How IRS will Resolve Income, Business, Corporate Tax Debt
Being a former IRS agent I would like to inform you on the policies of IRS concerning tax relief for income, business, or corporate tax debt.
IRS will require a Current Financial Statement
IRS will require a personal, business, or corporate financial statement before it makes a determination on how to dispose of individuals and businesses cases that owe the IRS a tax debt.
You also must have all your tax returns filed and up-to-date.
The required financial statement forms needed to be turned in to the IRS are the Internal 433-F or 433-B.
You can find both of those forms on our website.
Once the Internal Revenue Service has those forms in hand they will ask for complete documentation to verify the correctness of the financial statement.
Once the IRS carefully reviews the financial statement IRS will decide the category in which to deal with the taxpayer.
As a general rule the three categories are the following:
- IRS will either put the individual or the business into an economic tax hardship,
- place the individuals into a installment or payment plan,
- or suggest to the taxpayer they are a IRS tax settlement candidate.
Contact us today and we will review your case for free and give you the different tax options and solutions on how to solve your income, business, or corporate tax debt.
How do you discern Christian godly counsel?
Psalm 37:30
The godly offer good counsel, they know what is right from wrong.
Proverbs 18:2
Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to offer their own opinions.
Proverbs 27:9
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.

IRS First b Notice – IRS Tax Help Representation – Former IRS – Fresh Start Tax LLC
Each year financial institutions by law are required to mail out thousands of Form 1099s to customers, the most common of which are often the 1099-INT.
This federal form is issued by payor, including banks and financial institutions which pay interest income greater than $10.00 during the year.
The following information applies to different types of 1099 forms as it relates to the appropriate actions and related penalties regarding filing 1099 forms with improper taxpayer identification number information.
For all bank and financial institutions a initial solicitation for a TIN or a Social Security Number, employee identification number is typically requested, using the Form W-9, when a customer/client opens an account or when a banking or financial transaction happens.
Each year, the IRS issues CP2100 Notices (for more than 250 incorrect Form 1099s) or CP2100A Notices (for fewer than 250 incorrect Form 1099s) informing financial institutions they may be responsible for backup withholding as a result of missing or inaccurate TINs discovered when processing the Form 1099 information returns.
Common and Frequent questions
What is a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)?
A TIN is one of the following four numbers.
1. A Social Security Number (SSN)
2. An Employer Identification Number (EIN)
3. An IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Aliens who do not have an SSN, and are not eligible to get one should get an ITIN. Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, is used to apply for an ITIN
4. An Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number (ATIN). An ATIN is a temporary tax identification number issued for a child born in the U.S. An ATIN is used as an identifying number is the child is not eligible for an SSN.
When is a TIN considered missing or incorrect?
IRS considers a TIN to be missing if it is not provided.
IRS also consider a TIN to be missing if it has more or less than nine numbers or it has an alpha character as one of the nine numbers.
Incorrect TIN
IRS considers a TIN to be incorrect if it is in the proper format but the name/TIN combination doesn’t match or can’t be found on IRS or SSA files.
How do I know if a TIN on my account is incorrect?
We will send you a CP2100 or a CP2100A Notice and a listing of incorrect name/TINs.
What should I do if a payee refuses or neglects to provide a TIN?
Begin backup withholding immediately on any reportable payments. You should do the required annual solicitation (request) for the TIN.
Continue to Backup Withhold until you receive a TIN.
Can a payee claim he or she is exempt from backup withholding?
Yes. Payees who may be exempt are listed in the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9. They include tax exempt organizations, government agencies, corporations, and other listed entities.
Is a payee an exempt corporation if it uses the term “Company” or “Co.” in its name?
A payer cannot treat a payee as an exempt organization merely because the business name contains the words “Company” or “Co.” A payer can only treat the payee as exempt if:
The name contains the term insurance company, indemnity company, reinsurance company or assurance company.
What is a “B” Notice?
A “B” Notice is a backup withholding notice.
There are two “B” Notices
1. The First “B” Notice and the Second “B” Notice. You must send the First “B” Notice and a Form W-9 to a payee after you receive the first CP2100/CP2100A Notice with respect to this account for the purpose of soliciting a correct name/TIN combination.
2. The text of the Second “B” Notice is different than that of the First “B” Notice.
It tells the payee to contact IRS or SSA to obtain the correct name/TIN combination. The mailing of the second notice should not include a Form W-9.
You must send the second B Notice after receiving the second CP2100 or CP2100A with respect to this account. The payee must certify the Name/TIN combination after receiving the second “B” Notice.
You do not have to send a “B” Notice more than two times within three calendar years to the same account.
