For
every person who has failed to file or failed to pay, there’s
a story. Whatever your story, we can help you unravel what
now appears to be a big twisted ball of trouble. We know you’re
scared, embarrassed and/or feeling guilty. It’s OK,
we can handle it.
First let’s get those tax returns done and filed. Sooner
or later the IRS is going to find you. It’s to your
benefit to step up to the plate and voluntarily file the missing
returns – you will be viewed as cooperative. And the
good news? Nearly three out of four tax returns filed get
refunds. There’s a chance you won’t owe –
or even better – the IRS might owe you some money. Generally,
if the IRS owes you a refund, there are no penalties at all.
“I know I owe them” you insist. Okay, let’s
do (or review) those returns and see. Once we have an accurate
picture of your returns and obligations to the IRS we can
formulate a plan. But what if you owe money? We may be able
to arrange a payment schedule both you and the IRS can accept
comfortable, or we may be able to negotiate an offer in compromise
– the IRS may accept less than what you owe yet consider
it to be payment in full.
Or, “They found me. They’re seizing my bank accounts,
putting a lien against my house an taking my paycheck.”
Ouch! It’s tougher at this point, but again, we can
handle it.
Under federal law, only a CPA, attorney, or an Enrolled Agent
can represent a taxpayer to an IRS Collections Officer. And
of the three, Enrolled Agents are the only tax professional
required by Federal Law to maintain their expertise through
continuous professional education. The IRS Restructuring and
Reform Act of 1998 allows federally authorized practitioners
a limited client privilege of confidentiality, under certain
conditions. This privilege applies to situations where the
taxpayer is being represented in cases involving audits and
collections matters.
Whatever your situation, don’t hesitate to contact
us and schedule an appointment.
