Cases?
The 5 ways or programs for IRS Tax Debt are the following:
1. By Payment in full,
2. By monthly installment payments,
3. By the Acceptance of an offer in compromise, (this is how your completely eliminate the tax debt)
4. By statue expiration. (this is how your completely eliminate the tax debt)
5. For those who cannot pay their debt IRS has a non-collectible or hardship program.
Upon your initial free tax consultation we will walk through the various programs and let you know the easiest way to resolve your back tax debt.
The most important aspect of working tax debt cases is completely dependent on the individual or business financial statements. It is the most important factor.
Your current documented financial statement determines all.
IRS uses a very simple formula to determine their settlement process.
It is all about your assets and your income and your current necessary living expenses. There is a very specific formula.
IRS only allows certain expenses that are considered necessary living expenses.
There are charts available on what IRS allows. Anything not on those charts are disallowed and this is what trips out most taxpayers.
A simple review of your current financial statement and we can let you know the different programs you may be eligible for.
You will need to complete form 433F or form 433A for us to make a current determination. IRS will only use their financial statements.
It is critically important to know that you cannot pay less taxes unless you qualify for the offer in compromise program.
IRS has a very specific formula that they use to compute the offer in compromise.
The only way you can pay less tax is through the offer in compromise program. There is also an IRS pre-qualifier form.
I have over 40 years in this industry and it is critical if you want to settle your tax debt for the lowest possible amount you should go to true tax professionals.
All your tax returns will have to be filed before IRS will work your offer in compromise.
If you need help with your tax preparation call us and we can have a staff of Experts accountants and tax preparers complete all returns with or without records.
If you are a non-filer, no worries, we can fix that immediately
Also beware that many times the Internal Revenue Service want to make sure you are current in your withholding tax or your estimate tax payments are they will not close your work your case until you become fully compliant.
Beware of most IRS tax settlement services companies.
We have been in this industry a long time there are many good companies in as many bad tax settlement service companies. For you to evaluate in IRS tax settlement service company you must ask to speak directly to the person who will be working your case.
Generally, when you call a tax services company, you are speaking to what is called a closer. That person is a salesman and will actually bill you and charge you for the services then your case gets passed down the line.
When you call fresh start tax, you will speak directly to the person who works your case and that person can give you a true evaluation on how and if IRS will accept an IRS tax settlement .
Check out the BBB rating and make sure you have a true tax professional working your case.
I suggest you always hire someone who’s worked at the IRS because they are aware of the methodologies required to get your offer in compromise through the system.
Different ways to Solve Back IRS Tax Debt
As a general rule, you may apply for hardships, payment agreements or settle for an offer in compromise to settle your debt for pennies on the dollar.
We will review with you your financial statement and let you know what the lowest possible settlement IRS will accept. 40% of all persons that owe back taxes are issue into a hardship or are currently not collectible status and 6.5 million taxpayers enter into annual payment agreements.
The other way to pay less tax is for the ten-year statute of limitation to run out and your debt will be written off by the Internal Revenue Service.
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/IRS tax debt settlements were filed by taxpayers and over 38% of those were accepted for average of $6500 per case. Approximately 40,000 taxpayers last year paid less tax.
At the current time there are 7500 cases in the offer queue. The average wait time is nine months. There are not enough IRS employees to work the current inventory.
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. You must qualify.
There is a pre qualifier tool to find out if you are a settlement candidate for income or business tax debt.
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.
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.
There are many myths about the pennies on the dollar program so you need to hear the truth before spending any money.
There are many firms that take your money and then let you know after the fact you are not qualified. you need to know before hand whether you have a fighting chance. Being a former IRS agent employee gives you a huge advantage of having the review your offer in compromise to settle your tax debt.
At our firm we will take no clients money until we are no they are a true candidate for the settlement program.

Owe Back IRS Taxes, best to look to A Former Local IRS Agent who can help with EVERYTHING.
by Fresh Start Tax | Jul 16, 2020 | Tax Help
If you are not happy with the decision of a IRS agent and or a ruling IRS ruling your next step is to go to the IRS appeals function.
There is no magic wand in going to the Appellate Division of Internal Revenue Service for any reason.I am a former IRS agent and teaching instructor with the IRS.
