How people get into tax disputes with the IRS.

Let’s say you’re recovering from a profound medical event that put you in the hospital, prevented you from working, and set you back financially. Upon returning home, the mail you’ve accumulated is chock full of medical bills and health insurance notices. And there’s something from the IRS, too.

Now, most people have health insurance, so they’ll probably open up the medical bills. But no one has tax insurance, and many people either feel too anxious to open their notice from the IRS, or open it too late to avoid paying a penalty.

What tax resolution professionals know about the IRS that you probably don’t know: they’re open to negotiation.

But it’s true. We’ve negotiated many offers of compromise and penalty abatement requests. And in our experience, whatever you pay us plus whatever we negotiate with the IRS will almost certainly be less than what the IRS claims you owe. So before you pay anything, let’s talk. In some instances, we have been able to abate 100% of our clients’ penalties.

The one thing all tax resolution professionals agree upon: the IRS won’t go away.

They’re persistent. And they charge compound interest daily for failure to pay. It adds up.
