Do Not Call the IRS First!
Call Now for Free Consultation and Case Analysis

If you were to call the IRS yourself, rather than employing a tax attorney, they will ask specific questions and gather information so that they can use it  against you.

The IRS will ask you about bank account numbers, investments, where you work and how you work. This is all an effort to seize your assets!

That is why it is of the utmost importance that you do not talk to the IRS yourself and have a tax lawyer speak with them on your behalf. Here at Tax Rep Pros LLC, we have seen many of our clients mistakenly contact the IRS first, thinking that they would be able to find out more information. Unfortunately, they quickly learn that their bank accounts, wages and even their beloved cars were all quickly seized – all because they answered a few questions to the IRS. Let the tax professionals at Tax Rep Pros LLC give you all the IRS help you need.

Should you have a representative & will the IRS think you are guilty when you do? Unfortunately, the IRS always assumes that you are guilty. They never believe excuses or think that you are innocent. They have heard every excuse under the sun a thousand times over – and they do not care.

Hiring a tax professional to represent you is extremely important. As you have seen on TV dozens of times, people are often convicted, not with solid evidence, but with the statements that are given to the police. Your silence is the best thing that you can do for yourself – and let a professional give you IRS help. While you may wonder if involving us may make you appear ‘guilty,’ this is not the
case. The IRS prefers working with attorneys and will expedite your case, rather than spending time repetitively interrogating you.

 

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.

We represent numerous clients who have missed filing some of their state or federal taxes. Some clients are only behind a year or two. Others need to catch up on their filings way back into the 1990s. Regardless of complexity, our CPA  promptly prepares accurate back taxes while aiming to minimize the risk of criminal prosecution and enforced tax collection by the taxing agencies.

Due to circumstances beyond their control, many of our clients have lost their tax records, making the preparation of old back taxes more complicated. Our tax lawyers often reconstruct and retrace clients’ tax records. Our CPA can prepare reasonably accurate tax returns by working closely with the clients. Many taxpayers have back taxes because they do not have the money to pay the balance due on the tax return. Our CPA strongly believes that in most circumstances, filing the missing tax returns is in the best interest of the client
