Help With Unfiled Taxes & IRS Wage Garnishments

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. The IRS sends an Intent to Levy Notice. When the Intent to Levy is due to unfiled tax return(s) - I simply contact the IRS on the taxpayer's behalf and obtain the necessary information to prepare a correct tax return. I provide the IRS with a date in which the return will be filed by the tax payer, and based upon the IRS's decision, the collection process can be immediately delayed. The taxpayer must either fax or scan a Form 8821 to me, which gives me to contact and receive information from the IRS.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

The IRS allows taxpayers to pay online or to send a check or money order when using an Installment Agreement.

A. They should know for which years they need to file taxes for. They also should have a best guest estimate for any expenses for that year.
