  1. "I am solitary and I owe the IRS $80,000 in back tax obligations for tax years 2000 via 2003. I assume I possibly owe some money to the State of Ohio and I presently make $40,000 each year. I just got a Notice of Levy, which specifies that the Internal Revenue Service plans to garnish my incomes. I recognize I will certainly be discharged if my employer figures out. What can I do?" The foregoing is an archetype of the kinds of tax issues a tax law firm encounters every day. People faced with tax obligation troubles as well as impending levies and/or garnishments are usually emotionally troubled - thinking that they will certainly shed their houses, their work, their marriages. Numerous are worried that they will even be sent out to prison. However, a number of their concerns stand. In this new age of aggressive tax obligation enforcement, losing your house is a real opportunity and also being sent out to prison is not totally inconceivable. The good news is, this tax trouble does not need to ruin our customer's life. Those of us that activate the television even just as soon as a week for 15 minutes is aware of the Well known Deal in Concession program. This program addresses your tax issues for "cents on the buck." Unfortunately, despite what you listen to on tv, you really need to remain in dire straits to get this program. Our $40,000 per year single tax client might, however possibly will not certify. It he has any type of cash left over from his paycheck, he can be certain the IRS desires it. However, numerous tax customers do qualify for an Installment Arrangement, either partial or full. A $40,000 per year single tax customer can not potentially pay off an $80,000 tax debt, especially when penalties and rate of interest remain to accumulate. Under these scenarios, a Partial Pay Installation Contract is most likely the most effective option. This strategy allows our tax client to pay the IRS a sensible amount every month. Many times, the IRS will certainly accept approve less than the complete amount due and forego fines and also rate of interest. Obviously, if our tax obligation client's earnings increases, the IRS will likely find this new-found money as well as will certainly seek to renegotiate the payment plan. The IRS does recognize that every person needs a place to sleep, as well as specific other fundamental needs. In order to John Du Wors Attorney negotiate the most effective payment plan possible, our tax obligation customer will need to make up these needs in painful detail. The more cash he requires to pay his monthly home mortgage, the much less money he has in his pocket to pay the IRS. Keep in mind however, the Internal Revenue Service has actually established national standards for the standard necessities. With a revenue of $40,000 per year, our single tax customer shouldn't depend on having the ability to remain in his $250,000 residence. The good news is that the IRS has a statute of restrictions. The IRS can not remain to collect from our tax client greater than 10 years after the tax was examined without suing him for an expansion, which is very unusual. In the case of our $40,000 per year tax customer, the tax obligations owing for 2000 were likely evaluated at some point around 2002. The IRS has a "drop-dead day" in 2012. If it hasn't gathered by that time, our tax obligation customer can likely relax easy that the tax obligation debt for that year is gone. As always, with the bright side comes the negative. A State such as Ohio does not have a law of restrictions. They can and will seek our tax clients forever. We just recently had a customer who owned a vehicle dealer over twenty

  2. years back. He stopped working to pay sales tax in 1982. Greater than 25 years later on, the State of Ohio levied him for the unpaid sales tax obligation. Of course, he no more had any kind of documents to challenge the quantity they declared he owed. Nonetheless, he did have pictures of the dealership, which were repossessed in 1982. We had the ability to create these photos to the State of Ohio, in order to document the number of vehicles he really had in his inventory at the time. We were able to reduce his tax debt by over $100,000. Similar to our auto dealer, our tax obligation client that makes $40,000 per year is not without hope. With quick participation on our part and also participation from our customer, the wage garnishment can be quit, before the employer has any knowledge of it. The trick is instant activity. If the Internal Revenue Service understands that a tax professional will be submitting a suggested resolution to the trouble, any kind of upcoming levy and/or garnishment will likely remain until a mutually-agreeable resolution is established. It is necessary that tax obligation issues be handled as quickly and also effectively as possible. Or else, our tax customer may locate himself not able to pay his home mortgage or make his cars and truck payment, as the IRS has taken almost all of his $770 each week income.
