HOW IRS WORKS TAX DEBT CASES
When dealing with a taxpayer who owes back taxes, one of the first things IRS does when they work a case is to conduct a full compliance check.
A full compliance check means that the IRS will check on the filing statuses of every year to make sure you are in full compliance and they will request and mandate that all tax returns are on the IRS system before they will close your case off the enforcement computer.
If you have not filed all tax returns we can file all back tax returns and make sure you pay the lowest amount of tax by law. With or without tax records we can reconstruct your tax return because being former IRS agents we know the system. You should also know that if you have not filed for many back years IRS will only require filing of the last six years.
In some cases you can make an IRS payment agreement online if you meet the various requirements that IRS has. When you call our office we will let you know whether you qualify for an installment payment online.
For those of you who do not qualify for an online payment the Internal Revenue Service will require a current financial statement.
As a general rule, those financial statements will be on a form 433F, 433A.
If the cases at the service center the service center will request the F and if it is in the local office they will require the A.
The Internal Revenue Service will a current financial statement fully documented along with bank statements, pay stubs, and copies of all expenses.
IRS will look to see if you have any assets that you can liquidate to pay in full and if that cannot be done there are two other options.
The first is the payment agreement and the second, you can be deemed currently not collectible and IRS can put you in a hardship status if you are truly having a financial hardship in your life.
Some taxpayers can qualify for an offer in compromise which they can settle their debt for pennies on a dollar.
Upon calling our office we first try to find out if you can settle your debt to completely extinguish the liability.
The offer in compromise is the very best way to completely take care of your IRS debt. There are very specific formulas to settle your debt and we make sure you are a qualified candidate to settle your IRS debt before taking any money and working your case. C

Here the truth from Former IRS Agents who have worked thousands of cases.
We can keep the IRS out of your life.

Upon your initial consultation will review your case and revealed to you all your different tax options for your business or individual tax problem and you can let are over 200 years of experience guide you through any situation you are currently experiencing.
Being a former IRS agent and teaching instructor you should understand that the Internal Revenue Service is tougher on payroll taxes than any other taxes.
The reason for this is very simple, this tax is money held in trust in not an actual tax.
It is one of few taxes that the Internal Revenue Service not only go after the company it can in addition can go after the responsible persons or individuals.
After the IRS creates individual tax assessment for those responsible it often time results in the filing of federal tax liens, bank and wage levy garnishments.
This is a tax that you should not fool around with because it is number one on the IRS to hit list.
The Internal Revenue Service will individually engage those responsible under section 6672 of the Internal Revenue Code
We should be able to make sure we can reach a reasonable settlement on your payroll tax liability and you can continue to operate your business without fear and worry from the Internal Revenue Service.
With over 60 years of direct working experience at the Internal Revenue Service we know every possible tax solution that can get you immediate and permanent tax relief for a payroll tax settlement.
IRS does not want to seize your business for back taxes due on payroll taxes, however 941 payroll taxes are a big concern for the IRS.
The Process of Dealing With Payroll Tax Debt Relief
The Internal Revenue Service will want to fully review your company or corporation before you can obtain in IRS payroll tax settlement.
You will need to provide IRS with the current financial statement along with proof that all payroll tax deposits and 941 tax forms have been filed.
One of the most important things to know about getting a payroll tax debt settlement, payment or moving on in the process is to understand that your current financial statement both business and individual will be the determining factor IRS will use to handle how your case closes.
When Internal Revenue Service reviews a business they also review individuals as well.IRS conducts a full compliance check. A full compliance check means that Internal Revenue Service will make sure all back tax returns are filed and current estimated or withholding deposits are being made to stop the spiral of taxes not being paid.
Therefore an individual financial statements are required. We know this process inside and out we have worked hundreds and hundreds of cases, we can make this an easy and seamless process for you.
IRS will expect a 433B for the business & 433A for the individual. You want to make sure you’re truthful on all IRS financial statements because they are signed under penalties of perjury.
IRS will expect complete documentation to support all the figures on the financial statements. The financial statement is one of the key documents IRS uses before a taxpayer will get a payroll debt settlement for tax relief.
After IRS reviews your personal and business current financial statement, Internal Revenue Service may determine that you a:
1. hardship, you are currently unable to pay the tax at this time,
2. monthly payment agreement candidate,
3. or, an offer in compromise candidate and IRS payroll settlement.
