TAX RELIEF Suite of Services

IRS FRESH START PROGRAM

The IRS created a program aimed at taxpayers owing less than $50,000 to help streamline the burden of the collection process for both taxpayers and the IRS.  The guidelines offer some very attractive tax savings for qualified taxpayers.  It is highly recommended to have a tax expert work with you through this program to guarantee you obtain the best result. The program focuses on three components: Releases of Federal Tax Liens, streamlined Installment Agreements, and the Offer in Compromise.

OFFER IN COMPROMISE (“OIC”)

The Offer in Compromise (OIC) is a program that allows a taxpayer to settle their delinquent taxes for LESS than the total amount the IRS claims they owe. The OIC is arguably the most widely used of all tax relief programs. In addition, new tax laws have given fresh hope to those who previously did not qualify for an OIC under old legislation.

  3. We know that a prepared and calculated approach is the only way to maintain our excellent track record of consistent OIC acceptance

Settle your tax bill for LESS than the IRS claims you owe!

 

INNOCENT SPOUSE CLAIM

The tax debt that follows the break-up of a marriage can be the most destructive aftershock of a divorce. Many times innocent spouses find themselves liable for the old misdeeds of their significant others. The Innocent Spouse Law is intended to provide relief when an innocent spouse has been the victim of fraud.

What Urgent Tax Can Do

We can determine if you qualify for relief as an innocent spouse. And now the IRS applies a “less strict” set of requirements to obtain innocent spouse relief. These new standards make it easier than ever to qualify for help and to prevent further financial abuse and hardship.

PENALTY/INTEREST ABATEMENT (“PA”)

For those that have the ability to pay their tax debt in full, we suggest they do so. However, IRS tax penalties, along with interest often make up the bulk of the delinquent tax bill, and are often the main cause of an unmanageable tax problem. Several IRS provisions help taxpayers get relief. If you had a good reason for falling behind on your taxes, you’re in luck. IRS penalties and interest are often negotiable.

What Urgent Tax Can Do
If you qualify, we can help you get all of your penalties (and possibly even some of the interest) either removed from your tax debt or refunded back to you by the IRS.

LIENS, WAGE GARNISHMENT, BANK LEVIES and PROPERTY SEIZURES

The three most aggressive forms of IRS collection activity are:

  1. Filing Tax Liens
  2. Wage Garnishments and Bank Levies
  3. Property Seizures.
LIENS

These tax liens are a public record stating that you owe various taxes. They are filed with the County Clerk from which you or your business operates. These liens often make it impossible to: purchase a home, retain various employment, even buy a car.

WAGE GARNISHMENTS AND BANK LEVIES

An IRS levy is the actual action taken by the IRS to collect taxes. For example, the IRS can issue a bank levy to obtain your cash in savings and checking accounts. Or the IRS can levy your wages or accounts receivable.

A common call to us is for emergency help with a garnishment. Our professional staff understands how important a regular paycheck is to our clients and their families. Upon being retained, our tax attorneys immediately contact the IRS and negotiate by:

  1. Offering up livable voluntary payment plan.
  2. Lowering the garnishment to an amount that’s easily affordable.
  3. Placing a client in immediate “Uncollectable Status” in which case NO money is collected by the IRS for a designated period of time.

But, this is only a temporary solution. Our consultants will follow up by developing a long-term strategy for dealing with your tax debt, often this means filing an offer in compromise for our clients.

SEIZURES

The IRS has broad powers when it comes to seizure of assets. These powers allow them to seize personal and business assets to pay off outstanding tax liabilities. Taxpayers usually have been avoiding the IRS before the IRS actually resorts to seizure activity. The IRS attempts to collect amounts owed to them and a seizure is the ultimate act in their collection efforts. This is the highest level of IRS collection and it handled by our staff with immediate attention and resolution.

AUDIT REPRESENTATION

Few things in LIFE can be as intimidating as going through an IRS AUDIT.

Audits fall into two main categories:

  1. Income totals on a tax return don’t match with income totals the IRS receives from other sources
  2. Deductions appear questionable.

The IRS is very stubborn if they suspect information on a business or personal tax return is incorrect, exaggerated or just plain false. Once the IRS has assigned their resources they have all the motivation they need to collect the maximum amount. Without legal muscle on your side you are simply outmatched.

Any tax audit is a VERY stressful process, thus giving the IRS an immediate advantage and they prey on this advantage. Stress free negotiation is the key to getting an attractive settlement from the IRS. We simply take the stress away. In addition, we also reduce the stress on the local IRS agent. Many local IRS agents take these audits personally and are overzealous to collect. Our attorneys are veteran referees who take the focus above the local level. As a large national firm we naturally create a calmer environment, therefore maximizing the odds of brokering the best deal possible.

Retaining “Audit Expert Tax Attorneys” is a no-brainer. We take the issue off your plate. Our job is to negotiate every single aspect of your audit and in most cases our clients never have to speak with the IRS directly. We won’t let the IRS force you to sign your life away. With our attorneys standing in between you and the IRS you can focus on other more important things.

Once the audit has concluded, if you do happen to owe any taxes we also resolve that issue with delayed payments, installment agreements or in other ways that best meet your needs.

Bottom line: The IRS’ two biggest weapons in any audit are: FEAR and IGNORANCE OF TAX LAW. We simply take those weapons away. We’ll settle your audit as quickly and quietly as possible. Fighting for the RIGHTS of taxpayers is simply our full time job.

CRIMINAL TAX

The most serious of all delinquent tax issues is a Criminal Tax matter (many people simply avoid the IRS for so long that their case becomes a criminal matter).

Urgent Tax Help Tax Tip: NEVER talk to an IRS Criminal Division (CID) Agent without first consulting an experienced tax attorney.

Underestimating the gravity of a criminal tax matter can prove devastating. The IRS routinely obtains convictions in over 75% of their criminal tax cases. A taxpayer should NEVER speak with an IRS Criminal Division (CID) Special Agent without first consulting with experienced representation. Many CID court cases are easily won by the IRS due to statements made by a delinquent taxpayer BEFORE they hired representation. Prompt and immediate attention to a CID matter secures your best chance at a winning resolution.

What Urgent Tax Can Do

By recognizing early when there is a potential criminal tax problem, Urgent Tax has the best chance of arriving at a successful resolution for you.
