Your Tax Negotiator must have experience negotiating
with the IRS for you to get the best results negotiating
tax debt, unfiled tax returns or other tax problems
because IRS tax negotiation is part art and part
science.
The IRS won't even talk to
you or your professional tax negotiator about any kind
of negotiation until after you are "fully
compliant". Compliant usually just means that your
tax returns need to be filed.
As your tax negotiator I can usually get
your levy or garnishment lifted quickly at least on a
temporary basis which will allow enough time to bring
you into compliance.
If you are like a lot of taxpayers you are thinking that
you must pay the IRS something to get started, but you
don't... however, your tax returns must be filed.
You may not realize it but the IRS may have filed
returns for you. These returns are called Substitute For
Return or SFRs. When the IRS files returns for you the
tax is almost always higher than if you had filed the
returns yourself. As your tax negotiator I almost always
request the IRS to reconsider SFR returns by filing new
returns for you. This can substantially reduce your tax.

Because
the IRS requires unfiled returns be filed to enter into
a negotiation and because re-filing SFRs saves you a
bundle, I get you caught up on filing your back taxes
before I even attempt to negotiate. After you are
compliant we can begin negotiations to improve your
situation.
How
do we get started?
You
have to initiate contact with me by telephone because
the best way to start is with a conversation. Your
initial call if free and it is very easy because you simply tell me about your problem.
The key points of our conversation need to include:
Step 1:
-
What
tax years have not been filed?
-
Has
the IRS filed SFRs for you? (You may not know, but I
can find out for you.)
-
How
much money do you owe for each year and for these
years that you do owe money, when did you file the
returns? (You may not know but I can find out for
you.)
-
Tell
me about the history of your tax case and any prior
IRS negotiations and settlements, for example have
you had an Installment Agreement or Offer in
Compromise with the IRS before?
-
I
will answer any questions you have about your tax
situation.
-
The
best solution for you may be obvious. If the
solution is not clearly determinable we will
schedule a solutions appointment and at that time we
can discuss your options.
-
You
decide to either get started now, wait for a
solutions appointment, or do nothing. If you need
immediate attention you will want a professional tax
negotiator to get started immediately.
Step
2:
To get started I will send
you (usually by email attachment but this can be done by fax and
snail mail):
-
An
IRS Form 2848 Power of Attorney which the IRS
requires your tax negotiator to have on file with
the IRS.
-
A
Working Agreement which simply states in
writing the key points of our telephone conversation
such as: What I will do. What you need to do. How
long it will take. My fee and payment terms if we
know at that point what needs to be done, otherwise
we wait until a complete solution to your problem is
found and an action plan developed. Finally, any
other issues specific to your case.
I
can usually get started immediately because the signed
documents and an initial payment can be returned to me
electronically.
You will find the process of getting started to be very
quick and simple because you may need something done
fast to remove a levy or garnishment.
Step
3:
I fax your signed Power of Attorney to the IRS. If your
case requires immediate action I call the IRS and fax
the Form 2848 to the person I am talking to.
I also order your Account Transcript and your Wage &
Income Transcript. This usually takes about 48 hours,
sooner in emergency situations. Upon receipt of your
transcripts I review them and if necessary schedule key
points. This helps in developing your plan because we
are assured that we have all the information the IRS is
using.
Step
4:
How
Long Does Negotiation Take?
Usually,
it is possible to have your levy or wage garnishment
stopped immediately within a day or two, which is before
we start negotiating your tax or your payment amount
because initially, in most cases there are ways to buy
some time before we negotiate.
I do have to give the IRS assurances that we are working
on completing your returns and provide the IRS with a
timetable. This is just one example of something that I
can do for you that you can't do for yourself. The
reason is because if your credibility with the IRS has
been compromised they are less likely or unwilling to
cooperate but I do have excellent credibility because
they know my track record in dealing with them and they
know I will do the things that I say I will do. Because
of this I can get things done FAST.
There
is much more to the science of negotiating than filing
returns because of the complexity of IRS procedures
which prescribe the rules the IRS must follow in
negotiating your taxes. Many of these rules can be found
in the IRS Internal Revenue Manual. Other rules can be
found in IRS Letter Rulings, and tax law. If your tax
negotiator is to provide optimum results for you they
must be intimately familiar with the rules and
procedures that will determine the outcome of your case.
The
art of tax negotiation depends a lot on the mix of your
tax circumstances and the ways to use IRS internal
systems and procedures to your maximum advantage. Your
tax negotiator must know who to talk to at the IRS and
who not to talk to, and what to say and what must not be
said. Where is the line between right and wrong? Are we
working in a legally gray area of the tax law? There are
some skills that can only be gained from working in the
trenches, negotiating all kinds of different problems.
