What if I have years of un-filed tax returns?

Many taxpayers will accumulate tax debt at an alarming rate when their returns are not filed because the IRS submits the return for them on their behalf, commonly referred to as an SFR (Substitute for Return). This is the worst form of taxation as it allows for zero deductions and maximizes the IRS’s revenue. We assist many clients who haven’t filed their tax returns in years, and in many cases, we can reduce the liability that has accrued and bring the taxpayer legally current.

Will the IRS continue collecting once I’m represented?

For the most part, we are generally able to stop most forms of collections against our clients quickly. When you decide to take advantage of our services, we will assume tax power of attorney (IRS form 2848, which you can review on our forms page) which allows us to do several very important things for you. First, it gives us authority to speak to the IRS on your behalf, letting us contact the IRS and request either a 30, 60, or 90 day hold on collections, and when appropriate, we can even place an account into what’s called CNC – Currently Non Collectible, wherein the IRS will cease collection action indefinitely. The second thing the 2848 allows us to do is get your mail and notices, which keeps us current with your case and directs correspondence through our office instead of your mailbox. From here, we will work with you to tailor a program or relief option best suited to your needs.

Do you have attorneys?

Yes! Our hard working team includes attorneys, seasoned in all aspects of IRS collections and settlement proceedings. Some tax relief firms claim to use attorneys when they really don’t. You can verify this by requesting them to send you a 2848 form (which we just reviewed in the previous question). On this form, you will be able to see who is representing you. If the representative is not an attorney, you do not have an attorney representing you. It’s as simple as that. Besides attorneys, we also have Enrolled Agents on staff. It is our belief that different educational backgrounds bring a unique perspective to each case, and help to better service the many different areas of tax resolution for our clients. Note: Due to normal staffing variances, we may or may not have both forms of representation available at all times during the year.

Can I use my local CPA or tax attorney?

Yes. But the average CPA or Tax Attorney does just a handful of resolution cases in their career and charge by the hour. We have handled thousands of cases, and as such we’re able to achieve dramatic results for our clients at a fraction of the cost that most local CPAs or tax attorneys charge.

How does the process work?

For most cases involving a tax liability, we begin representation by having you sign and remit to us several IRS forms. The first is an 8821, which allows us to order your master tax file and see how much is owed and for what years. The second form is a 2848 which, as discussed previously, allows us to speak directly to the IRS on your behalf so that we can request a hold against collection action and negotiate directly with your assigned revenue officer. We then send you a financial questionnaire which must be filled in and sent back to us. At that point, there will be some back and forth between you and our firm as we work to prepare your resolution matter and/or negotiate directly with an assigned revenue officer. Depending on the resolution matter, cases will vary moving forward, but these are the basic steps to getting represented.

How much does it cost?

Some firms will charge clients very little up front for representation, or put them on a small payment plan wherein the client can pay a small amount every month towards their fee. Companies that allow you to pay the fee over time have recently been accused of delaying representation until they are paid in full, and bargain basement programs offer minimal assistance and could have many hidden costs that are not initially disclosed. We have been in business for ten years, and find that it benefits the consumer to pay a fair fee for a fair service. There are simply no cutting corners. As fees vary, please contact one of out tax relief professionals for a free evaluation of your options and to better price your tax issues.
