IRS Tax Debt Settlements – Settle for less – IRS Insider
Most people have absolutely know idea about IRS Tax Debt Settlements. People simply hear the commercials about “pennies on a dollar” and they expect a tax settlement from the IRS for cheap. If that were the case, no one would pay their tax and file for Tax Debt Settlements every year.
Sad to say, these taxpayers may spend thousands of dollars to tax companies that will tell them anything to get a check and earn a commission. Even sadder taxpayers will usually speak to sales persons who know absolutely nothing about Offers in Compromise. They simply waste their money. Lat year, IRS accepted 12,000 Offers in Compromise. This was a 25% acceptance rate.
The Offer in Compromise or the Tax Debt Settlement is a work of art to get through the system. Unless you have filed hundreds of Offers and know the system well, most people expecting to get tax settlements through the Offers are absolutely waiting their money.
Fresh Start Tax L.L.C. is one of the premier Tax Resolution Firms in the nation specializing in IRS Tax Debt Settlements. One of the reasons we have such an edge is our experience in dealing with the IRS system. On staff are former IRS Agents / Managers that actually worked the Offer in Compromise Program at the IRS. Not only did we accept Offers at the IRS, we actually taught the Offer Program at the Regional Training Offices.
Settling for cheap is a product of knowing when to file the Offer. Timing is a huge issue. The very best time to file the Offer and settle for cheap is when ALL the following exists:
1. Your income is the lowest.
2. Your necessary expenses are the highest.
3. You have little cash in the bank and have few or no assets.
4. You have to borrow the money to pay off the Offer.
5. You have had your Offer pre-qualified by a tax professional to make sure your Tax Debt Settlement qualifies for a settlement.
Call us today to see if you qualify for a Offer in Compromise.

IRS Tax Debt Settlements :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.
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 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 or would be unfair and inequitable.

OWE IRS BACK PAYROLL TAXES? GREAT TAX TIPS FROM A FORMER IRS AGENT AND INSIDER
If you owe back payroll taxes to the Internal Revenue Service it only makes sense to speak to former IRS agents and managers who know the system and can get you immediate and permanent only relief for back IRS payroll taxes.
Contact us today and speak directly to tax attorneys, CPAs and former IRS agents, managers and instructors.
We have taught tax law at the Internal Revenue Service. We are tax experts in owing and settling back payroll taxes.
I am a Former IRS Agent, Revenue Officer who has over 38 years of professional tax experience and also I have been a former IRS Instructor in the Regional Training Facility.
We are often called by taxpayers in panic to tell us that the IRS is after their company for back payroll ( 941 ) taxes. IRS is wanting to seize everything including the cats and the dogs. There are several good tips to keep in mind when IRS comes knocking.
Being a former IRS Agent and Instructor know that IRS will usually come on very strong at the beginning of their contact with the taxpayer.
Tax Tips for IRS Payroll Taxes and Issues:
1. Since the IRS usually comes on very strong at the being of their contact with the taxpayer, let them vent their anger and accept it. They want to know you understand the problem and that you want to do something about it. Sporting an attitude will get you nowhere.
Often when I worked these cases as a former IRS agent, I always wanted to see the attitude of the taxpayer. If the taxpayers was apologetic I felt I could move forward in working with them.
2. Remember, your attitude is critical. Also you want to show a willingness to correct the situation.
3. Get current with your tax deposits as soon as you can. IRS looks to see if you are current with your current monthly tax deposits requirements. If possible make a current tax deposit to let IRS see that you are willing to solve the problems.
If you cannot keep current how can you possibly move forward. If you stay current IRS will usually work with you.
4. Get prepared to give the IRS a current financial statement.( 433B ). IRS will look over all your income and assets. Use distrait values on your assets. More about this on other Ezine articles.
5. Be prepared to give IRS a good faith payment to show you want to move forward. This good faith payment goes a long way.
6. Give the information the IRS asks for on a timely basis. Never delay in getting the IRS information. Many times their supervisors grade them on their dependability in case closures and timeliness on follow up action and dates. Keep up with all deadline dates.
7. Be prepared for the IRS to set up a trust fund recovery penalty against all responsible officers. See section 6672.
8. If you have a sizable IRS payroll tax problem, hire a professional tax firm especially one that has Former IRS Agents, Managers and Instructors on staff. They usually know the system and get get you through this with the least amount of problems and usually get the agreement you want.
9. Always know if you do not like the agreement the IRS Agent wants to make, you can ask for an independent reviewer to look over the case file. They can over ride the Agents decision.
The initial IRS Agent will not tell you about this but use that as your ace in the hole.
10. As a last option you can always file a 911 Form asking for assistance from The Taxpayer Advocate Office. They have the power to over turn the Agents decision.
As I said before, for your very best deal and settlement options, hire a true tax professional, they can get results.
