Tips to help resolve your Back IRS Tax Problems.
1. The IRS has Publication 594 – For the do-it-your-selfers, read the IRS Collection Process which talks about what to do if you cannot pay your taxes on time. It is comprehensive and thorough.
2. If you did not file your tax returns, file them immediately. The IRS will request this before the case is worked and closed. The Internal Revenue Service will provide copies of tax transcripts that will reflect your last seven years of income.
You can simply request this tax transcript as a starting point to prepare all back tax returns.
3. If on the unfiled tax returns you owe tax (married filing jointly), make a decision whether or not to include both husband and wife on the liability. Sometimes it is better to only have one party responsible for the tax.
4. If you owe less than $25,000, you can get a streamline agreement automatically. Just call the automated service at the IRS, 1 800 829-1040, to make the arrangements.
5. Make sure you do some asset planning before calling the IRS. The Internal Revenue Service may ask you to liquidate some assets so be apprised of the situation now.
6. If you have a pension, 401K or IRA, the IRS will ask if you can liquidate it to pay the taxes. Find out beforehand if you can liquidated any of these and what are the consequences of doing so.
7. Find out whether you qualify for an Offer in Compromise. An OIC can suspend IRS collection action. There are three types of offers in compromise and by contacting us we can simply review which offer may apply to you. Offers in compromise should only be filed if you are a qualified candidate for the program.
8. Make sure you are current for withholding or estimated payments in the current year of the tax problem. IRS may refuse to work your case if you not have enough withholding being taken out in the current year. They may ask you to adjust your W-4 or send in a current estimated tax deposit.
9. Four million taxpayers pay their taxes using an installment agreement.
Find out the criteria for a payment agreement before you call the IRS. Do not call the IRS without first having a plan. If you cannot pay your tax in full you should have a short term solution and an exit strategy.
10. If you owe payroll taxes, Form 941, the IRS will not work with you until you are current on all taxes and all tax returns are up to date, including your personal income taxes.
If you are having IRS problems make sure you call a true IRS tax professional for the best results.

Final Rules issued by the IRS
Uncle Sams strong arm, the Internal Revenue Service issued final rules for the individual mandate of President Barack Obama’s healthcare overhaul, one of the most talked about factors of the United States law set to go into effect next year, 2014.
One of the major tenants of Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is the federal mandate that ALL, YES ALL individuals must carry some minimum health insurance or pay a tax.
The brand new system aims to provide insurance through State marketplaces and subsidies for tens of millions of Americans.
We shall see just how this plays out.
If you chose not to carry Insurance
If individuals choose not to carry insurance, they are subject to:
- a penalty, starting at $95 per person per year or
- 1 percent of income in 2014, whichever is greater, and
- eventually reaching $695 per person or 2.5 percent of income by 2016.
The Internal Revenue Service which is administering parts of the law involving revenue collection, released the final rules spelling out the details of what constitutes minimum essential coverage, and how individuals are responsible for spouses, children and other dependents, among other topics.
The Employers Mandate
The individual mandate is distinct from the employer mandate, which imposes a fee on most large employers that do not offer a minimum level of coverage.
Washington delayed that provision, putting off the effective date until 2015.
Promoters of the new law say that, unlike the employer mandate, the individual mandate is essential to ensure enough individuals are enrolled in the system to allow the online marketplaces to function.Once again we will see just how this plays out.
The new guidelines and rules offered good news to employees getting health coverage through a union-sponsored plan. They seem to help clear up that these employees will not be penalized.
The IRS rules also said “employees getting healthcare coverage from a temporary staffing agency are safe from penalties.”
After reviewing the voluminous material, one must wonder how IRS is going to go ahead and force the debt for those who cannot pay for insurance.
How much time and effort is the federal government going to spend on the millions of taxpayers who cannot afford to pay.
The IRS collection division is overloaded with work as over 1.1 million taxpayers owing back tax debt of $56 billion sits in a federal queue because there are no personnel to collect these larger back debt taxes case.
Lets be realistic, is the IRS really got to be looking for taxpayers who’ll less than $1500 when billions of other dollars that are easier to collect just sitting there.
The IRS will probably collect the money through tax refunds going back to taxpayers.
I think not.

Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.

A very 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.
