RESOLVING YOUR IRS TAX AND PENALTY DEBT

Owing taxes and penalties to the IRS can cause taxpayers much stress and loss of sleep. The compounding of interest and penalties, in addition to the taxes can make the debt due to the IRS seem insurmountable. Do not panic. There are ways to resolve an outstanding tax debt.

An experienced tax lawyer can discuss the different options available and work with the taxpayer to find a solution. By facing the outstanding taxes and penalties the taxpayer can keep the IRS from employing its powerful collection tools such as a levy or garnishment.

Although the tax solutions may sound simple, the truth is that negotiating with the IRS is difficult. With so much at stake, the taxpayer should have someone looking out for the taxpayer’s best interests. A tax attorney, who is well versed in IRS procedures, is best able to evaluate the taxpayer’s financial situation in light of the available options and formulate a plan that will satisfy the IRS, but which will not be overly burdensome for the taxpayer.

→ A taxpayer must qualify in order to be approved for an IRS Installment Agreement.
