Help: What A Tax Attorney Can Do
Imagine this nightmarish scenario: a young nail technician named Lisa did not file
tax returns for several years because she was just getting started in her career and simply cannot afford to do so and still pay for her basic life necessities. As is most often the case, the IRS caught up with her and slapped her with not only her tax bill but hefty fines and penalties besides. At this point, Lisa had actually paid her tax bill but the IRS had no record of it. Lisa called her local IRS office in order to try to resolve the problem herself. She was passed from person to person, put on hold for hours at a time, and eventually her call was disconnected. Similar phone calls followed for over two years: meanwhile, the interest on the original bill plus penalties was piling up. She finally contacted a tax attorney who resolved her case within days. This is a true story.
If you find yourself in serious trouble with the IRS, it's foolish and often futile to try to take on such a huge and powerful bureaucracy yourself. A good tax attorney can represent your interests and has the experience and knowledge necessary to resolve your case as quickly as possible and to your best advantage. Need help? Here's a short summary of what a tax attorney can do for you, so you don't become the next in a long line of Lisas.
--He will represent you if you are audited
--He can protest any IRS decision that states you owe more taxes than you've already paid
--He can represent you in tax court
--He can actually stop an IRS-enforced collection of tax
--He can remove liens on your accounts and/or your assets
--He can negotiate installment agreements for taxes owed
--He can protect the interests of an innocent spouse in a tax claim
--He can discharge taxes associated with a bankruptcy filing
The bottom line is: it's never a good idea to try to resolve your IRS tax problems on your own. In many cases, a good tax attorney will be able to actually settle your debt for substantially less than what you owe. And if you feel victimized by a false claim, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that you have a professional on your side to represent your interests.
Lisa's financial well-being was literally saved by her tax attorney, and she was finally able to get that awful burden off her back and get back to living her life.
