Learn how to get a leg up on back taxes and delinquent tax returns so that you can avoid severe IRS penalties and financially debilitating levies on your wages and bank accounts – as well as ultimately get a fresh start
With years of record deficits, the governments are more eager than ever to get every dollar of back taxes and IRS penalties from delinquent taxpayers. If you find yourself owing back taxes and IRS penalties, here are the seven little secrets the IRS hopes you never see.
TAX RELIEF SECRET #1
DON’T PAY IRS PENALTIES
The IRS has over 148 different types of penalties they can hit you with. And the worst part is that the IRS can also charge interest and additional penalties on the original penalty
Penalties can be such a high percentage of the total amount owed to the IRS, it usually makes sense to consider requesting the IRS to reduce all penalties to ZERO
IRS penalties can often be reduced to zero if you have REASONABLE CASUSE.
What makes up REASONABLE CAUSE you ask? Well, in negotiations with the IRS, anything may qualify if it’s reasonable
We’ve had the IRS abate penalties for medical reasons, bad accountants, and ignorance of the tax laws, ex-spouses, helping to provide care for a loved one, military call-ups, fires, floods, alcoholism, drug abuse, death, and even for relying on IRS advice.
YOU MAYBE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND THE SAVING COULD BE HUGE!
TAX RELIEF SECRET #2
FILE ALL LEGALLY REQUIRED TAX RETURNS ON TIME
Many people don’t realize that the IRS charges a penalty of up to 25% just for filing your tax return late. That’s right; you will get hit with an additional 25% of what you owe if you if miss the deadline for filing individual tax returns. It’s even worse for payroll tax returns.
What most people don’t know is that you can file ANY tax return on time and AVOID THE 25% penalty even if you don’t send in the money that is owed on the return. We see so many people who could have saved THOUSAND OF DOLLARS on penalties if they just know this one thing. So, in the future no matter what is going on in your life, file all tax returns on time even if you don’t send in the money owed with the return.
Yes, of course, you’ll get an ugly letter from the IRS for not sending in the money owed but, so what; you will have avoided a 25% penalty

TAX RELIEF SECRET #4
OU DON’T HAVE TO TALK TO THE IRS AUDITOR
As a matter of fact, going or talking to the auditor yourself is the worst thing you can do.
The taxpayer Bill of Rights allows you to be represented by a qualified practitioner who can answer questions for you and provide documentation to the IRS. Many taxpayers attempt to handle their own audit or hire the person who prepared the tax return to handle it for them. The reason this usually does not work out is because most tax return prepares do not handle IRS audits on a daily basis.
The IRS can easily intimidate them, which usually results in an unfavorable outcome
TAX RELIEF SECRET #5
YOU CAN BEAT THE ODDS WHEN FACING AN IRS AUDIT
When it comes to tax audits the IRS wins 80% of the time when you are not represented by a qualified practitioner. Taxpayers are deemed guilty till proven innocent, which means the IRS can start an audit by disallowing every deduction you made on a return until each one is proven to be legitimate.
If a taxing authority has decided to audit you, it’s important that you don’t let yourself be pushed around by the IRS. Additionally, if you don’t file your taxes, the IRS may file them for you. This is a bad thing as the IRS files the return in theirs, not your, best interest.
Having representation for audits vastly improves your chances for successful tax resolution. As the proverb states, “he who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.” Treat an IRS audit as seriously as you would a murder trial. Would you do to court without a lawyer?
Then why would you go before the IRS without competent representation?
TAX RELIEF SECRET #6
IRS AUDITS CAN BE RESOLVED SWIFTLY
The best way to end an IRS AUDIT with a great outcome is to end it at the first meeting.
Whenever our firm represents clients in IRS audits, we perform a trial audit in our office before we ever meet with the IRS. This allows us to know which areas need more documentation or answers. When we meet with the IRS (without our client), we can quickly answer the auditor’s questions, provide documents, and get to the bottom line. We always meet the IRS at their office or at ours, but NEVER at the client’s
And if you receive an IRS audit letter in the mail asking you to come in or to call for an appointment- keep in mind Tax Relief Secret #4: You Don’t Have to Talk to the IRS Auditor.
Get representation.
TAX RELIEF SECRET #7
THE IRS CUTS DEALS
The IRS does make deals on taxes owing, including all penalties and interest. The requirements are rigid, but if you qualify the results are incredible. To qualify for a deal with the IRS, I would suggest that if you owe the IRS at least $15,000 and have very little in the way of equity in assets. Also, you must be using your monthly income to pay your necessary living expenses and not have much or only a small amount left over to pay old taxes.
If you meet these requirements then you owe it to yourself to explore the possibilities of getting a reduction of up 85%, including penalties and interest on the original amount owed if you qualify
The IRS cuts these deals to get you back in the system as a current taxpayer and collect a few bucks on the old taxes owing. The fine print in these deals requires you to file tax returns and pay on time for the next 5 years. If you don’t, then the IRS revokes the deal and bills you for the original amount.
