IRS Problems
The single biggest problem you can have is an IRS debt that you can’t afford to pay. There is a lot of TV advertising telling you that you can settle with the IRS for just pennies on the dollar. Do you think that if you have the means of paying your tax debt, even if it takes several years, that the IRS is just going to give up and go away? Not likely!There are payment plans available to you. There is such a thing as an “Offer and Compromise.” You need to seek professional advice before making an agreement with the IRS. Be sure you can meet your end of the deal before you make a commitment. The IRS is not very forgiving if you do not keep up your end of the bargain. Keep in mind that if you owe Federal taxes because of a change in your return you are most likely going to owe your State also.
Knowledge is priceless!
