Finding the appropriate method
or professional help is important
when it comes to resolving back
taxes. Back taxes should be resolved
as quickly as possible to prevent
any future penalties, interest,
tax liens and tax levies. As more
time goes on, IRS actions become
harsher with each passing week.
Luckily, today there are many options
out there to resolve your tax debts,
even for those who have no means
of paying at all. Depending on your
unique financial situation and tax
problem will determine what method
is best for you. Below are three
steps you should take when you owe
back taxes.
- Check your return that you
filed and make sure you didn't
make any mistakes and miss any
deductions. If you did make
a mistake and missed a large
deduction you can submit an
amended tax return and then
receive your new tax amount
owed. If you don't have any
missed deductions or you did
have missed deductions and you
still cannot pay the taxes owed
move on to number two.
- See if you can settle the
tax debt on your own. Typically
it is fairly easy to setup an
arrangement with the IRS if
you owe less than $10,000. The
agreement the IRS will want
you to set up is an installment
agreement. With this type of
agreement you pay back the taxes
owed over a specified period
in the form of monthly payments.
There are other forms of settlements
available from the IRS, but
they are much more difficult
to obtain and it is highly suggested
that you use a tax professional
when trying to do those kinds
of filings. If you owe more
than $10,000 or you still cannot
afford to make the payments
with an installment agreement
then move on to number 3.
- When you over $10,000 in
tax debt, it is highly advisable
that you hire a tax professional
to help with your tax problem.
There are three types of tax
professionals, CPA, Tax Attorney,
and an enrolled agent. All of
these professionals do similar
work, but some may be better
for different types of situations.
When hiring a tax professional
you should always talk to more
than one. The majority of companies
will offer a free consultation.
They will give you your likely
outcome and a price estimate
for their work.
When it comes to dealing with
IRS back taxes, you will want to
resolve them as quickly as possible.
Everyone has heard the horror stories
of people losing homes, losing assets,
getting wages garnished etc. The
IRS has more powerful collection
mechanisms than any other collection
agency in the United States. The
good news is that they do give you
fair notice and they are willing
to work with you. Ignoring the IRS
can be a very bad mistake, so resolve
back taxes as soon as you can.
