Back Taxes Help – Insider Secrets 

Call us Now for Free Consultation and Case Analysis

Does the IRS want you to make a full payment of back taxes or are they demanding that you agree to a payment plan that is more than you can afford? It happens more often than you may imagine. Don’t hide from the IRS or fall into the trap of talking
to the International Revenue Service without professional representation.

Many taxpayers contact the IRS themselves trying to negotiate a monthly payment plan but don’t realize that doing so could cause more problems. When you begin
speaking to the IRS, they will ask personal and detailed questions about your
income, employment, vehicles, banking information, rent or mortgage payments, etc.

IRS employees are trained to get as much information from you as possible to use
against you later. This information will serve as a road map to help the IRS back taxes team decide where and when they want to levy, seize or place liens
against your various assets. For example, an IRS Collection Officer may want
you to commit to a payment  you can’t afford. However, if you don’t
agree to their plan, the IRS now possesses all the information necessary to go
after your wages, bank account, house, car, and other valuable assets.

The IRS Manual says that if you agree to a higher monthly payment amount disregarding the National Standards, they are not required to inform you of any
alternative programs that might be beneficial. This may sound unbelievable, but it’s true. National Standards were put into effect by Congress in
1998 to protect taxpayers like you from the heavy-handed tactics of the IRS.
The regulations state that a taxpayer who enters a payment plan with the IRS is
allowed a certain allowance for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and
medical expenses. These allowances are part of a complex analysis designed to
create an “appropriate” monthly payment amount when you file back
taxes.

The IRS may seek to impose a criminal offense for failure to file tax returns as required. Even if you do file, the tax returns must be accurate and truthful. For
example, if the IRS detects false returns, a fraud referral to the Criminal
Investigation Division will be generated.
