Can I adjust my monthly payment plan with the IRS?

Monthly Payment Plan with the IRS

The answer is yes.  If you want to send in more, just send the addition amount you want to  send.  The IRS will always accept more and will not adjust your monthly requirement just because you start paying more.  However, remember that no matter how much you send in, you still have to pay the minimal amount due each month.  You do not build up any “credit” towards future payments by sending in more.

If you situation has changed and you want to lower your monthly payment plan with the IRS commitment.  That is possible too, but it will require a “strategic default.”  Before you default on making your payment, you should have a good idea what your new monthly amount the IRS will expect.  We advise our clients what their new amount will be ahead of the strategic default.  When the default notice comes, we are prepared ahead of time to immediately call the IRS and renegotiate a new payment plan before any levy action is taken against our client’s wages or bank accounts.

There are probably other strategies that you are unaware of that can reduce you monthly payment plan even lower that what you are seeking.  If you do not have medical insurance or need a new vehicle you can get your payment plan reduced and improve you living standards as well.  If you need help to reduce your monthly payment plan with the IRS, call me for a consultation at 480-926-9300.

taxdebtadvisors.com – What will get the IRS off my back?

I need the IRS off my back

The IRS will leave you alone when the following has occurred:

1)      You prove that you have insufficient equity in any real or personal property.  If you have no equity in your car or home the IRS isn’t interested in taking it from you.

2)      If you are on a payment plan and current on your payments the IRS will stay off your back.

3)      If you are appealing an IRS decision, collection action will cease until a decision has be made by the Appeals Office.

4)      If you have filed an offer in compromise that is deemed processible, the IRS will leave you alone.

5)      If you have filed an innocent spouse claim, collection ceases as long as it is pending.

6)      If you file a bankruptcy, collection action stops until your bankruptcy is over.

7)      If you are classified as currently not collectible, collection action stops as long as you maintain that status.

Don’t just assume that you have no acceptable settlement options once you have been contacted by the IRS.  We can assess quickly what options are available to you and even more important, get you that settlement with the IRS.  Scott Allen EA is here in Mesa Arizona to represent you.

INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF

Innocent Spouse Relief: IRS

On occasion, one spouse is totally unaware or responsible for the improper actions of their marriage partner on tax matters.  If this unfortunate situation occurs to you, innocent spouse relief is possible.  To qualify: (1) You must have filed a joint return which has tax errors caused by your spouse, (2) You did not know when you signed the return that there was an understatement of tax and (3) It would be unfair to hold you liable for taxes taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances.

Innocent spouse relief can reduce all of the tax, interest and penalties of the items reported incorrectly.  You will be held responsible for joint liabilities that were reported correctly that generated a tax debt owed.  On these debts the IRS can collect from either spouse in whole or in part.

To file a claim for innocent spouse relief, you must submit IRS form 8857.  Professional assistance will help you to provide the facts and circumstances of your case in the most favorable light.  Claims submitted can take several months for the IRS to make a decision.
