“Pennies on the Dollar” Tax Relief

Although you might hear on television, the radio, or social media that tax companies can reduce your tax debt to “pennies on the dollar”, they aren’t telling you the whole truth. The IRS does not simply cave to great negotiators. They don’t simply accept less when they don’t have to. Why would they since they hold all the cards? They can put a lien on your property so that they get paid first if you sell it. They can levy your back account. And they can even garnish your wages.

Even though the IRS doesn’t simply negotiate for lower tax assessments, our team can ensure that your tax assessment is the lowest allowable by law and that you don’t pay more than you can afford under IRS code.

The Process Really Matters

Our path to tax relief and the appropriate tax resolution starts with a thorough investigation by our legal team. They examine your complete tax history, relevant documents such as IRS letters, and tax returns when appropriate to get a comprehensive view. If necessary, they then secure a stay of collections to pause aggressive IRS actions while we help you get compliant (i.e., filing missing tax returns) or collect the information or evidence you need for us to mount a successful defense or appeal. We have worked with countless clients who followed the advice of a tax preparer or CPA who did not conduct a thorough investigation. In many cases, these taxpayers ended in far worse positions than they would have been had our team conducted the comprehensive tax analysis. Any company that quotes you a fee for full services without conducting a thorough review is either charging you to much or will most likely come back for more fees. How do they know what you need? Our attorneys provide a flat-rate, guaranteed fee as part of their recommendation, and we won’t come back for more no matter how many hours we spend fighting for you!

False Promises of a Fresh Start or Offer in Compromise (OIC)

Clients often report that they have heard companies claim they can reduce their tax liability to pennies on the dollar. If clients do qualify for these types of agreements, Accelerated Tax Solutions is quite experienced handling them. However, we don’t dangle these offers in front of our clients in what amounts to a bait and switch as many firms do. Many companies entice you to apply for an offer in compromise aka the Fresh Start Program, only to come back for more services after you have been rejected. Our experienced staff of tax professionals will gladly discuss all the options you qualify for. If an OIC is right for you, our team will get it done, but we certainly won’t charge you for an OIC application when we know you won’t qualify or when we know such a program is against your best interest. The IRS warns, “unscrupulous companies [engage in] scams commonly called OIC ‘mills’, which cast a wide net for taxpayers, charge them pricey fees, and churn out applications for a program they are unlikely to qualify for. In 2019, there were 54,000 OICs submitted to the IRS. The agency accepted 18,000 of them.”

Be Wary of Retainers and Monthy Fees

Some companies ask for monthly payments for them to monitor your case and take action when necessary. These are unnecesary expenses that even the FTC warns against. What exactly are they doing for the monthly charge. If they are waiting for IRS, then you are simply paying the company to wait. And you don’t need to have a company on retainer. The IRS warns you before they take action, and our legal team can secure a stay of collections in order to complete necessary work to address the IRS claims. There is no need to pay a company to be prepared to do work. They should be able to tell you exactly what steps they are taking to address your concerns and how much those services will cost.

Legitimate Ways to Pay Less than the IRS Claims

Although the IRS doesn’t simply agree to accept less than you owe, our legal team is aware of all of the legal routes to lowering the amount you pay.

1. Is the assessment correct in the first place? Did the IRS make calculation errors or receive inaccurate reports that can be corrected? Did the IRS file a subsitute for return (SFR) that can be challenged? Did they IRS deny credits or deductions that you are actually entitled to?
2. How much can you afford by law? We know exactly what the law allows you to count as expenses, so that we can conduct a thorough financial analysis and demonstrate your maximum ability to pay to the IRS. The IRS has to allow you to operate your business, and they have to allow you to support your family first.
3. How much time to you have to pay the debt? Our attorneys will know exactly how long you have to pay the debt back, and we will argue in favor of the timeframe that fits your needs. And if you can’t pay it back within the allotted time at the permissible level, then that is all they get.
4. Can we recover any penalties and interest? Our attorneys know how to reduce what you owe by reducing the amount of penalties and interest, either by reducing the assessment or by challenging such fees through penalty abatement.
