Peace of Mind Through a Reputable Tax Resolution Specialist
Someone who is drowning isn’t particular about the person who rescues them.
It may feel like you’re struggling to tread water with your tax debt. But don’t latch on to the first “lifesaver” that appears.
Because unfortunately, scams and poor business practices are out there.
We want to encourage you with more than relief. To ensure your situation never repeats itself again.
Stick with us, it’ll be worth it.
The Process for a Reputable Tax Resolution Specialist
Rather than start with red flags to watch for, we’ll help you recognize the trustworthy professionals.
Personalized business services of this nature should ideally be handled in-office. With a local accounting firm.
Doing so remotely is okay, but presenting your supporting documents for in-person review is better.
Here’s the proper steps a
tax resolution specialist will follow:
- Provide you with a free consultation
- Conduct a financial analysis of your tax case
- Help you work through options for the right fit
- Negotiate with the IRS on your behalf
Breaking Down the Steps
After meeting with you, expect a search for a clear picture of your financial background. Including performing their due diligence in asking why you owe the IRS money.
This information will be required for the appeal stage.
A word of caution. If they promise a numerical reduction before this step is completed, seek assistance elsewhere. Scams usually promise the moon and deliver a cardboard cutout of it.
Good ones will save you lots of time in researching options. Plus, have you ever tried reading through the IRS website? Let’s just say, nobody does it for the enjoyment of doing so.
Afterwards, you’ll receive a realistic, customized plan of attack.
The authority they carry into any negotiation is invaluable. As you offload the task of talking with the IRS, you’ll finally be able to breathe. More in the sense of relief.
Or from our earlier analogy, in the form of a lifesaver.
In addition, they’ll translate any “legalese” into language you can understand.
Moving on, allow us to make the case for a certified individual to take up your situation.
Why You Should Work With an IRS Enrolled Agent
Before highlighting the reasons to work with an IRS enrolled agent, it’s worth discussing how tax software falls short.
Don’t get us wrong. These tools do help with simple tax preparation.
But you need good old fashioned human critical-thinking for your case. Trust us on this one.
Qualified
tax resolution services contribute:
- Familiarity with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and Internal Revenue Manual (IRM)
- Finding the most effective solution tailored to your personal situation
- Ability to spot when the state or IRS made a mistake
- Seamlessly move you from one strategy to another
- Education to prevent future issues with the IRS
TurboTax and H&R Block also have dealt with data breaches in the past. Leading to identity theft and a loss of public trust.
Your local accountant likely invests in cybersecurity and isn’t a prime target for hackers.
In our digital age, this is an important distinction.
Now, let’s look at why a certified agent is your best bet.
Qualifications of Your Professional Advocate
According to the federal website, there are currently over 60,000 IRS enrolled agents. Achieving this status carries with it the highest credential from the agency.
Steps they follow for certification:
- Passing a three-part comprehensive exam
- Proving ethical standards at their firm
- Completing ongoing education
To begin, the 300 question test covers both business and individual tax returns.
Next, a background check is done to double check that the accountant has compliant personal and business returns.
Finally, every three years they must finish 72 hours of continuing education.
Similar to CPAs and attorneys, this grants them certain exclusive rights. And opens the doors to represent your specific case.
Next, it’s time to clear up any misconceptions you may have.
Set Yourself Up for Success With Realistic Expectations
Marketers for the less reputable firms may be to blame for your confusion.
For example, supposed evidence of a former client’s tax liability being reduced by thousands of dollars. Amazing right?
Almost too good to be true. Likely because it is.
Our point isn’t that the process won’t yield results. We simply want you to have a clear understanding of the facts.
And there’s a reason behind this.
Even if the IRS rejects your Offer in Compromise (OIC), there’s no need to fret. Most tax resolution clients find a remedy.
Each situation is different, but there are some general solutions that apply to most circumstances.
Moving Towards Resolution of Your Issues
What it might look like:
- Fair payment plan to pay off your balances over time
- Chance to retain your valuable assets
- Keeping your dignity intact
Removing the pressure from IRS collection calls will present a fresh outlook on your case. One that’s more manageable.
And your new tax advisor can assist with accountability on the repayment plan.
If a levy has been placed on your property or bank account, there’s an opportunity to remove it. Freeing you to make reasonable payments.
Taking chunks out of the total until it reaches a zero balance.
Lastly, your self-respect will get a major boost from the resolution of what you owe. With that comes the confidence you need to succeed in business and life.
It’s extremely hard to put a price on that.
Which brings us to the end of our discussion on selecting the best expert.
Since you are better equipped for the decision, we need to cover one final area.
