When he came to Direct Tax Relief, James* was in IRS debt to the tune of over $118,000 in back taxes, fees, and penalties. DTR immediately filed a settlement offer on James’ behalf. The IRS took nearly six months to assign an Offer Examiner to the case, and, despite repeated contact with DTR, the offer was rejected. Luckily, that didn’t stop them from continuing to pursue a tax resolution.
After the rejection, Direct Tax Relief filed an immediate request with the National Taxpayer Advocate’s office to reopen the unwarranted dismissed case. For nine months, Direct Tax Relief persistently worked with three separate advocates until the IRS finally agreed to re-examine the initial Offer in Compromise. After careful review, a newly assigned Offer Examiner approved the initial debt settlement proposal! In the end, James was able to settle his IRS debt for roughly $200.
That’s right—from $118,000 down to $200 via an IRS Offer in Compromise. That is cause for celebration!
Even when things didn’t look good, Direct Tax Relief never stopped pursuing (and yes, pestering) the IRS for the debt relief it knew James deserved. And, in the end, it was all worth it.
