Fresh Start Tax
I was a former IRS agent who worked and taught the tax settlement program called offer in compromise program while employed by Internal Revenue Service. I have expertise in this tax debt settlement area.
I understand all the protocols, settlement formulas, settlement theories and internal processes of the IRS.
It cost you nothing to call our firm and see if you qualify to settle your tax debt with the IRS. 1-866-700-1040.
With the advent of the new IRS offer in compromise program  taxpayers are flooding the system with tax settlements.
Sadly, most taxpayers do not qualify to settle their tax debt and are making a huge mistake giving IRS their current financial statements.
Three years ago, the IRS adopted the fresh start program or fresh start  initiative which opened the door and paved the way for droves of taxpayers who are basically uninformed to make attempts to settle their tax debt.
So many offers in compromise or tax debt settlements have been sent to IRS that there are currently 8000 cases in the IRS that IRS cannot even get to.
We have been contacted by the IRS and told our current offers in compromise it will be five months before they contact us.
 
The facts of the offer in compromise program
 

  • Last year 58,000 offers in compromise were filed with the Internal Revenue Service
  • 38% of those offers in compromise were accepted by the Internal Revenue Service the highest number in the history of IRS.
  • The average settlement was $.14 on a dollar.

 
The  unfortunate thing is most taxpayers attempt to settle their case without knowing the criteria for tax settlement and wind up exposing themselves to scrutiny with the Internal Revenue Service.
Because they are doing this they are exposing themselves to IRS collecting money that the taxpayer thought they could never collect and also some of these taxpayers are subject to an IRS audit.
Before you go ahead and try to settle your tax debt with the Internal Revenue Service you should walk through the IRS pre-qualifier tool to settle your case.
You can find that pre-qualifier tool for the offer in compromise on our website.
Do not file your offer without walking through this tool it is a very valuable resource and it will save you a ton of money and time and not expose you to IRS scrutiny.
 
IRS scrutiny of a tax settlement

As a former IRS agent in teaching instructor I worked and accept the offers and compromises as a former agent.
You should know that IRS will do a Google search, real estate, DMV search, credit report searches and a variety of internal searches to hunt down  your income and assets.
IRS may even pull up financial statements that you have given to third parties.
Make sure you are squeaky clean and you will have no problems.
So be very careful before giving IRS a financial statement.
If you are truly interested in settling your tax debt you really need to pay the money to a professional firm who can not only settle your case for the lowest dollar amount they can protect your financial integrity and not overexposure you to IRS.

Settlement Formula for Tax Settlements
Internal Revenue Service is concerned about two things when they settle your tax debt. They are concerned about income and assets.
The very simple formula for tax settlements is this.
IRS will want to total liquidation value of all your assets including IRA or pensions and  any excess monthly income  after the national standards applied.
That excess income monthly figure is then multiplied by 12.Both figures are added together.
Call us if you have questions.
