Offer in Compromise.
Taxpayer’s liability in excess of $100,000 settled for less
than five thousand dollars through offer in compromise based
on doubt as to collectability.
Offer in
Compromise. Taxpayer’s liability in excess of $60,000
eliminated completely (zero paid) because of an offer in
compromise based on doubt as to liability.
Collection
Freeze. All IRS collection activity stopped because taxpayer had no ability to pay the tax
because of a
physical disability. Zero paid to the IRS.
Better
Installment Agreement. Client owed a large payroll tax
liability. She already had worked out several installment
payment plans, but defaulted on each one when she failed to
stay current with subsequent payroll and income taxes. IRS threatened
a levy and refused her another installment payment
plan. With our professional assistance, we not only removed
the threat of levy, but also obtain a new installment
payment plan with a lower monthly payment than what she had
before despite the fact that her tax liability had grown
dramatically.
Lapse of Statute of Limitations.
Taxpayer liability in excess of $50,000 reduced to less than
$4,000 when we stalled IRS collection activities until the
statute limitations lapsed for most of the liability.
Taxpayer paid the remaining tax liability and went merrily
his way.
Wage Levy.
IRS levied taxpayer’s wages at Fortune 100 company.
The company has a policy of terminating employment upon
second levy or garnishment, regardless of the reason for the
levy or garnishment. We avoided the second levy, and
successfully delayed the implementation of an installment
agreement so that wages could be used to pay non-tax debts,
thereby avoided a garnishment on account of those non-tax
debts.
Levy release.
IRS issued levy on the taxpayer’s sole customer for unpaid
payroll taxes exceeding $50,000. We ensured that the levy
was avoided, thereby providing the revenues desperately
needed to stay in business.
Responsible Person for 100% penalty on payroll taxes.
IRS asserted the 100% penalty for unpaid payroll taxes on
account of a defunct business. We successfully argued that
the employee was not a responsible person and, therefore,
not liable for the penalty. Zero paid to IRS.
Stopped Levy and Obtained Refund, Client was
facing a threat of IRS levy on account of discharge-of-indebtedness income. Offer in Compromise based on
doubt as to liability resulted in tax liability being
reduced to zero and a refund paid to the client.
Appealed of Denied Offer in Compromise. IRS denied
Offer in Compromise. We appealed on the bases that the
IRS erroneously failed to take into account child support
payments. IRS denied the appeal. After working
with the Taxpayer Advocates Services of the IRS, we learned
that the appeal file was never opened by the IRS.
After the IRS was forced to open the appeal, the taxpayer's
Offer in Compromise was accepted.
