Wages Garnished? How Do You Explain That to the Boss?

 

The Government Didn't Ask You How Much You Could Afford Before They Just Took What They Wanted!!

How secure is your job? How will your boss look at the IRS form requiring her to go to extra trouble to change your paycheck settings? Will the company see you as having a flawed character due to your being so far behind with your taxes?  What should you do?!?!

First Step:  Don't let it get this far in the first place.  You've had plenty of warnings from the tax man that he was coming to get you.  Ignoring those warnings never made any of them disappear.  In fact, it just make the bulldog madder and madder.  If you are already getting letters or phone calls from the IRS, State, or other tax agency, call today for a consultation. 1-888-987-1040.

Second Step:  If the garnishment has already taken place, call us immediately. 1-888-987-1040. We may be able to strike a deal with the IRS.  We have done so many times in the past.  We might even be able to get them to stop ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS for a year or longer.  Wouldn't it be nice to go back to the boss with an all clear letter?

Third Step:  Relax!  Once we are on your team, we are going to do everything possible to help you get through this and on with the rest of your life.  You will no longer have to deal with the IRS or worry about what you will say or do with them.  We will negotiate with them, and we know every rule and method better than most IRS agents do.  In fact, both Jim Demetriou EA and Mike Montano EA, were IRS agents prior to switching sides and helping taxpayers like you survive the collection efforts of the toughest collectors in the business. 

If you owe less than $15,000, we will provide you with some self help suggestions on this blog.  You should be able to handle things yourself.  But if you owe $20,000 or more, the IRS has you in their cross hairs.  You will need a trained and experienced negotiator to help you get out in front of the IRS and stay out in front.  We have been providing those kinds of services for over 25 years and we have many happy clients who took the three steps and can now relax!

What Do You Do When the IRS Tax Notice Arrives in the Mail?

 

  IRS Tax Debt Got You by the Throat?

You feel as if the walls are closing in around you.  The IRS has finally contacted you.  It was only a matter of time, but you held out hope they would just lose your file.  You have the first letter, asking you to call them, but you can't even imagine what to say.  So you put the letter aside.  Maybe you'll win the lottery before they send the next letter.

Sadly, you probably won't win the lottery.  Your ship won't come in.  No relative is going to come to the rescue.  Now what?

If you owe under $15,000, and if you are able to keep your new taxes current, the best option is probably to go ahead and make the phone call.  Your goal is to get a five year payment plan, which even if $15,000 is just $250 a month or so counting interest and penalties.  Be sure you can make those payments before you set the deal.

If you are out of work or have extremely limited funds, you may be able to get the IRS to hold off any collection effort for up to a year.  For cases under $15,000, you might even find the agent to be somewhat friendly and helpful.

If you owe more than $15,000, the same rules apply, but the enforcement is much more rigorous.  As you can imagine, IRS collection agents are judged by how much revenue they bring in.  If you owe $25,000 or $100,000 or even more, the revenuer is going to be like any other human.  He will see a big fish in his pond, and want that trophy to show his boss.

In those cases, DO NOT call the agent yourself.  You need an experienced and highly qualified IRS negotiation team to pinch hit for you.  IRS Enrolled Agents, like Jim Demetriou EA and Mike Montano EA, are just what you need to set up an affordable, workable deal that will give you breathing room, not just create more stress.  The last thing you need right now, given the issues facing you, is more stress.

You see, IRS agents are also human when it comes to dealing with Enrolled Agents.  The IRS agent knows that they are dealing with someone who knows the system as well as they do.  The playing field is now level, and your representative can carve out a program for you that makes sense.  That might mean all collection efforts and repayments stop for several months or longer.  It may mean establishing a payment plan immediately.  It could even mean starting a process of reducing the principle amount owed.  Jim and Mike have seen many cases just like yours, and will be able to guide you to the best possible route for a resolution of your tax problem.

Whether you are at the beginning of this process, and have merely received a threatening letter or two, or even if you have had levies or liens placed against your assets, now is the time to call.  Don't wait another minute to have a no obligation consultation that will get your situation moving towards a solution.  Call 888-987-1040
