Talk directly to an IRS Enrolled Agent!
This is not a knock on
salesmen. I am one, and it is an honored profession . . . at least most of
the time. If I need to buy a bike or a house, there is much to be said
for having a professional sales person helping you through the process.
However,
when I am hiring someone for complicated, threatening, and sensitive professional
services, I want to talk to the person who is personally delivering those
services, not a sales person trying to sell me something.
Specifically in the tax resolution
services business there have been many companies that have become quite well
know for TV pitchmen and call center salesmen. When you hear that smooth talker tell how they will talk the IRS into
reducing your tax debt to just “pennies on the dollar,” it is understandable
that the hope sounds worth exploring.
The truth is that just as many of
those companies go out of business as start in business every year. Why, because the hope they are selling is not for every tax
debt and in fact, very few qualify for the “pennies on the dollar” solution.
Moreover those companies took your money
after a sales pitch, and then did very little to help the client, much less
deliver on their pennies on the dollar claim.
Listen to those company names.
Seriously? Research how long the
company has been in business. Then look
for a representative like you would an attorney or accountant. You know, where their name is on the door for
everyone to see.
You see, the IRS does offer
something called the Offer in Compromise, which can potentially allow you to
drastically reduce your outstanding tax debt. However, the process is expensive, can take months or even years to
get an answer, and only a very few taxpayers qualify for that kind of
relief. When you talk directly to Mike Montano, EA or Jim Demetriou, EA,
you are going to get the straight scoop as to whether you have any chance of
qualifying for an Offer in Compromise. They will also be very upfront
with you about the costs and the risks of even applying.
When you are trying to decide who
will help you put together a workable solution for you tax debt issues, go with
a company where you speak to the professional that will get the job done, not
with a salesman who is just in it for the commission.
Do you owe at least $20,000 to the
IRS right now? Pick up the phone and ask for Jim Demetriou or Mike
Montano, and let’s get the ball rolling on a solution that will be perfect for
your unique circumstances. 888-987-1040
