Overview of resolving your tax problems

What if your tax problem is under $10,000. Should you solve it?

If you are suffering or about to suffer a significant hardship as a result of the administration of tax laws, contacting the Taxpayer Advocate Service may help. The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS, headed by the National Taxpayer Advocate. The Taxpayer Advocate Service (But note local IRS Tax Assistance Centers are being closed). Call toll-free at (877) 777-4778 to find an IRS Tax Assistant Center near you. The Taxpayer Advocate Service also is not able to help with state taxation issues. Please note that the Taxpayer Advocate Service is not a substitute for established IRS procedures or the formal Appeals process. The Taxpayer Advocate Service cannot reverse legal or technical tax determinations.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service can help you:

    * File innocent spouse claims if you believe you are not liable for your spouse's share of a joint tax liability;
    * Make an installment agreement if you cannot pay your taxes in full;
    * Prepare an offer in compromise (OIC) Form 656 [see caveat] to settle an unpaid tax debt;
    * Request a release of federal tax liens and levies when appropriate; and
    * Resolve IRS account and notice issues.

Caveat: these forms are complex and you will pay more by not hiring us as a consultant.