Important to Know : IRS will next turn to the person or persons responsible for paying the back trust fund taxes. since this was not a tax but monies to be held in trust the IRS code under 6672 states that responsible persons can be held liable for the unpaid trust fund taxes on payroll or 941 taxes.
Who can be Responsible for the TFRP, the ones mentioned are the most general but not limited to.
One of the unusual features about payroll tax debt is the fact that IRS can collect the trust fund tax debt from the individuals who are responsible for paying the back payroll taxes. This is true with both payroll and excise taxes.
The Trust Fund Penalty may be assessed against any person who:
a. Is responsible for collecting or paying withheld income and employment taxes, or for paying collected excise taxes, and
b. Willfully fails to collect or pay them.
A responsible person is a person or group of people who has the duty to perform and the power to direct the collecting, accounting, and paying of trust fund taxes.
This person may be, but not limited to:
For wilfulness to exist, the responsible person (s):
Must have been, or should have been, aware of the outstanding taxes and either intentionally disregarded the law or was plainly indifferent to its requirements (no evil intent or bad motive is required).
Using available funds to pay other creditors when the business is unable to pay the employment taxes is an indication of willfulness. You will be asked to complete an interview in order to determine the full scope of your duties and responsibilities.
Responsibility is based on whether an individual exercised independent judgment with respect to the financial affairs of the business.
An employee is not a responsible person if the employee’s function was solely to pay the bills as directed by a superior, rather than to determine which creditors would or would not be paid.
How does IRS Figure the Trust Fund Amount, a simple formula
The amount of the penalty is equal to the unpaid balance of the trust fund tax. The penalty is computed based on:
The unpaid income taxes withheld, plus
The employee’s portion of the withheld FICA taxes. For collected taxes, the penalty is based on the unpaid amount of collected excise taxes.
Assessing the TFRP. If the IRS determines that you are a responsible person, we will provide you a letter stating that we plan to assess the TFRP against you.
You have 60 days (75 days if this letter is addressed to you outside the United States) from the date of this letter to appeal our proposal.
The letter will explain your appeal rights.
Refer to Publication 5, Your Appeal Rights and How to Prepare a Protest if You Don’t Agree (PDF), for a clear outline of the appeals process. If you do not respond to our letter, we will assess the penalty against you and send you a Notice and Demand for Payment.
Once IRS asserts the penalty, the IRS can take collection action against your personal assets. For instance, we can file a federal tax lien or take levy or seizure action. Seizure actions usually include bank levies and wage garnishment levies.
More Technical Information
TFRP Assessment Process
1. The Collection function has sole responsibility for recommending assertion of the TFRP. Examination function personnel may refer potential TFRP cases to Collection for investigation.
2. Revenue Officers (ROs) are responsible for determining collection potential as well as investigating whom they believe was responsible and willful for non-payment. Appeals does not consider collectibility.
3. ROs use the Automated Trust Fund Recovery (ATFR) program to calculate the amount of the penalty to be proposed, as well as to document their investigation and request for assertion, which requires managerial approval.
4. Before a TFRP is assessed, taxpayers must be mailed or hand delivered a 60-Day Notice of Proposed Assessment, Letter 1153. Letter 1153 advises taxpayers of the proposed penalty and of their appeal rights. Issuance of the Letter 1153 prior to the ASED is required on all TFRP assessments.
A. If the taxpayer agrees with the proposed penalty, he/she will return a signed Form 2751, Proposed Assessment of the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty.
B. If the taxpayer disagrees, he/she may discuss the proposed penalty with the revenue officer group manager, request Fast Track Mediation, or file a timely written protest.
Note:
See IRC 7502, IRC 7503, and IRC 7508A for general information on determining timely receipt.
6. Fast Track Mediation takes place before a protest is submitted, but it does not extend the time allowed to request a pre-assessment (TBOR2) appeal.
7. Except in the case of a Jeopardy assessment, the taxpayer has 60 days in which to file a timely pre-assessment protest (75 if the letter was addressed outside of the United States).
A TBOR2 protest is considered timely if it is mailed on or before the 60th day (75th if outside of the United States), i.e., timely mailed is timely filed.
The 60-day period is measured from the mailing date of the Letter 1153 or from the delivery date if Letter 1153 is delivered in person.
8. A timely mailed protest is still timely for purposes of IRC 6672(b)(3)(B) even if the protest is inadequate.
9. Most TFRP cases that are considered by Appeals are pre-assessment (TBOR2) protests; however, Appeals may receive Fast Track Mediation, Jeopardy, post assessment TFRP claims, claim reconsideration’s and post-Appeals mediation cases as well.

