And Personal Assets Are Not Always Shielded From IRS Payment.

Memphis, TN, January 14, 2011 — Tax Solutions, ( http://www.taxsolutioninc.com ) the first and oldest Tax Resolution Services Firm in the US, wants corporations, limited liability companies and occasionally limited partnerships to understand the seriousness of unpaid federal payroll tax and how to deal correctly with this back tax problem. The simple solution is to pay them accurately and on time. But when a business doesn’t stay current on their Payroll Tax or employment taxes, the IRS will not allow them to continue to operate and, in addition, they become subject to penalties. The Payroll/employment/941 Tax owed by one of these entities is comprised of Trust Fund Tax and Non-Trust Fund Tax. The Trust Fund Tax consists of the income tax and fica/mc withheld from the employees of the business. The Non-Trust Fund Tax is the employer’s portion of the fica/mc. Joe Hill, President of Tax Solutions, who has been a well known expert in the field of taxation for the last 27 years said, “This is when a business really needs tax help. The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) ( http://www.taxsolutionsinc.com/trust-fund-recovery-penalties.php ) is probably the least understood tool in the IRS’ arsenal of weapons to collect taxes from businesses and is also one of the most devastating to the individuals involved with the business.

Being a field collection officer assigned to the IRS Collection Division in a past life, Hill’s job was to meet with delinquent taxpayers on a face-to-face basis and collect tax for the IRS. The main reason for forming a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership is to shield the personal assets of the owners, stockholders and officers. Hill continued, “When it comes to Payroll Taxes, personal assets are not always shielded. Even if an owner operates his business as a sole proprietorship or general partnership and fails to pay his Payroll Tax, the business assets as well as the owner’s personal assets are subject to the IRS Lien. The IRS can seize and sell all business and personal assets of the business and owner to collect the total tax, penalties and interest owed.”

During his years with the IRS, Hill met with many CPAs and Attorneys who represented taxpayers who owed the IRS. Hill continued, “In the vast majority of these cases, the taxpayer’s representative had no idea how to effectively represent and protect their clients. Although the CPA or Attorney may have been excellent in their field, accounting, tax return preparation or income tax law, they had absolutely no idea how to protect their clients when dealing with the IRS Collection Division.”

“If you are contacted by a Revenue Officer, either by telephone or personal contact, you should immediately tell the Revenue Officer (in a courteous and respectful way) that you do not wish to discuss your case with them and that you wish to seek representation on this matter” said Hill. “Do not let the following scenario happen to you. Any information you provide to the IRS, may be used against you.”

The Revenue Officer interviewing you will be investigating who the IRS will consider to be the “responsible person” or persons individually liable for the TFRP. He will make his recommendation based on this interview. Hill added “First of all, you should not personally participate in this interview with the IRS. Our clients are interviewed by our Associates, not by the IRS. In most cases, the answers you give the IRS to these questions will not be interpreted or written on the form in the same manner you gave them to the Agent. This does not work in your best interest. We can provide a complete defense to the TFRP for our clients. We will honestly tell you what we think your chances are for non-assertion of this penalty against you. If in our opinion, you will be declared a responsible person, we can also assist you in planning for the eventual assessment against you.”

A field visit to a business owing Payroll Tax by an IRS Revenue Officer is a harrowing experience. The Revenue Officer will not schedule an appointment at your office. They will not call ahead to let you know they are coming to your office. They will show up, unannounced, for a face-to-face meeting with you. They will first demand full payment for all the tax, penalties and interest you owe. If you cannot pay in full, they will demand that you pay them all that is in the business bank account and give you a date for payment of the balance. They will also require a complete financial statement on your company including your bank accounts, equipment, real estate and account receivables. All sources for them to Levy at their discretion. After finishing the financial statement on the company, the Revenue Officer will conduct a TFRP interview with you as well as any other individuals potentially responsible for the TFRP. In many cases, they will also want a personal financial statement from you. This initial meeting may last two to four hours. Is this an experience to which you wish to be exposed?

