Not always is the best resolution an offer in compromise. A good tax practitioner looks at the whole situation and uses the tax laws to get the best resolution for our clients. An example of this is a recent case where we had a client with a tax liability that had the 10 year collection statute of limitations coming up and the IRS was getting aggressive in collecting the debt in the limited time left. We proposed an Installment agreement based on the client's ability to pay a...nd we documented those facts.The IRS denied the installment agreement claiming that the purpose was to delay collections. We showed the IRS that the client was following the rules and we had to escalate the situation to the area manager, who finally agreed to it. Our client now has only a few payments to make and they will be free of their debt in 4 months! Great Job Brittany Turner EA in aggressively advocating for our client! See more

Congratulations to B.J.H. on the IRS accepting your Offer in Compromise! We settled 30,000 in IRS debt for 4,600. We were pushing for a lower amount but we had to raise our offer somewhat to get it over the finish line. Great work by Brittany Turner EA in getting the job done!

Congratulations to P.M. on getting your Offer In Compromise accepted. We settled 11,000 in IRS debt for $200. Brittany Turner EA worked this case very hard. We have an ethos of working for our clients whether their debt is 100k or 10k.

I have been posting about all the great results of getting offers in compromise accepted. Which are wonderful as folks can get a fresh start without huge tax bills hanging over their heads. However even in situations where an offer in compromise is not possible, we can still render great benefit. Yesterday I met with a lovely couple that had a large tax liability, over 200k. Their income was inconsistent as real estate brokers.They came to us in 2015 and at that point they q...ualified for an offer, but as we were putting together the package, they started making more money. We decided to wait and see what the next year would bring, and we were able to get them into a Currently Not Collectible status with the IRS. This was great as their Social Security stopped getting levied and they were protected from collection activity for 2 years. What finally happened is that they recently sold their home for 1.3 million dollars, and they paid their taxes in full. However they walked away with over 400k from their home equity, that they would not have had 3 years ago. Their home appreciated considerably in the interim. By us delaying the IRS they were able to build up their equity. Not a bad resolution. See more

Congratulations to P.S. on the acceptance of your Offer In Compromise. We settled a tax debt of over $140,000 for a one time payment of $200. This situation is an amazing example of sticking with the program. This client has been with our firm since 2010 and we had him in an installment agreement. However the financial situation deteriorated and then we were able to get the Offer submitted and accepted. Great job by Attorney Ryan Mcfarland Esq.

Congratulations to A.S. on your Offer In Compromise getting accepted! $68,988.00 in IRS debt was reduced to a one time payment of $200. From submission until approval it took 8 months. We held off a summons and a really aggressive Revenue Officer. Great job Britney Turner E.A. on delivering this fantastic result for our client.

Congratulation to J.T on your Offer In Compromise getting accepted by the IRS. We are still working on the state liability but we hope for excellent results. We were able to settle $74,347.87 for a one time payment of $200. Kudos to our excellent attorney Greg Ibbetson Esq. for working this case to exhaustion. The original offer was rejected and we had to resubmit.

Another common theme that I see a lot of is that people who gamble often have winnings and losses. Winnings automatically get reported to the IRS from Casinos. Losses don’t. The IRS has this automated underreporting system that will find the winnings, but no system for finding the losses.... This creates a very common automated underreporting notification as the taxpayer will deduct his gambling losses but the IRS wont accept that. Sometimes the gambling losses can exceed the winnings and that does not create a lossin the eyes of the IRS. The only real way to deal with this is to get a statement from the casino with the details of the losses. If someone went to multiple casinos then there would need to be some legwork. It is usually worth it because often when the IRS does an audit they will make broader requests than just the gambling supporting documentation, they will often ask for a P&L and for supporting information on other deductions taken. This can open up the taxpayer to a broader scope of inquiry. As always it is important to not do this on your own. Getting representation positions you a lot better to make arguments that won’t expose you unnecessarily.