There are strict standards, formulas, methodologies, and internal revenue manuals that guides and govern every action that any IRS agent takes whether it is a collector, auditor, or any other agent.
The same is true for the IRS appeals function.
So, if you are not happy with the outcome of your case the next step is to go to the appeals function and there you will find a willing IRS agent ready to work your case and it is critical you understand the “IRS hazards of litigation in appeals.”
The IRS hazards of litigation is going to be something that the appellate agent will use find out whether they want to accept or deny the case.
It is not an exact science.
More importantly, the hazards of litigation theory is simply based on the fact whether the IRS agent feels confident they will take the case to Tax Court and WIN or its best to settle.
There are certain factors that run in the mind of the IRS appellate agent to make this determination, most is based on tax law, precedents and if they have already dealt with this issue.
Existing Tax Law Governs Appeals Cases.
The Appeal Function is not about “sympathy”, its about existing tax law, winning or losing an many times they have seen your issues many times over.
Also the appeals agent has a manager to review and approve all cases, so you really have two people to appease.
The IRS Hazards of Litigation
1. Penalties may be settled based on hazards of litigation. Unlike Compliance, Appeals may consider the hazards of litigation in attempting to reach a settlement.
The proper use of this settlement authority given to Appeals is critical in fulfilling its mission.
2. The settlement process is based on the ATE’s experience and judgment after considering the facts and the law.
3. ATEs must evaluate the facts pertinent to the issue under consideration, the applicable law, and the potential outcome in the event the case is litigated.
4. The hazards of litigation are the uncertainties of the outcome of the court’s decision in the event of a trial.
5. Litigating hazards generally fall into three categories:
1. factual,
2. legal, and,
3. evidentiary.
Note:
Lack of case law should not be considered a hazard of litigation.
6. Appeals may weigh these factors and determine an appropriate settlement range for the issue and obtain a realistic settlement.
An example of what may run through the mind of the IRS appellate agent during the process of passing litigation.
An agent is looking at your case and they think they have a 70% chance of winning based on tax law, experience, and the general precedent.
That Agent may determine to take 30% off of the settlement because they believe they have a 70 per cent chance of winning.
Remember this is just a theory that comes into play.
Every agent has their own mindset as to what they want to accept and more importantly what their manager is going to approve.
If you need help with any appeals, contact former IRS agents that know the system and have taken hundreds of cases to the Appellate Division in the past.

This is a question I get asked all the time, if I take my penalty abatement case to appeals do I have a better chance of winning?
[suulypic]
As a former IRS IRS agent & teaching instructor I can tell you there is no magic wand for getting your penalties abated. Its hard work and documentation.
There are standards, formats or methodologies and IRS must stick to the guidelines of the IRS manual procedures for abatement of penalties.
So, if you understand the guidelines and manual procedures is easier to take the fight to them.
Understanding that there are certain check marks they must have ACCEPT your penalty abatement.
Below you will find a checklist that Iris uses during the penalty abatement process it’s important to know them going into the battle so you know what you’re up against.
The following questions will be used to determine if the taxpayer has established reasonable cause, and should be considered in your final determination.
Your decision must be clearly documented in the ACM, and the facts and circumstances must support the decision:
1. Do the taxpayer’s explanations directly relate to the penalty that was assessed?
2. Do the dates and times coincide with the taxpayer’s explanation?
3. Could the noncompliance have been anticipated and/or prevented?
4. Did the taxpayer make an honest mistake?
5. Has the taxpayer provided sufficient detail (dates, relationships, documents) to determine if ordinary business care and prudence was exercised?
6.Is the taxpayer an individual, third party such as a reporting agent, accountant or lawyer?
7. Is there a history of the taxpayer being assessed the same penalty? BIG!!!!!
8. Were there prior abatements of the same or similar penalties?
Refer to IRM 20.1.1.3.2, Reasonable Cause, for more information.
Know ahead of time the thought process of the IRS before going to battle to WIN.
If you want better chance of winning your IRS appeals decisions , best to call former IRS agent who understands the ways, the tactic& can get IRS penalty abatement’s waived.
