But in the process he was getting billed by the Tax Attorney over $8,000 in fees.\u00a0 Afterwards the client came to see us to see what his IRS options were from this point forward.\u00a0 In evaluating his financial situation it was determined that the IRS would put his IRS debt into a Non Collectible Status and pay ZERO dollars on his debt.\u00a0 Whether or not the client owed the IRS $50,000 or $80,000 he still would have qualified for <a href=\"https:\/\/taxdebtadvisors.com\/irs-currently-not-collectible.html\">Non Collectible status<\/a>. \u00a0What it really worth $8,000 to fight the IRS in an audit? \u00a0Had the client met with Tax Debt Advisors, Inc. instead of a Tempe AZ IRS Tax Attorney we could have saved the client $8,000 in audit representation fees.\u00a0 For this clients particular case he was charged by our company only $1,650 to have us qualify him for Non Collectible Status with the IRS.\u00a0 As of today he is still in Non Collectible Status with the IRS however his is still making monthly payments to pay off his debt with the IRS Tax Attorney in Tempe he hired.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make costly mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Make the right choice at the beginning of this process<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 Before meeting with a Tempe Arizona IRS Tax Attorney contact Scott Allen E.A. at 480-926-9300 and have him evaluate your IRS tax audit at no cost and see what he would recommend.\u00a0 Doing it the right way from the beginning will save you two ways: \u00a0with the IRS and with retaining a trusted IRS representative.\u00a0 We have represented clients all over Tempe, AZ which include the zip codes such as 85281 and 85283.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below is an example (or testimonial) of how Scott Allen EA helped his client Joe settle seven years of back taxes into a extremely low month payment plan.