Tax Solutions has developed certain strategies and planning techniques that are unique. Early planning may save your business and your personal assets. Hill concluded, “You will not meet with an IRS Agent. However, early contact with us is necessary to answer your payroll tax questions and to prevent the total loss of your business and personal assets.”

In 2009, The IRS Accepted Only 11,000 “Offers In Compromise” Less Than 1% Of The 15 Million Delinquent Taxpayers.

Memphis, TN, December 10, 2010 — Tax SolutionsTM, the first and oldest Tax Resolution Services Firm in the US, wants you to understand how important your choice of a tax representative is in your dealings with the Collection Division of the IRS about an unpaid tax debt. Delinquent taxpayers needing tax help should be aware of Tax Reduction Schemes. According to the BBB, “some (tax services) companies claim they can help consumers reduce the amount of money they owe in taxes or fines to the government. These claims often sound too good to be true and TV ads might include endorsements from customers who state the company worked with the IRS on their behalf and was able to reduce the amount owed to pennies on the dollar. Unfortunately, BBB has heard from consumers who paid thousands of dollars to such companies and were devastated to learn that the company didn’t keep its promise to reduce the amount owed and, in some cases, never even contacted the IRS.”

Unlike most national tax settlement companies advertising that the IRS will accept “Pennies on the Dollar” to resolve tax debt with their help, Tax Solutions does not promise each potential client that they can settle with the IRS. This option is available, but on a very limited basis. However, every taxpayer does have options. Joe Hill, President of Tax Solutions said “In the 27 years we have been in business, we have never made unrealistic claims that could not be delivered, as most of the so-called tax resolutions firms advertise today.”

But why are acceptance rates by the IRS so low on submitted Offers?

Hill added, “Taxpayers who submit their own Offer in Compromise (Tax settlement) or their representatives who submit Offers do not have the knowledge and experience to deal with the issues involved in an Offer. Most representatives deal with issues involving the IRS Collection Division once every few years. Our Associates deal with the IRS Collection Division on a daily basis. Correct procedures for submission, prior planning for the Offer before submission, IRS rules, IRS allowances and deviations from the allowances, state law, federal law and even the IRS employees’ personalities all play an equally important part in a successful Offer in Compromise.”

Hill continued. “We offer free consultations to potential clients. We review the client’s particular situation and then we provide the client with all possible options to deal with their IRS problems. We explain these options to them, while advising them of the consequences of each option, both good and bad, so they will know the truth on their chance of a successful tax resolution. We have, however, saved our clients over $152,000,000 since 1983 and have an Offer in Compromise success rate 91%.”

Tax Solutions is the only Tax Firm in America specializing in full service representation before the IRS Collection Division. Being a field collection officer assigned to the IRS Collection Division in a past life, Hill’s job was to meet with delinquent taxpayers on a face-to-face basis and collect tax for the IRS. And he was very good at his job. Hill worked the cases no one else could close. For many years he led his region in field enforcement actions; enforcement actions that included seizing homes, businesses, autos, equipment, airplanes, boats and any other asset a taxpayer may own.

Hill and his Associates at Tax Solutions are “Enrolled Agents” licensed by the Treasury Department, now on the side of Taxpayers, to represent clients before the IRS in all 50 states. Tax Solutions is also a member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating, the highest rating authorized by the BBB.

Any type of tax owed to the IRS is eligible for compromise. They include personal, corporate or trust income tax, individual or corporate payroll tax, excise tax, estate tax and any type of penalty, including the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, can all be compromised. But no one should go toe-to-toe with the IRS Collection Division owing more than $10,000 without representation by a knowledgeable, experienced and aggressive tax professional who knows the IRS Collection Division techniques and procedures inside and out, to advice them, protect their rights and represent them. This is paramount to any chance of success with an Offer in Compromise or Installment Agreement (Payment plan).
