Since 1977: Tax Debt Advisors

What should you expect in your first meeting with an IRS Relief company?

First, you should not expect to pay for your initial consultation.

Second, make sure that the person you are talking to will be the one that will represent you before the IRS should you decide to retain their services. If you are talking with a sales person who will send your information and money to a central office outside of the state, you are working with the wrong firm.

Third, telephone interviews with companies outside of your local may sound good but you will have a very hard time getting someone to call you back except to ask you for more money.

Fourth, see if they have testimonials that are real. The only ones that cannot be disputed are letters from the IRS to clients and their Power of Attorney representative. You can see in black and white what was accomplished for the client. Most if not all testimonials on Web sites were written by the company (There are plenty of Tax Debt Advisors Reviews on this website for you to view)

Fifth, after explaining your problem, you should have a good idea of the steps that your representative will take to correct your problem.

Six, only pay the cost of the next step. If you need investigative work, pay for just the Power of Attorney work. If you need tax returns, pay for them one at a time as they are completed. By this time, you will know if your representative knows what they are doing and has a track record of following through.

Finally, get all of the settlement options in front of you at one time and understand the pros and cons of each one. There is something good about each option and something not so good. However, one option is much better than all the others. Once your settlement agreement has been decided on and agreed to by the IRS, know what you need to do to keep that settlement valid.

IRS SETTLEMENTS BY SCOTT ALLEN EA

I often hear clients say, “if you can just get me out of this mess with the IRS, I will never get back in trouble again.” The truth is that 100% of our clients will be given a settlement with the IRS that in most cases exceeds their expectations. Many say, “If I knew it was going to be that easy, I would have done this years ago.”

Getting the IRS settlement is not the hard part. The hard part is breaking the habit that caused the problem in the first place. In most cases that requires adjusting one’s life style to adjust to a new expense in one’s life–income taxes–Federal, State and payroll. This amount varies, especially between individuals who are employees vs. self-employed. But let’s use a round number of 30%. If one is making $100,000, adding $30,000 in additional expenses means cutting out something else that they were used to spending money on.

The IRS estimates that about 70% of the individuals put on an installment arrangement default within one year. Experience has shown us that when clients see the reality of paying taxes, it is too easy not to pay in the “voluntary” estimated taxes, or to adjust their withholdings when “emergencies” arise. Then when it comes time to file and full pay by April 15, to keep their settlement valid–they default when funds are not available to stay current on their tax liability.

Successful resolution with the IRS is not just getting the settlement; it means that one must break habits pertaining to spending, living within a budget and making the tax payments as important as other monthly expenses. One must avoid seeing the IRS as a credit card, in the sense that you pay other expenses by not paying the IRS. Unfortunately the easiest expense not to pay is the IRS. However, it is also the hardest one to catch on as well.
