TAX MATTERS:

Offers in Compromise

An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between a person or business and the IRS to settle the person's liability for a certain amount. The amount is based on the persons ability to pay. It is not based on how much they owe. Offers in Compromise are complicated. The IRS does not grant them readily. People and businesses must qualify for an OIC and meet rigid criteria. Our Tax Attorneys can advise you whether you qualify for an OIC.
Levy Release

A levy is a seizure of assets. Common levy targets are bank accounts and wages. The effects of a levy can be devastating. When a levy is placed on a persons paycheck, the person will only receive a small percentage of their pay. The vast majority of their check will go to the IRS to satisfy their liability. Fortunately there is a procedure, to get a levy released if it creates an undue hardship. When the levy is released, the person may enter into an payment agreement or receive non collectible status.
Non Collectible Status

The Internal Revenue Service recognizes that sometimes people are simply unable to make payments on their obligation. If a person or business simply cannot make payments, they may qualify to be placed in non collectible status. So long as their income is not sufficient to make payments to the IRS, they will not take any steps to collect the liability.
Unfiled Tax Returns

Often people fail to file their returns for one reason or another. Once this happens, it often snowballs and years of returns end up un-filed. Our office has developed a system to deal with un-filed returns. We can obtain information from the IRS showing what was reported as income. We have an accountant in our office who is an expert at filing tax returns based on limited information. We can get the returns done and filed.
Innocent Spouse
Many of our clients have IRS liabilities that arose from a former or current spouse. They may not have had anything to do with incurring the liability. A business may have failed. A former spouse might have not paid IRS obligations. A refund might have been seized for a former spouse's liability. The IRS will collect from whoever is available and convenient.

The IRS has a program which relieves a non responsible spouse If you qualify, you won't be held liable for a former or current spouse's IRS liability.
Installment Agreements

In many cases, people simply need time to pay their tax liability. There are several types of payment agreements available to resolve tax liability. The amount you will pay each month depends on how much you owe, how much your income is and what your expenses are.
Appeals
The IRS has many ways of affecting taxpayers. Taxes may be assessed. Levy action might occur. Tax Liens may be filed and other actions might be taken. Almost every IRS action has an Appeal process. You are entitled to a review of actions taken by the IRS. In some instances you might be entitled to have a Judge review the action of the IRS.

These appeals are tricky and there are pitfalls along the way. But, an Appeal may help to solve your IRS issues by having a fresh look at the action taken.

Tax Court Representation

When the IRS takes steps against a person or business, the results may be disastrous. Many IRS actions grant a person the right to go to Court. You are entitled to a review of actions taken by the IRS by a Judge in many situations. These Court Actions are complicated. There are pitfalls along the way. But, they may help to solve your IRS problems, if handled correctly. You need a Tax Attorney to assist you throughout the Tax Court Proceeding.

Penalty Relief

Penalties can create a huge portion of the amount you owe to the IRS. Fortunately, there is a way to get rid of penalties. The procedure is called Penalty Abatement. If you have reasonable cause to have the penalties abated, you may be able to get them removed. Removal of penalties will leave a much lower balance owed to the IRS.
Bankruptcy Tax Relief

It is a little known fact that many taxes are subject to discharge through Bankruptcy. There are complicated rules about whether they are subject to discharge in Bankruptcy. There are many factors that determine whether they can be discharged in Bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy Discharge of taxes is very, very tricky. You need the expertise of both an Bankruptcy Lawyer and a Tax Lawyer to guide you through the complicated steps. Our Tax Attorneys and Bankruptcy Attorneys are well versed in Bankruptcy Discharge of Taxes.