What should I do if a “B” Notice is returned as “undeliverable?”
You must begin backup withholding. However, try to get the correct address for the payee and re mail the notice. If you can’t find the correct address, keep the undelivered notice with your records.
After I receive a CP2100 or CP2100A notice, when do I start and stop backup withholding?
You must backup withhold on all reportable payments to the payee 30 business days after you have received the CP2100 or CP2100a Notice.
You should stop all backup withholding on payments after 30 calendar days after you have received the required certification (Form W-9) form payee or TIN validation form the SSA or the IRS, if it was a second notification.
At your option you may start and stop backup withholding at any time during these 30 day periods.
What are the first and second annual solicitation requirements?
A solicitation is a request for a payee’s correct TIN. You must make the request to satisfy the backup withholding requirements and to avoid a penalty for filing another information return with a missing or an incorrect TIN.
The Payee must furnish certified TIN (first solicitation) on Form W-9 with respect to payments of interest, dividends, and amounts subject to broker reporting. For other payments, the payee may furnish/provide a TIN in any manner.
Does a CP2100 or CP2100A Notice indicate whether it is the first or second notification of an incorrect TIN for a specific account?
No. The backup withholding regulations provide that payers are responsible for tracking the status of the notices they receive.
What is the relationship between the requirement to make an annual solicitation for a payee’s TIN and the requirement to send a “B” Notice?
Sending a “B” Notice to a payee in response to a CP2100A or CP2100 Notice also satisfies the annual solicitation requirement to avoid a penalty for filing another information return with an incorrect TIN.
Why are accounts I corrected still on the listing of missing or incorrect TINs?
Due to processing cut-off points, a listing may or may not reflect your latest corrections. If you know that an account was corrected, do not send a “B” Notice to the payee.
What should I do if a TIN was actually on file but it was left off the Form 1099 or reported incorrectly?
Make any required change to your records and use the correct information on future filings. Do not send a “B” Notice to the payee.

B Notice IRS Form 8822-B Fresh Start Tax L.L.C. – Former IRS Agents – IRS Tax Help
If you are moving or changing your address it is ALWAYS best to notify the IRS in every case. Many people or taxpayers feel just let IRS find me. Bad idea!
The problem with that thinking, according to the IRS code, the IRS is only required to send information to the last known address that they have on file from you.
If you do not notify the IRS, they can be sending you information for tax audits, tax changes and proposals to income and if you you do not respond you lose. There legal requirement is to the last known address.
Also , it is not the job of the IRS to keep up with you.
This IRS provisions clearly state it only has to contact you at your last filed tax return address.
Do yourself a huge favor, keep the IRS in the loop.
Purpose of Form
You can use Form 8822-B to notify the Internal Revenue Service if you changed your business mailing address or your business location.
Also, any organizations that change their address would file Form 8822-B, whether or not they are engaged in a trade or business. If you are a representative signing for the taxpayer, attach to Form 8822-B a copy of your power of attorney.
The use of this form is voluntary.
However, if you fail to provide the Internal Revenue Service with your current mailing address, you may not receive a notice of deficiency or a notice and demand for tax.
Despite the failure to receive such notices, penalties and interest will continue to accrue on the tax deficiencies.
You are not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number.
Books or records relating to a form or its instructions must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any Internal Revenue law.

FBAR
Without question you can expect the IRS and the DOJ to be coming down hard on Offshore and Overseas money that belongs in the coffers of the US government.
As IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman stated in his closing remarks as her is stepping down much of the focus in the past has been on FBAR and Expats due to the volumes of revenue it has generated from the enforcement of tax laws.
Here are the remarks from Shulman
“We view offshore tax evasion as an issue of fundamental fairness. Wealthy people who unlawfully hide their money offshore aren’t paying the taxes they owe, while schoolteachers, firefighters and other ordinary citizens who play by the rules are forced to pick up the slack and foot the bill.
Over the past five years, we have significantly increased our resources and focus on offshore tax evasion, and the results have been substantial. We upped the ante in a meaningful way with our work on Swiss financial institutions – where for the first time in history, a bank secrecy jurisdiction turned over thousands of names and account numbers.
As we increased our enforcement efforts and gained significant momentum, we gave taxpayers a chance to come in voluntarily and avoid going to jail. In a typical year, we used to get 100 or so taxpayers who used our voluntary disclosure program. When we first set up our new program in 2009, we thought that figure would rise to maybe 1,000.
So we are very pleased that we’ve had approximately 38,000 voluntary disclosures from individuals who came in under the special programs.
