Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek + Christian Tax Firm Company
When you call, please feel free to ask us about our Christian faith.
Millions of taxpayers owe back taxes every year to the Internal Revenue Service and best guess estimates show there’s anywhere between 5 to 10 million people who do not fully pay their income taxes when filed.
They generally fall into two categories of people:
Those who have not had sufficient withholding taken out or self-employed individuals who simply never made or did not have enough estimate payments made to the Internal Revenue Service to cover their tax debt.
Both find themselves on the short end of the stick when it comes to tax season.
Many of these taxpayers never bother to file a tax return when they find out they owe tax fearing the worst or retribution from the Internal Revenue Service.
Many of these people fear the IRS levy on their bank or their wages or the filing of a federal tax lien. So what do most of these people do, many put their head in the sand and don’t bother to go ahead and do anything about the inevitable debt. However at some point in time they are going to have to deal with Uncle Sam and many will receive a nasty gram.
The fear is not as bad as people think. You have different options to resolve your IRS back tax debt and keep IRS out of your life and out of your back pocket.
Here are your different options if you owe back tax debt to the Internal Revenue Service.
About 6.5 million taxpayers a year make monthly installment agreements. Some of these can come in the form of online agreements. the ones do not fit the online agreement category must give IRS a current financial statement documented along with copies of pay stubs bank statements and they must understand the necessary living expense standards set up by Internal Revenue Service.
IRS will require a financial statement which is generally on a 433F to be fully reviewed fully documented before making a determination on allowing them to make an installment agreement.
Others simply cannot pay their back taxes and will ask IRS to be put in hardship or are currently not collectible status. Please be advised that this hardship status last anywhere between 1 to 3 years. you must be current on all tax filings and continue not to incur any more tax debt.
Those individuals going in the status must understand that the tax debt will be reviewed again in two or three years and penalties and interest will still run on the debt the entire time it is an uncollectible status.
Others can file for an offer in compromise to settle their tax debt for pennies on a dollar. With that said you must be a truly qualified candidate for the offer in compromise program.
As a former IRS agent, I was a teaching instructor for the offer and you must make sure you are a qualified candidate and not give your money to any firm unless you know you have a fair amount a chance to get your offer accepted
If you have any questions regarding owing back tax debt and the best way to resolve it based on your current financial statement please call us today for a free initial tax consultation and we will review with you the various programs IRS has in detail so you fully understand what the best option for you based on your current financial conditions.
If you are hiring a tax firm or a tax defense resolution company to represent you make sure they have former IRS agents on staff. Without any question, former IRS agents know the system, the methodologies, the quickest and the most affordable way to remedy your problem because we have complete knowledge of everything IRS attempts to do. Furthermore as former IRS agent teaching instructors how much more do we know the system.
Check the Better Business Bureau records find out the length of time they were in business and check out the complaint history.
We handle all types of situations here, including IRS, federal or state tax letters and notices, any correspondence, appellate work and even participating in Tax Court. We are a full-service firm with all work being done in-house.
And lastly, speak to the person who may be working your case. call us today for free initial tax consultation and hear the truth about owing back taxes to the IRS or state.

As a former IRS agent I taught out of the regional tax offices at the Atlanta service center.
We are one of the most elite and premier firms in the tax debt relief industry.
We provide fast, affordable and the results taxpayers are expecting based on their current financial situation because we know all the methodologies behind how IRS works all cases.
Feel free to ask us about our Christian faith when you call.
When I was employed by the Internal Revenue Service I work the offer in compromise program. there are three general programs to settle your tax debt, the offer in compromise, the payment agreement and the hardship program but before IRS accepts any of these programs you must have all your tax returns filed and up-to-date.
As a general rule, the IRS looks at your current financial statement to determine what status they will close out your case off the enforcement computer.
Some taxpayers can qualify for an online payment agreement and when you call for your free initial consultation we will let you know if you qualify.
Approximately 6.5 million taxpayers are put into qualified payment agreements every year while 45% of all open collection cases wind up in a hardship, or currently uncollectible. Approximately 32,000 people year settle their tax debt for approximately $9500.
When you call our office we will review the various programs and find out what program you qualify for based on your current financial condition.
We can prepare all back tax returns with or without records get them on the IRS computer and settle your tax debt all at the same time. Remember, all your tax returns must be filed before Internal Revenue Service will officially close your case.
As a result, we know all the inside secrets the methodologies and all the back tax programs to settle back taxes available.
Not only did I accept and reject offers in compromise, I was also a teaching instructor at the service center to help qualified revenue officers decide which offers to accept and reject.
Given the above information, I can tell you I am a true expert for the IRS offer in compromise and I wish to explain to you whether an offer in compromise is a viable option for you.
Due to social media, marketing and advertising the assumption by the general public is that IRS can settle tax debt for pennies on the dollar. While this is true I ask you to use caution.
