Colorado Springs: How Do I Get Compliant and Resolve IRS Tax Debts?

 

What does it mean to be in tax compliance? How can you resolve your overdue and past tax obligations?  How long has it been since you last filed a tax return?  Did you last file in 1991?  Since you have not file for so long does it mean that you need to file 30 years of tax returns to be compliant?  The simple answer in most cases is "no."  The IRS requires that to be compliant, you must have filed for the last six years.  There are a few exceptions when you have to file farther back, but this does not happen often.

To solve any tax debts, qualify for an installment agreement, or make an Offer in Compromise you must first be compliant by having 6 years of tax returns filed.  For this to be done correctly need to consult with a tax professional such as Marcelino Dodge, EA for a proper analysis.  Once the analysis is complete, then a determination can be made getting the tax returns complete and calculating if you are candidate for an installment agreement or for an Offer in Compromise.

Colorado Springs: Do I Need a Representative to Help With My Tax Matters? Is It Possible to Do It On My Own?

 

It is possible for a taxpayer to attempt to navigate the complicate IRS system by either preparing their own tax return or speaking with the IRS when behind on their taxes.  Keep in mind though the IRS does not always volunteer information on programs that can help taxpayers.  Sometimes tax professionals and tax representatives have to educate IRS employees on the tax statutes.

With a trained tax professional like Marcelino Dodge, EA you will save time and more importantly you likely save money even after paying fees.  Many time penalties can get reduced and if you qualify you may be able to settle your tax debt for less than you owe.  

These are just a few consideration if you feel like you want to manuever the IRS rapids on your own.

Colorado Springs: Has Your Back Tax Debt Expired?

 

Do you owe taxes from several years ago?  Is the IRS still trying to collect from you?  Are you aware that under the Internal Revenue Code Section 6502 there is a 10 year limit on collections?

This 10 year limit starts on the day when the tax is first assessed, not when your tax return was filed.  There are also several actions that can extend the collection period.

What does this mean for you the taxpayer?  If you are still paying on taxes first assessed over 10 years, your tax debt may be gone and no longer collectable.  With a proper calculation of the collection period Marcelino Dodge, EA can determine if you no longer need to make payments.  Oh, what a relief that would be!