To date, these individuals have paid back taxes and stiff penalties amounting to more than $5.5 billion, and the number continues to grow. We are mining the information we have received and have launched our next wave of investigations on banks, bankers, intermediaries and taxpayers.
Collecting additional revenue for past misdeeds – as important as that may be – is not the only, or even primary, consideration here. It’s perhaps more important that we’re bringing U.S. taxpayers back into the system…back into compliance… so they properly report and pay their taxes for years to come. We have fundamentally changed the risk calculus of taxpayers who are thinking about hiding their money overseas, and we are well on our way to deterring the next generation of taxpayers from using hidden bank accounts to cheat on their taxes.
The inside skinny at the IRS FBAR, Expats
Under Obamacare the IRS is expecting to hire 15,000 new IRS agents. IRS is already launching new software and technologies to move in to the future regarding Offshore monies. Because of the huge success of this program a word to the wise, seek IRS before them seek you.
Each taxpayer has different options. We carefully review each case we receive and carefully plan the best remedy to fully and completely resolve your problem so do not fear cripple you.
We have successfully resolved thousands of taxpayers cases. Call us today to hear the truth and get results.1-866-700-1040.

How to pick out the Best Tax Resolution Firm for IRS Tax Relief – Hire Former IRS Agents – Fresh Start Tax LLC 1-866-700-1040
IRS Tax Problem Help – Get the Right Tax Help to Solve IRS Problems, use Former IRS Agents
Do not be ripped off! It is easy to find out the Best Tax Firm for yourself.
Fresh Start Tax LLC is one of those tax firms with the highest rating in the business. 1-866-700-1040.
There are thousands of sites in the Internet that claim they are the right and best tax resolution firm/ company to get you IRS Tax Relief for IRS Tax Problems.
So how do you pick a tax firm to resolve your IRS problem once and for all?
With the down fall of J.K.Harris, Roni Duetch and Tax Masters you should look closer on who you chose before paying any money over to a tax firm that claims to be the best. There are many good one but few great ones.
Here is a list of things you should check for before choosing a tax resolution company.
1. Check out the Better Business Bureau Rating.
When looking at the BBB rating, find out how many complaints the company has had overall and especially those in the last couple months. This is usually a good indicator on the health of the company. Many companies actually have lawsuits filed against them.
2. Check out how long the Company has been in existence for.
If a company is brand new you may want to check a little further. Usually a history of how many years in business is a good indicator to the health of the Company. Stay away from new companies. Many times new companies are old companies that had to fold because of the number of BBB complaints and rating.
3. Check out how much IRS experience the companies employees may have.
As a Former IRS Agent and Teaching Instructor I have worked thousands of cases. Without any question while there are many good representatives that have not worked for the IRS the true cream of the crop of those who were former Agents.
Why?
Because they knew the closing systems and the tax procedures to close out the case. The former IRS agents were able to package the case the get the very best results for there clients. There is nothing like knowing the system.
3. When calling a tax company ask to speak directly to the person or professional that will be working your case. Insist on making that conversation taking place. If they are to busy to speak to you walk away quickly.
4. Check to make sure how many cases that person has worked before and what the probably result could be.
An experience tax professional can tell you with a high degree of accuracy how the case will probably be resolved. I can probably do that 99% of the time.
5. Check on the cost.
Flat fees are preferred so you do not get socked in the end. Some of these firms are charging $7500 and up. They are scam artists. Get two or three cost comparisons from various companies.
6. Does the firm guarantee a result.
No firm up front can guarantee a result. You must at least see a verified financial statement before rendering an opinion. If the firm is pushing they can get get you a tax settlement leave quickly. The offer in compromise” pennies on a dollar ” ploy has scammed thousands of taxpayers. Do not be a fooled.
7. Beware – When you call most companies you are calling a salesman. These people are called closers in the business. They sign you up make about 25% fee and promise you the moon without knowing much about the IRS. JK Harris was famous for this. You must check the credentials of the person you are talking with over the phone, at all cost avoid closers. Ask to speak directly to Tax Attorneys, Tax Lawyers, CPA’s, Enrolled agents or Former IRS agents.
8. Beware of Splash ads.
If you are cruising the Internet you will find thousands of what we call splash advertising campaigns. You can recognize them because they have little tax information and there will not be a Firm Bio page. These are advertisers trying to sign you up and sell your information to the highest bidder. Do not fill out these forms. Call the tax firm directly who you may want to hire.
Do your homework before hiring a Professional Tax Firm. Make sure they have on staff Board Certified Tax Attorneys, Lawyers, CPAs, Former IRS Agents and Managers. Also, check the following to ensure the creditability and history of the Tax Firm.