Let me first let you know that IRS does accept offers in compromise and as a matter of fact last year approximately 32,000 offers in compromise were accepted out of the 78,000 that were filed.
That number varies from year to year but the percentages usually remain the same of acceptability.
The average settlement was $9500 per case but remember that is just an average in not everybody can settle their tax debt for $9500. you should know that IRS has a pre-qualifier tool to walk you through their program to see if you qualify for an offer for a compromise.
There is much information you need to know before you go off filing an offer of compromise and giving your money to some firm to try to pull off some amazing trick because you have been sold a bill of goods and bought in to some marketing ploy and they’ve convinced you are a settlement candidate.
The IRS Process: to understand the process is to have success.
It first starts with the review of your personal financial statement which is found on the 433 OIC.
When the offer in compromise gets sent in to the Internal Revenue Service it is met with the reviewer that make sure that you are truly qualified candidate for the offer in compromise program.
That reviewer checks the completed form to make sure it is a valid agreement. The offer in compromise is a legal document between you and the Internal Revenue Service.
If IRS were to accept the offer and the next day you win the lottery the accepted offer still stands.
Also reviewer make sure that all the documentation is attached so that the revenue officer who will work your offer in compromise can move forward.
Approximately one-third of all offers in compromise are sent back to the taxpayer because the offers are not filled out correctly or the appropriate documentation is not attached.
IRS will check to make sure all your tax returns are current and filed on the IRS system.It is critically important you know that you must have all tax returns filed before IRS will process your offer.
You should know that the Internal Revenue Service rejects an offer before it accepts an offer.
One of the basic rules is that the revenue officer is lazy and is easier to mark rejected then they go through all the work of accepting an offer in compromise.
I should know this is a former instructor of the offer in compromise I see many revenue officers simply send offers back because some of the eyes were not dotted in the T’s were not crossed.
Due to the volume of cases the IRS has, which is over 7500 cases waiting in the IRS Q, is far easier for the IRS to say no then to accept because an average of anywhere between 20 and 40 hours are spent on accepting the offer in compromise.
If you have an offer in compromise accepted, four signatures are generally required for signature as it goes up and down the chain.
So how do you know if the offer in compromise is right for you. Call for a free initial tax consultation and hear the truth from a true IRS tax debt settlement former agent.
The first place to go is to fill out the IRS pre-qualifier tool for the offer in compromise. Because of so many scrupulous tax companies that have been ripping people off, the IRS wanted to make sure the general public has a tool that they can use to find out if they are prequalified to file the offer in compromise to make sure it is a viable option.
It contains all the necessary information in regard to your income, your expenses and your assets and it predetermined for you whether the offer in compromise is even a viable option for you.
IRS will take a very close look at the liquidity of your assets, your current income, and your monthly expenses before it renders a decision as IRS wants to make sure it collects all the money from you that they can within the 10 year statutory period of time.
One of the questions the agent will want to consider is, can we collect more money over 10 years than accept the current agreement on the table for the IRS offer in compromise.
As a general rule, you will have to give IRS your total liquidity of all your assets before they will even consider the acceptance of an offer in compromise. Since IRS has the right to seize all assets it cannot accept any less than full value of your total liquidity.
IRS on larger dollar cases is a tremendous amount of due diligence. The IRS has a wealth of information on the various computers they can use to dig and find assets or income.
Why? you may ask is because all offers in compromise are open for public inspections at eight regional offices throughout the United States.
Your offer in compromise must be thoroughly documented which includes all your bank statements for the last six months to a year, all your pay stubs, all your monthly expenses along with certain documentation for assets that have value.
IRS also takes a look at the values of your pensions, your IRA, your business as well. There is no asset exempt that IRS will not place a value on. Basically, everything is in play. IRS wants total liquidation value.
The offer in compromise is one of the most reviewed documents, it is like going through a mini audit.
Some of the due diligence that IRS will conduct on a larger dollar cases is checking Google, the accurate search engine, Department of Motor Vehicles, real estate records, insurance policies, credit reports, loan applications, insurance policies, and inter-government agency records including those garnered by Homeland security and other such agencies.
Before you contemplate filing the offer in compromise and wasting your money on a company that has promised you they can settle your case for pennies on the dollar, you would be wise to give us a call to have an actual former IRS agent and teaching instructor of the offer in compromise give you the green light.
You should also know if an offer in compromise is not except that you have the right to appeal it and if the appeal is not accepted you can file an offer at a later time.
When you call our office you will speak to true IRS tax experts who knows the system and can tell you what to expect and tell you how to settle for the lowest amount possible.
When you call our office will review every single back tax program available, and generally there’s three the hardship program the payment agreement program and the most popular back tax program the offer in compromise which completely settles your IRS tax debt but you must be a candidate that fits the IRS criteria.
Call us today for a free initial tax consultation, you will hear nothing but the truth from former IRS agents who know and understand the methodologies of the offer in compromise to make sure it is right for you.