The most important aspect of working tax debt cases is completely dependent on the individual or business financial statements.It is the most important factor.
Your current documented financial statement determines all.
IRS uses a very simple formula to determine their settlement process. When you call our office we will explain the process and the system to you.
It is all about your assets and your income and your current necessary living expenses. There is a very specific formula.
IRS only allows certain expenses that are considered necessary living expenses. For more, you can look to the necessary standards used by the Internal Revenue Service.
There are charts available on what IRS allows. Anything not on those charts are disallowed and this is what trips out most taxpayers.
A simple review of your current financial statement and we can let you know the different programs you may be eligible for.
You will need to complete form 433F or form 433A for us to make a current determination. IRS will only use their financial statements.
It is critically important to know that you cannot pay less taxes unless you qualify for the offer in compromise program.
IRS has a very specific formula that they use to compute the offer in compromise. They can be found on our website.
The only way you can pay less tax is through the offer in compromise program. There is also an IRS pre-qualifier form.
I have over 40 years in this industry and it is critical if you want to settle your tax debt for the lowest possible amount you should go to true tax professionals.
Important information from the IRS
All your tax returns will have to be filed before IRS will work your offer in compromise.
If you need help with your tax preparation call us and we can have a staff of Experts accountants and tax preparers complete all returns with or without records.
Also beware that many times the Internal Revenue Service want to make sure you are current in your withholding tax or your estimate tax payments are they will not close your work your case until you become fully compliant.
Beware of IRS tax settlement services companies. Many have checkered pasts.
We have been in this industry a long time there are many good companies in as many bad tax settlement service companies. For you to evaluate in IRS tax settlement service company you must ask to speak directly to the person who will be working your case.
Generally, when you call a tax services company, you are speaking to what is called a closer. That person is a salesman and will actually bill you and charge you for the services then your case gets passed down the line.
When you call fresh start tax, you will speak directly to the person who works your case and that person can give you a true evaluation on how and if IRS will accept an IRS tax settlement .
All IRS tax settlement service firms and companies are different.
Check out the BBB rating and make sure you have a true tax professional working your case.
I suggest you always hire someone who’s worked at the IRS because they are aware of the methodologies required to get your offer in compromise through the system.
Other ways to Solve Back IRS Taxes Debt or Settle Back Tax Issues
As a general rule, you may apply for hardships, payment agreements or settle for an offer in compromise to settle your debt for pennies on the dollar.
We will review with you your financial statement and let you know what the lowest possible settlement IRS will accept. 40% of all persons that owe back taxes are an issue into a hardship or are currently not collectible status and 6.5 million taxpayers enter into annual payment agreements.
With e programs you will not pay less tax. These programs are designed to keep IRS off your back.
The other way to pay less tax is for the ten-year statute of limitation to run out and your debt will be written off by the Internal Revenue Service.
If you want to file an offer in compromise I thought you’d like to know what the statistics are.
Last year over 78,000 offers in compromise/IRS tax debt settlement were filed by taxpayers and over 38% of those were accepted for average of $6500 per case. Approximately 40,000 taxpayers last year paid less tax.
At the current time there are 7500 cases in the offer queue. The average wait time is nine months. There are not enough IRS employees to work the current inventory.
Keep in mind this is a national average in your case is completely dependent on your individual financial statement.
We will not file for an offer in compromise unless you are a true candidate for the program. You must qualify.
There is a pre qualifier tool to find out if you are a settlement candidate for income or business tax debt.
Upon your initial tax consultation we’ll let you know if you are eligible to have an accepted offer in compromise by the Internal Revenue Service.
Due to the new fresh start tax initiative Internal Revenue Service had made it easier to file for the program. However this program is not for everybody.
Everyone wants to settle with IRS but there is a very specific format and methodology that must be followed.
There are many myths about the pennies on the dollar program so you need to hear the truth before spending any money.
There are many firms that take your money and then let you know after the fact you are not qualified. you need to know before hand whether you have a fighting chance. Being a former IRS agent employee gives you a huge advantage of having the review your offer in compromise to settle your tax debt.
At our firm we will take no clients money until we are no they are a true candidate for the settlement program.
There are many myths about the offer in compromise so IRS in their great wisdom provides a pre-qualifier tool to find out if taxpayers are eligible for the offer in compromise program so taxpayers do not give their hard-earned money to unsuspecting tax firms promising tax settlements.
