Audits usually comes to those who are too busy
It’s easy to panic when you find a letter from the IRS in your mailbox, notifying you that you have been selected for an audit. It’s easy to think about all of those worst-case scenarios that could happen – are your finances completely in order; could there be anything wrong with the company statements; and so on. But the fact is, many audits actually work out in favor of the taxpayer.
That’s why we think it’s important for you to stay calm and realize that professionals are here to help. You have rights, and even if the IRS has valid positions on your tax situation, it’s possible to work out resolution that minimizes your tax liability or even secures refunds from the IRS.
The thing most people don’t realize is that every year, many thousands of audits actually result in payments from the IRS to the taxpayer. Although this may not happen in your case, it’s good to know that with the right professional help backing you, the outcomes are much more favorable than if you tried to tackle the IRS yourself. The difference is, we KNOW what you need because we’ve seen it all before. We know the good from the bad, and we know how to ensure you are getting maximum assistance.
Levies can really do a lot of damage and even ruin your life.
A levy is the IRS's way of getting your immediate attention. What they are saying is, we have tried to communicate with you but you have ignored us. Levies are used to seize your wages and whatever other assets you have. If you own it, they can take it. That includes checking accounts, auto's, stocks, bonds, boats, paychecks, and even Social Security checks!
Imagine waking up one morning and finding all your bank accounts have been cleaned out. They will take every dime. If this amount did not cover what is owed, they'll keep taking your money until you cover your tax liability. They know that levying your bank account will cause checks to bounce, alerting many people that you have tax problems. But they don't care! Their sole objective is to collect the taxes owed. Period.
As bad as that is, a worse method is a wage levy (or garnishment). That's when most of your pay check goes to the IRS, they don't leave you enough to pay the bills, and most of your check goes to the IRS each and every week until the debt is paid.
If that doesn't accomplish what they want, they'll pull out all the stops. They'll seize your assets, and sell them at auction. That includes everything you own; home, cars, boats, jewelry, motorcycles, insurance polices, retirement funds, anything of value.
We are often able to get those levies released and help you get out of this terrible situation. Our goal is to get you even with the IRS, with what you can afford, and let you start life anew.
Federal Tax Liens can really make your life miserable!
Federal tax liens – whereby the government puts in a claim against your property – are another method by which the IRS can legally collect unpaid taxes. The idea of having property and assets forcibly claimed by the IRS is extremely bothersome and stressful — but you need to understand it’s not the only way and we are here to help.
When your taxes are not paid the IRS establishes a lien against all of your assets (especially real estate). This gives the IRS the legal right to collect taxes from the sale of your assets, which includes just about everything you own.
The lien can be against you, your spouse, or your company. A lien against your company would seize your accounts receivables. At this point everything you own is just one short step away from becoming the property of the United States Government.
Liens filed against you by the IRS also show up on your credit report and often prevent you from opening a checking account or borrowing against any assets, like your home. The banks don't want the extra work when the IRS comes in to take your money.
With a Federal Tax lien on your record you can't get a reasonable loan to purchase a car. Think about paying 18-22% interest on a car that is already too expensive. You definitely cannot buy or sell any Real Estate. The list is endless.
We are regularly retained to negotiate the release of IRS wage garnishments
If your IRS problems have been around for some time, you may be dealing with threatening letters, bank levies or wage garnishments. These are all methods that are used by the IRS to collect tax that is owed, or allegedly owed, by an individual, family or business.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re alone in this process. We have many years of experience in helping taxpayers avoid wage garnishment (where the IRS takes money directly from your paychecks) and bank levies (where the IRS claims money from your bank account or other assets in order to satisfy unpaid tax debts). Even if your case hasn’t been handled professionally until now, it’s still possible to get a fresh perspective and put professional solutions into place — solutions that are designed to protect you and look out for your interests.
