Negotiating an IRS Tax Debt

Most taxpayers believe that the IRS has unlimited authority to collect taxes. Sometimes I get the feeling that the IRS also believes that. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The IRS is bound by Federal laws. These laws give citizens many rights, including due process and the right to appeal proposed actions by the IRS. For example, before the Revenue Officer can levy wages or bank accounts, the taxpayer has the right to have an Appeals Officer look at the case and decide a better alternative.
Now, unfortunately for the individual, IRS personnel do not explain to them all of their rights. Much of the correspondence that they send does not clearly explain these rights. Always remember that the IRS is not on your side. They have one mission and that is to collect.
So here is the good news. As an attorney whose only specialty is resolving IRS problems, I know all of your rights and can exercise them. I can help you to understand all of your options, including tax debt negotation. The first thing that I do is get the IRS transcripts and analyze them. I am looking for many things, including whether all tax returns are filed, whether the amount due is correct, what letters have been sent, and when the Statute of Limitations runs. Next, I need a snapshot of your financial situation, including your assets, income, and expenses.
