As you hopefully expect, IRS
Collection Defense is more than just Settlements and Offers and
Compromise. Wyman Law Firm help you work through the maze of
option and pick the best remedy that can be sustained against
challenges made by the IRS. Here is a list of several possible
remedies that may be used for such relief:
Installment Agreements (Partial Payment)
Installment Agreements are often
overlooked and undervalued by taxpayers who owe the IRS. In
many cases, installment agreements can lead to better results than
the famed "Offer in Compromise" (or "$.10 on the Dollar," as
seen on TV). Wyman Law Firm will determine whether such is the
case for you, looking at options with installment agreements to
avoid liens, and have your expenses that exceed IRS standards
allowed as conditional expenses. Wyman Law Firm will also seek
to negotiate payment terms that will result your paying less than
the full amount of tax due.
Currently Not Collectible
Status
For those who
do not have the resources to pay their taxes, Currently Not
Collectible standard is an excellent way to avoid having to pay your
taxes, and the deferral is generally one year or more.
IRS Bank and Wage
Levies (Garnishments)
Using a combination of the remedies listed herein, Wyman Law Firm
can help you find the best and quickest route to having IRS Bank and
Wage Levies (Garnishments) removed.
IRS Notice of
Federal Tax Lien (NFTL)
IRS Liens are public records that can cause embarrassments,
financial hardship, and credit issues. Reasonably, most people
want them remove as quickly as possible. With several of the
remedies listed herein, Wyman Law Firm can quickly and painlessly
remove an IRS Lien. Unfortunately, with complicated tax
matters, having an IRS lien removed takes tenacity, knowledge, and
ingenuity to have an IRS Lien removed. The attorneys at Wyman
Law Firm have such skills and would be happy to work with you to
have such a lien removed.
Collection Due Process Hearings (and Appeals)
Many IRS remedies have the ability to
have low level decisions reconsidered by IRS Appeals Officers.
To obtain the best results, filing the Hearing Request, Protest, or
Appeal is the best way to seek optimum results.
Penalty Abatement
The penalties the IRS assesses can be
expensive. Combined, they can often be be fifty percent (50%)
or more of the tax assessed. The common penalties include
Estimated Tax Penalty, Failure to File Penalty, Failure to Pay
Penalty, Accuracy Related Penalty (Negligence), and the Trust Fund
Recovery Penalty. During the course of representation, the
Wyman Law Firm makes a point to see reduction of penalties, and,
under the right circumstances makes additional filings to have these
penalties abated.
Bankruptcy Planning For Tax Matters
When
you are forced to file Bankruptcy, it is generally your last resort.
It is imperative that your plan ahead, so you can discharge as many
taxes as possible. Unfortunately, not all types of federal
taxes (IRS) can be discharged, and, even if a type of tax is
dischargeable, there are several waiting periods you must meet to
maximize the amount of taxes discharged. With property
planning, combined with the use of some of the above techniques,
Attorney Wyman can help you maximize the amount of taxes discharged
in bankruptcy, leaving you with little to no balance after discharge is
granted.
