Redding

Don't agree with the IRS? Have the final say with National Tax Attorney!
Ever have a run of bad luck and think to yourself what else could possibly happen? For millions of taxpayers, that what else is going to be a letter from the IRS telling them they owe money and insisting it be paid. Immediately. Any number of errors can result in that kind of letter - a simple addition error, a transcription error (like instead of writing 2,100 you put 1,200), misunderstood directions or thinking you didn't need to file this year. If lady luck is on your side, your error would result in you receiving a check in the mail. But if not, you may end up owing money you don't conveniently sitting in the bank.
In 2015, over a quarter of a million tax returns processed by the IRS owed money to the US Treasury (1). What do these statistics have to do with you? If you don't owe the IRS, nothing. But if you were unlucky enough to get that error notice in the mail, everything. Especially if you don't have money in the bank to cover what the IRS now says you owe. Because the penalties and interest were already adding up even before you got your letter in the mail.
The truth is, in most cases where an error was found by the IRS, had the returns been professionally prepared, the errors would never have been made or at least have been caught and corrected before they got as far as the IRS auditor's desk. Once you owe the IRS, if you are incapable of covering that payment, you are staring at a mounting problem that could become a real nightmare resulting in any number of actions by the IRS including jail time.
It's the Law
Believe it or not, there are people out there who don't realize reporting your income to the IRS is codified in law. You are one step ahead of the game if you already knew that. In case you didn't, now you do. Also, if this applies to you, knowing that you may have unwittingly broken the law now leaves you with a choice to make, phone the taxing authority to see if your circumstance is such that they will agree with you or give them what they want. If the latter, be sure all the information on the form is correct including using your old address if you've relocated and using the correct form for the year you need. It stands to reason, that if you are reading this and the information just shared does indeed describe you, you have received a notice from the IRS and you are looking for a solution for the dilemma you now face. If you choose not to respond to that letter, the IRS may file the return they have inquired about by proxy. This means the IRS take it upon themselves to file for you and assesses tax based on that. Without your input into deductions and number of dependents etc., (maybe you got married or had a child that applies to that year) your balance may now be far more than in the red than you believe it to be and your world just became a whole lot more complicated because of it.  We know this because it's our business to know these things and if you live in Redding, we stand ready to help you should you decide you need it.

National Tax Attorney
Irrespective of your unique situation, National Tax Attorney has the workforce that is responsive to your needs when it comes to the IRS. Did you fail to send in a form? We have access to the correct form for the year you need, if you are indebted to the IRS, we can advocate for a payment plan complete with a reduction in any penalties and fees the IRS is charging you with. If you have a dispute with the findings of the IRS after filing a Substitute for Return for you, we will use an audit reconsideration to challenge the IRS on their findings if we find disputing the balance owed is warranted. If you consult with us, you should made be aware of the fact that our hands will be tied with the IRS if you do not bring to our attention all of the tax returns that are missing as the IRS refuses to begin negotiations unless they include everything that is needed to bring you current.

Notification of Some Pending Action
Just as we have a duty to you to be sure we identify every possible path to a solution with your tax problem, the IRS is under a mandate to look for every available pathway to get monies owed them and have several pathways by which they may lawfully proceed. They can take a percentage of your pay (garnishment) or empty your savings and checking accounts. Just as with many things in life, what may start out as a simple disagreement with the treasury, left ignored becomes increasingly more difficult to challenge and the longer you wait to do something, the more challenging it is to stop. All of the IRS's pathways start with a Notification of one sort or another. First thing to do is to respond to that initial notice but if that ship has sailed, then we need to know which pathway the IRS is taking so we can prevent you from drowning in the tidal wave that may be headed your way.
How We Can Turn Things Around
We eat, sleep and breathe tax code and we know how to use it to protect your rights as a taxpayer.

Step one, we need to file any missing returns you may have. As we said before, if the process doesn't include everything to bring you into compliance of the law, the IRS will refuse to even consider working with us. Step two, depends the state of your finances at the time of negotiations. If you can pay the taxes owed but your current situation is such that you need to postpone payment until your current circumstances are resolved, a temporary delay can be requested. If that still doesn't fix the problem we can go with one of the next two choices:

Installment Options

If payments over time are needed to accomplish the task, we can request a payment option. Sounds simple right? Not necessarily. There are short-term agreements (<120 days) and long-term agreements. Which one is right for you depends on how long you need to pay. Erring on the side of caution is best as if you miss even one payment, you start back at square one. Remember interest starts accruing on day one, so the shorter your agreement, the less tax you pay.

Offer In Compromise

When the Offer in compromise (OIC) is processed, we submit a request to the IRS asking them to accept a payment that you are confident you can come up with as full recompense. The IRS has stringent guidelines under which they will allow for an OIC. The first being that what is offered as compensation needs to equal what the IRS considers you have the ability to give them toward what is owed (in other words not only taking into consideration what you have available today but also any expected increase of future income) that includes a basic ability to make ends meet.
Let's get started today. Call us to set up a consultation and we will help move you in the direction you are most confident will end your tax woes while allowing you to live your life at its fullest.
