The IRS can hold on to your refund, take a chunk of your pay, put a federal tax levy or garnishment on your bank account, seize and sell your property and revoke your passport.

A simple call the to our office and speak directly to a tax professional can assure you that this process is not as nearly as complicated as you think.
Why does the Internal Revenue Service want to settle your tax debt for pennies on the dollar?
1.IRS resources are constrained.
Five years of budget cuts by Congress has limited the IRS’ ability to enforce its own laws. The IRS budget has been reduced by $1.2 billion since 2010 despite having 12.8 million more tax returns to process.
Since 2010, the IRS has laid off 17,000 workers, which explains why, in 2015, the IRS only Audited 0.7% of all tax returns. Actually, we have a former IRS agent who recently retired and can go through a litany of other reasons why IRS would settle your tax debt.
Just know this is in the best interest of the government to do so.
Congress looks at IRS numbers at the end of every year and many times budgets of the Treasury department based on the collection statistics from the Internal Revenue Service.
2. You may have heard that the IRS only has 10 years to collect taxes.
These time restrictions put a lot of pressure on already overworked IRS agents.
Also it is called return on investment. The IRS wants to collect something on a debt that they may never be able to collect.
You will get you the best deal possible whether it’s our firm or another firm always go with former IRS agents.
IRS tax relief programs help taxpayers by reducing the amount they owe, giving them more time to pay, or a combination of both. It’s a win-win for the IRS and taxpayers.
What type of tax relief examinations are there?
There are several tax relief programs taxpayers can apply for, but only three that offer debt forgiveness:
1. The Offer in Compromise program,
2. The Partial Pay installment Agreement program,
3. The Currently non-collectible, hardship.
Your current financial statement on form 433A or 433F will determine how IRS will closer settle your case.
The Offer in Compromise Program, IRS DEBT SETTLEMENT
An offer in compromise is a settlement where the IRS accepts less that the total debt amount in exchange for a lump sum or up to two years of monthly payments.
As far as debt forgiveness goes, offers in compromise are usually the best deal available to taxpayers.
The problem is it’s not easy to meet IRS eligibility criteria. There is also a pre-qualifier program to make sure you are eligible for settlement .
I was a former IRS agent who taught the offer in compromise program to new agents. I am one of the nation’s leading Experts in the offer in compromise.
However, since 2010, the IRS has relaxed its standards through the fresh start initiative.
In 2015, the IRS accepted 40.3% of all offers in compromise for an average settlement of $9000 a case.
The acceptance rate is even higher for taxpayers who hire a tax relief company. It’s common for tax relief firms to maintain acceptance rates of over 85%.
Partial Pay or monthly payments installment Agreement
The Partial Pay installment Agreement does not get much attention and publicity, but it often has even better terms that offers in compromise.
40% of all open IRS cases are issue in payment agreement status but sadly over 50% of taxpayers cannot keep up their payments.
A Partial Pay installment Agreement is similar to an Offer in Compromise in that the IRS forgives part of your debt, but it has longer repayment terms: typically, 36 to 72 months.
Partial Pay installment Agreements are easier and faster to qualify for and you don’t have to provide as much financial information.
However if your debt is over $50,000 IRS will require a complete documented financial statements.
The Hardship Program, Currently Non collectible. 40% of open collection cases are put in this classification.
The hardship program simply means you do not have the currently the means to deal with Internal Revenue Service.
After the Internal Revenue Service reviews your current financial statement and based on the national, local, and geographical standards, IRS will find that you are upside down in issue you in a currently non-collectible status.
What that means is that IRS puts a freeze on your case for two or three years and will look at the situation later.
Many times a taxpayer stays in this uncollectible status for several years and at some point in time the statute of limitation may run out, contact us for more details.
Do you have Unfiled tax returns?
You Must have all tax return filed.
If you have on file tax returns the Internal Revenue Service, they will insist on you bringing all tax years current or they will not deal with you, as matter of fact, they may go ahead and enforce collections to make sure you are in full compliance.
As soon as the IRS contacts you they will pull a summary of the last six years of your compliance history.
If you have Unfiled tax returns we can prepare your returns with or without records to bring you in full compliance of internal revenue standards and ensure that you pay the lowest amount of tax allowed by law.

Disabilities Qualify for Earned Income Tax Credit
The Internal Revenue Service wants taxpayers with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities to be aware of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and correctly claim it if they qualify.
The IRS says that many with disabilities miss out on this valuable credit because they do not file a tax return. EITC could put a refund of up to $6,318 into an eligible taxpayer’s pocket.
Many people who do not claim the credit fall below the income threshold requiring them to file. Even so, the IRS urges them to consider filing anyway because the only way to receive this credit is to file a tax return and claim the EITC.
The EITC is a federal income tax credit for workers who earn $53,930 or less for 2017 and meet other eligibility requirements.
Because it’s a refundable credit, those who qualify and claim the credit could pay less federal tax, pay no tax or even get a tax refund.
To qualify for EITC, the taxpayer must have earned income.
Usually, this means income either from a job or from self-employment. But taxpayers who retired on disability can also count as earned income any taxable benefits they receive under an employer’s disability retirement plan.
These benefits remain earned income until the disability retiree reaches minimum retirement age. The IRS emphasized that Social Security benefits and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) do not count as earned income.
Additionally, taxpayers may claim a child with a disability or a relative with a disability of any age to get the credit if the person meets all other EITC requirements. Use the EITC Assistant, on IRS.gov, available in English and Spanish, to determine eligibility and to estimate the amount of the credit.
People with disabilities are often concerned that a tax refund will impact their eligibility for one or more public benefits, including Social Security disability, Medicaid, and SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The law is clear that tax refunds, including refunds from tax credits such as the EITC, are not counted as income for purposes of determining eligibility for such benefits.
This applies to any federal program and any state or local program financed with federal funds.
The best way to get the EITC is to file electronically through a qualified tax professional, using free community tax help sites or through IRS Free File.
Many EITC filers will receive their refunds later this year that in past years.
That’s because by federal law, the IRS cannot issue refunds for tax returns that claim the EITC or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February.
The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return.
Even so, taxpayers claiming the EITC or ACTC should file as soon as they have all the documents they need to prepare a complete and accurate return.
