How to Resolve Owing Back IRS Taxes or Unfiled Tax Returns
IRS has different methods in working with taxpayers that owe delinquent back taxes and need tax relief.
There are one of three programs that you are eligible for when you owe back taxes.
IRS will either place your case into a Hardship or Noncollectable status, a installment payment or payment plan, or the IRS will entertain an offer in compromise or a tax debt settlement.
What drives the tax resolution by the IRS.
IRS has a standardized financial statement that you will be filling out. Whether you are a individual or own a business everyone is required to fill out and completely document a 433F or a 433A. These form vary depending on the Unit working the case.
IRS will require you have to have all tax returns filed and current to date.
How Fresh Start Tax LLC will settle and negotiate your case with the Internal Revenue Service:
1. Fresh Start Tax LLC immediately sends 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 communication and tax settlement.
2. Fresh Start Tax LLC will make sure all your tax returns are filed and current. If your tax returns are not up to date, the IRS can and will refuse to work your case.
This is leverage that the IRS will use to get you tax compliant. Fresh Start Tax LLC can and will pull tax transcripts, file and prepare your tax returns within days, even if you have lost your tax records. We are tax masters of reconstruction. We can file all your back tax returns within days.
3. The IRS requires a current financial statement. We will secure a required 433-A (IRS financial statement) or a 433F, verify the income and expenses and work out a settlement agreement with the IRS.
The IRS will require a closing settlement method for each case.
4. Settlement agreements and methods are either hardships, installment payments or the filing of an offer in compromise. All 3 types of settlements close your case off of the IRS enforcement computer.
5. We will review with our clients how they want to settle their case. We get them an agreement based on their current financial needs.
What are the Forms of IRS Tax Debt Settlement Agreements on back taxes on unfiled tax returns.
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 or Usually 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 or would be unfair and inequitable. You must have extraordinary experiences.

Back Taxes. Tax Relief on Back Taxes & Unfiled Tax Returns
There is a very specific way you go about addressing back tax issues with the IRS. Before you pick up the telephone and call the IRS there must be a game plan in mind.
You must know exactly what your end goal should be. Taxpayers that just randomly call the IRS expecting a favorable outcome will find themselves on the short end of the stick when all is said and done.
The steps to assure your outcome with the IRS.
1. Make sure all tax returns are filed or you are in the process of completing the tax returns. IRS will never close your case when outstanding tax returns are not filed.
2. Make sure you have enough withholding being taken out your check so make sure the IRS knows you are fixing the problem. If you are self employed you must start making ES payments to ensure you will not owe tax again.
3. IRS will require a financial statement. IRS will require a 433A or a 433F depending on where the case is in the IRS system. If you are dealing with the ACS Unit and you are on notice status with a Service Center IRS will require a 433 F. If the case is in the field the IRS will require a 433A.
Both types of financial statements will need to be fully documented so make sure the financials are accurate and can be documented with proof of all income, bills and receipts.
The documentation that the IRS will be requiring.
The basic information the IRS will need:
1. Your last pay stub,
2. Copies of mortgage or rent statements,
3. Copies of utilities bills for the last 3 months,
4. Car and insurance payments,
5. Last 3 months bank statements,
6. Medical, insurance bills
7. Anything listed as a monthly expense will be required.
Do you need tax relief on back taxes on unfiled back tax returns?
The process of filing back or unfiled tax returns:
If you have unfiled tax returns, this is the process Fresh Start Tax LLC uses to get current with the IRS and get you immediate and permanent IRS tax relief:
1. We verbally review a year by year history of your income and expenses to arrive at the lowest amount of tax allowed by law.
2. We review any books, records and bank statements you may have.
3 We pull all income IRS information that they have received from 3rd party sources that have been placed on the IRS computer system over the past 7 years.
Lost records:
a. If you have lost all your records we have easy and simple forms that can help you reconstruct your tax return.
b. We can prepare through years of experience a “reconstructed” tax return that the IRS will accept and process.
c. We review all returns for accuracy with the client and send them into the IRS.

Yes the IRS is really trying to help, well, help them get you to file FBAR reports.
There is a new FBAR procedure out that may help many taxpayers and individuals.
If you are responsible to file a FBAR this better be on your radar screen. The IRS and the DOJ has been very active in going after tax cheats and non- filers. Country by country the IRS is coming your way.
When UBS gave in to US pressure it was just a matter of time that other countries would be next.
When Lichtenstein went down there was a clear sent that the IRS and the DOJ was going country by country. Each country is giving way to US demands and is turning over account information of all US citizens.
Our advice to all our clients, find the IRS before they find you.
We are comprised of Board Certified Tax Attorneys, Lawyers CPA’s and Former IRS Agents. We are FBAR experts. We can help with Foreign Retirement Accounts and Pension Plans.
Call us today for a free tax consult, 1-866-700-1040. Speak directly to a Tax Attorney or Lawyer.
The Internal Revenue Service announced a plan to help U.S. citizens residing overseas, including dual citizens, catch up with tax filing obligations and provide assistance for people with foreign retirement plan issues.
The IRS will provide a new option to help some U.S. citizens and others residing abroad who have not been filing tax returns and provide them a chance to catch up with their tax filing obligations if they owe little or no back taxes.
The new procedure will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2012.
The IRS is aware that some U.S. taxpayers living abroad have failed to timely file U.S. federal income tax returns or Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts .
Some of these taxpayers have recently become aware of their filing requirements and want to comply with the law.
To help these taxpayers, the IRS offered the new procedures that will allow taxpayers who are low compliance risks to get current with their tax requirements without facing penalties or additional enforcement action.
These people generally will have simple tax returns and owe $1,500 or less in tax for any of the covered years.
The IRS also announced that the new procedures will allow resolution of certain issues related to certain foreign retirement plans (such as Canadian Registered Retirement Savings Plans).
In some circumstances, tax treaties allow for income deferral under U.S. tax law, but only if an election is made on a timely basis.
The new streamlined procedures will be made available to resolve low compliance risk situations even though this election was not made on a timely basis.
Taxpayers using the new procedures will be required to file delinquent tax returns along with appropriate related information returns for the past three years, and to file delinquent FBARs for the past six years.
Submissions from taxpayers that present higher compliance risk will be subject to a more thorough review and potentially subject to an audit, which could cover more than three tax years.
The IRS also announced its offshore voluntary disclosure programs have exceeded the $5 billion mark, released new details regarding the voluntary disclosure program announced in January and closed a loophole used by some U.S. citizens.
