Simon Rimmington's List: Fresh Start Tax - IRS Tax Problem Help

Case History: Claudette M. was being audited by the IRS for 3 years on several different tax issues and the IRS Agent was very difficult. We were not going to be bullied or pushed around by an IRS Revenue Agent. Since we are former IRS agents we know their boundaries.

The Great Result: We immediately went to their area manager and supervisor with our complaints and the paperwork we submitted to the agent who had made unreal expectations. IRS no changed the tax return. "No Changed the Return " means they made absolutely no changes to the tax returns for three years.

The Streamline Agreement

The Streamline Agreement can be obtained quickly. The rule for the Streamline Agreement is that the tax due to the IRS is under $25,000, including all penalties and interest. Also you must have all your tax returns filed with current withholding tax taken out or estimated tax paid, if applicable. Under the Streamline Agreement the balance must be paid within 60 months or before the statue of limitation time period. Fresh Start Tax can get these cases resolved immediately. We can usually get a Streamline Agreement set-up within one hour. One benefit of a Streamline Agreement is that no financial statement is required.
The Long Term Agreement

The long term agreement has several names, Installment Agreement or Part Pay Agreement are the most common names. The IRS requires a completed Form 433A or Form 433F financial statement depending on which division is working the case. The ACS unit requires a 433F and the local or large dollar unit requires a 433A. These cases are looked over more carefully and require complete documentation. The IRS will require bank statements, pay stubs, copies of all bills and possibly even canceled checks. The IRS will also follow the National Standards Program which allows a limited amount of expenses per category. It is not recommended that the taxpayer, begin this process with the IRS. Unless you work with the IRS on these issues it is difficult to determine what they allow and what they do not. A professional can negotiate a better deal. The key in getting a good Part Pay Agreement is packaging. At Fresh Start Tax we are the best at handling this process.

While working at the IRS it was one of my jobs to make determinations on the abatement of penalties and interest. We know all the criteria and internal information used to process and accept these cases.

The IRS is very tough on the abatement of penalties and interest. Once assessed, penalties and interest are considered tax. It is a major project to get penalties and interest abated. The IRS needs plenty of documentation before any consideration is made. Each penalty abatement request is based on its own merit, its own situation and statement of facts. 90% of all abatement requests are rejected for reasons such as lack of documentation, the timeline does not fit the case, the taxpayer has been a habitual delinquent, the taxpayer has had similar problems in the past or has multiple years involved, and mainly, the taxpayer submits a one page self serving letter.
