Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more
questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's
General Accounting Office last year, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers)
believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer.
Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a
relatively simple return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions
and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program
there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.

Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of people more than receiving an IRS Audit
letter in the mail. Audits take significant time away from your business and
family, requiring you to gather mounds of records substantiating each and every
item reported on your tax return and develop a comprehensive understanding of
tax law.
The IRS leaves no stone unturned in its mission to determine the accuracy of
your tax return. If you don't comply with the Auditors' wishes, the IRS will
recalculate your tax and send you home with a hefty tax bill as your parting
gift.
Many taxpayers decide to handle a tax audit themselves, and discover they may
have been "penny wise," avoiding a representative's fee, but "pound
foolish," because they received a substantial bill for a significant tax
deficiency.
You see, IRS Auditors are trained to extract more information from you than
you have a legal obligation to provide. IRS Auditors know that most people fear
them and are ignorant of their rights. As a result, they know they can use that
fear and ignorance to their advantage.
Rarely do our clients even have to talk with the IRS. We handle it all for you
so that you need not take time off of your business or job to handle the bureaucracy
and paperwork of the IRS. No lost wages or business. You simply forward notification
of an audit to us and we handle it from A to Z.
If you've received an audit notice from the IRS, please fill out the form on
the bottom of this page to receive a Free Consultation with our tax specialist.
Every day the massive computer center at the IRS is getting more sophisticated,
it's just a matter of time before they catch up with you.
This is not a situation to take lightly, failing to file your tax returns is
a criminal offense. If you do not file, you can be prosecuted and punished with
potential jail time, one year for each year not filed. Why risk potentially
losing your freedom for failing to file your tax returns!
Let us give you the peace of mind you deserve by helping you get in compliance
with the law. If you voluntarily file your delinquent returns you'll likely
avoid further problems other than having to pay the interest and penalties.
If you wait for the IRS to file your returns for you, they are filed in the
best interest of the government, usually with little or none of the deductions
you are entitled to.
Before anything can be done to extract you from this predicament all the returns
must be filed. You must be current. In most cases, you will likely owe taxes,
interest, and penalties after the returns are filed. Once we see how much is
owed, we'll set a course of action to get you off the hook!

You have filed your returns but didn't have the money to pay what was owed.
You may think, "Oh well---I will catch up next year." Before you know
it you find yourself several years in arrears and suddenly there is a notice
from the IRS, stating that you owe three or four times the original amount.
It's truly amazing how fast tax penalties and interest add up. Now you have
a choice, you can write a big fat check and pay the full amount, including interest
and penalties. Or you can just keep ignoring them while the penalties and interest
keep piling up.
Luckily, we offer several options when it comes to resolving unpaid taxes. Please

The IRS views failing to pay payroll taxes as the cardinal sin of tax delinquency
because a large portion of the payroll taxes are your employees' withholdings.
Not paying your company's payroll taxes is tantamount to stealing your employees'
money in the eyes of the IRS.
As a result, penalties for failing to pay your payroll taxes and filing your
payroll tax returns on time are much more severe than other types of penalties.
They can drastically multiply the amount you owe in a very short time.
If you are behind on paying payroll taxes for your company, WATCH OUT!!! The
IRS is extremely aggressive pursuing collection of this type of tax. They would
rather seize your business assets, close you down, sell your assets at auction,
and put you out of business than allow you to continue amassing additional payroll
tax liabilities.
If you are behind on your payroll taxes, DO NOT meet with the IRS on your own.
How you answer their initial questions can determine whether you stay in business
or not. It is critical you hire a professional representative who knows how
the IRS operates.

Federal Tax Liens can really make your life miserable! 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.

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.

You received a notice of "intent to Levy" 30 days ago and you forgot
or ignored it. Now it's Payday. Expecting a check, you open the envelope and
find that the IRS has taken most of your money. What's left is not enough to
pay the rent, car payment, buy groceries, or pay the rest of the bills. This
action will continue on every check due you, until the tax owed is paid in full.
Now you're in big financial trouble. No matter how hard you plead with your
employer they can not give you your money. Because once a wage garnishment is
filed with your employer, your employer is required by law to collect a large
percentage of each of your paychecks.
We are regularly retained to negotiate the release of IRS wage garnishments
by arranging a payment plan. The payment plan negotiated by us is always more
favorable than any IRS wage garnishment. It allows you to receive your whole
paycheck without fears of future wage garnishments.

Unlike the levy which involves intangible assets such as your bank account,
a seizure is the taking of physical assets, such as your home or car. Seizures
usually happen in aggravated cases when someone ignores many requests by the
IRS over a long period of time to pay their outstanding taxes.
A Seizure should not be taken lightly. The IRS will ultimately pursue seizure
of your physical assets. Don't think they won't. Many a newspaper or television
show has reported citizens being forced out of their homes after it was sold
at an IRS auction, often for as little as half its value.
When the IRS seizes your assets they want to quickly sell them at auction. They
often get less than half your assets value, so they often seize everything you
own including your home, cars, boats, jewelry, motorcycles, insurance polices,
and even your retirement funds.
If you've received an IRS seizure notice, it's time to act now! Please complete

Did you know that you can settle your debt with the IRS for just pennies on
the dollar with their Offer in Compromise program? The program allows taxpayers
to settle with the IRS on tax debt that has been incorrectly assessed or for
liabilities they cannot afford to pay.
The IRS Code states: "We will accept an Offer in Compromise when it is
unlikely that we can collect the full amount owed and the amount you offer reasonably
reflects the collection potential..." (Internal Revenue Code section 7122).
Often it is possible to fully and completely eliminate the taxes you owe - including
all penalties and interest - at an enormous discount. There is no preset bottom
limit that the IRS will accept to settle your debt especially if your offer
is done "right."
If done correctly your debt may be settled for only 5-15% of what you presently
owe. The key is to determine the least amount that the IRS will accept from
you before you make the offer.
Get a Free Consultation on the solutions to your tax problems by completing
the form on the bottom of this page.
If you don't qualify for the IRS Offer In Compromise program, a Payment Plan
may be the way to resolve your problem. Setting up a payment plan with the IRS
gives you a little more time to pay off your tax debts.
Unfortunately, penalties and interest will continue to be charged on your outstanding
balance as you pay the debt off. You are required by law to pay the interest
on your tax debt.
The good news is that there's a chance we can get your tax penalties removed.

a better understanding of how we can resolve your tax problem.
Bankruptcy Your back taxes, interest and penalties can be wiped out by filing
bankruptcy. If you qualify, bankruptcy can be the best solution to resolve your
crushing tax problems.
Unfortunately, not everyone qualifies to wipe out their tax debt in bankruptcy.
Certain rules have to be met first. If you file bankruptcy and don't meet the
rules, the IRS will still be in hot pursuit after your bankruptcy is over. Proper
pre-bankruptcy planning is key to determining if bankruptcy is or can be a viable
solution.
Let us help you determine if Bankruptcy is a viable solution for you by completing

spouse or ex-spouse.

your IRS file is critical in analyzing the options available to resolve your
tax problems.

how to obtain them without raising any red flags as well as how to interpret
the information in your file.
