Filing Back Tax Past Due or Late Returns – The process of filing back or unfiled tax returns: (Lost or few tax records )
If you have unfiled tax returns, this process Fresh Start Tax LLC uses to get current with the IRS and get you immediate and permanent tax relief
1. We verbally review a year by year history of your income and expenses.
2. We review any records you may have including all bank statements.
3 We pull all IRS information that they have received from 3rd party sources that have been placed on the IRS computer system over the past 7 years.
4. If you have lost all your records we have easy and simple forms that can help you reconstruct your tax return.
5. We can prepare through years of experience a “reconstructed” tax return that the IRS will accept and process.
6. We review all returns for accuracy with the client and send them into the IRS.
7. We work out a settlement agreement with the IRS to permanent close your tax case.
Tax Settlement Agreements
How we Settle and Negotiate your case with the Internal Revenue Service:
1. We immediately send a power of attorney to the IRS letting them know we are now your tax representative. You will never have to speak to the IRS. We handle all male and verbal communication.
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-A (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 Three 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. IRS 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 .

The New Fresh Start Program and Initiative
The Internal Revenue Service has expanded its “Fresh Start” initiative to help struggling taxpayers who owe taxes.
The following four tips explain the expanded relief for taxpayers.
1.Penalty Relief.
Part of the initiative relieves some unemployed taxpayers from failure-to-pay penalties.
Penalties are one of the biggest factors a financially distressed taxpayer faces on a tax bill. The Fresh Start Penalty Relief Program & Initiative gives eligible taxpayers a six-month extension to fully pay 2011 taxes.
Interest still applies on the 2011 taxes from April 17, 2012 until the tax is paid, but you won’t face failure-to-pay penalties if you pay your tax, interest and any other penalties in full by Oct. 15, 2012.
Tax Penalty relief into categories
The penalty relief is available to two categories of taxpayers:
1. Wage earners who have been unemployed at least 30 consecutive day during 2011 or in 2012 up to this year’s April 17 tax deadline.
2. Self-employed individuals who experienced a 25 percent or greater reduction in business income in 2011 due to the economy.
Qualification for Penalty Relief
To qualify for this penalty relief, your adjusted gross income must not exceed $200,000 if married filing jointly or $100,000 if your filing status is single, married filing separately, head of household, or qualifying widower. Your 2011 balance due can not exceed $50,000.
Taxpayers who qualify need to complete a new Form 1127A to request the 2011 penalty relief.
Installment agreements or payment plans.
An installment agreement is a payment option for those who cannot pay their entire tax bill by the due date. The Fresh Start provisions give more taxpayers the ability to use streamlined installment agreements to catch up on back taxes and also more time to pay.
If you owe under $50,000 in tax
The new threshold for requesting an installment agreement has been raised from $25,000 to $50,000. This option requires limited financial information, meaning far less burden to the taxpayer. The maximum term for streamlined installment agreements has been raised to six years from the current five-year maximum.
If your tax debt is over $50,000
If your tax debt is more than $50,000, you’ll still need to supply the IRS with a Collection Information Statement (Form 433-A or Form 433-F).
Please note, you also can pay your balance down to $50,000 or less to qualify for this payment option.
With an installment agreement, you’ll pay less in penalties, but interest continues to accrue on the outstanding balance. In order to qualify for the new expanded streamlined installment agreement, you must agree to monthly direct debit payments.
The offer in compromise program is for those who cannot pay their IRS tax debts
Offer in Compromise Under the first round of Fresh Start in 2011, the IRS expanded the Offer in Compromise (OIC) program to cover a larger group of struggling taxpayers.
An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
Generally, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes that the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. The IRS looks at the taxpayer’s income and assets to make a determination regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.

The process of how to stop an IRS tax Levy
IRS has a very specific procedures on how to Stop an IRS tax Levy.
IRS will want a current financial statement. Depending on where your cases in the IRS system IRS will require either a 433-F or a 433-a. Those two forms are the only financial statements that IRS will accept in the processing of stopping in IRS tax Levy.
IRS will then want complete verification of the financial statement including the bank statements for the last three months and pay stubs. Once the IRS has your financial statements and documents in hand, IRS will then make a determination and put you in one of three categories.
How your case will be resolved by the Internal Revenue Service
Category one. You qualify for an IRS tax hardship because your current expenses exceed your income.
Category two. IRS will enter you into an installment repayment arrangement based on your income and expense ratios.
Category three . IRS will entertain the filing of an offer to compromise or tax debt settlement.
What is in IRS tax Levy
A IRS Tax levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
Levies are different from federal tax liens.
A Federal Tax Lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
If you do not pay your taxes the IRS may seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.
IRS can if it wishes:
a. IRS could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat, or house), or
b. IRS could levy property that is yours but is held by someone else, such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions. certain requirements are met
IRS will only levy after certain requirements are met
IRS usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1. The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment;
2. The taxpayer 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.
Place and method of delivery
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.
Special 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.
Hardship provisions for IRS tax levies
If a levy on your wages, bank account or other property is causing a hardship you should:
Contact a tax professional or the IRS IRS at the telephone number on the levy or correspondence immediately and explain your financial situation.
If we determine the levy is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy may be released.
A levy release does not mean you are exempt from paying the balance.
The IRS will work with you to establish payment plans or take other steps to help you pay off the balance. To help ensure quick action, please have the fax number available for the bank or employer office that is processing the levy.
You can ask for a manager to review your case to stop the IRS tax Levy
You may ask an IRS manager to review your case, or you may request a Collection Due Process hearing with the Office of Appeals by filing a request for a Collection Due Process hearing with the IRS office listed on your notice.
Please Note: You must file your request within 30 days of the date on your notice.
Some of the issues you may discuss include:
a. You paid all you owed before we sent the levy notice,
b. The IRS assessed the tax and sent the levy notice when you were in bankruptcy, and subject to the automatic stay during bankruptcy,
c. The IRS made a procedural error in an assessment,
d. The time to collect the tax (called the statute of limitations) expired before we sent the levy notice,
e. You did not have an opportunity to dispute the assessed liability,
f. You wish to discuss the collection options, or
g. You wish to make a spousal defense.
The IRS office of appeals
At the conclusion of your hearing, the Office of Appeals will issue a determination. You will have 30 days after the determination date to bring a suit to contest the determination. Refer to Publication 1660 (PDF), for more information. If your property is levied or seized, contact the employee who took the action.
You also may ask the manager to review your case. If the matter is still unresolved, the manager can explain your rights to appeal to the Office of Appeals
Levying Your Wages, Federal Payments, State Refunds, or Your Bank Account
If we levy your wages, salary, federal payments or state refunds, the levy will end when:
1. The levy is released,
2. You pay your tax debt, or
3. The time expires for legally collecting the tax.
Bank Account IRS tax levies
If we levy your bank account, your bank must hold funds you have on deposit, up to the amount you owe, for 21 days. This holding period allows time to resolve any issues about account ownership.
After 21 days, the bank must send the money plus interest, if it applies, to the IRS. To discuss your case, call the IRS employee whose name is shown on the Notice of Levy.
Call us today to get an IRS tax levy stopped. We can get releases or removals of IRS levies on bank accounts and also on wages.
