We understand the situation you are in. We deal with many people who are in your exact situation. Unfortunately, unless you do something to resolve your IRS or State, the problem will not go away. In fact, it can and will get worse because the IRS charges you penalties and interest so your balance goes up every day. And if you ignore the letters they send you, they can end up garnishing your paychecks and putting a lien on your assets.

The truth is that if you have the means to do something to resolve your IRS problem, do it sooner than later. The first thing you should do, if you have the means, is to file all of your back taxes. This will help you to stop some of the bleeding and prevent the IRS from filing taxes on your behalf. If the IRS files your taxes, you lose all deductions and credits you would have benefitted from if you did it yourself.

After you file, you are now in a position to get a resolution which includes all the hardship programs that you may qualify for. PPIA, Currently Non Collectible, and Offer in Compromise. Even if it takes you a year to prepare all your back taxes and get a resolution… START. Start now and work on getting a hold of your tax problems once and for all. It’s not a quick fix. Especially if you are having a hard time making ends meet.

We want to tell you the truth and be transparent with you. You may have to sacrifice and lower your living standards and budget for awhile. But there will come a day when all of this is over and you have a handle on your taxes. And you will never have tax problems again. But you have to start somewhere. Start today.
