With 2023 around the corner, we’re excited to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of Direct Tax Relief. Our Tax Resolution Specialists have solved thousands of cases and resolved tens of millions of dollars in tax debt.
On August 16, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. This comprehensive bill targets making health care and prescription drugs more affordable, fighting climate change, taxing wealthy corporations, and more funding for the IRS. Although the President has signed this bill, some savings in the bill won’t kick in right away. For example, efforts to lower drug prices, including caps on their costs for seniors, won’t take effect until 2025.
Beginning January 1, 2022, third party settlement organizations have a requirement to issue a Form 1099-K to payees who have business transactions of more than $600 in a calendar year. (The previous threshold was either 200 transactions or $20,000 in payments in a calendar year, but the law was updated per The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.)
Many taxpayers who owe back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will receive a notice of tax due and attempt to resolve the issue themselves. If you owe an amount less than $10,000 this makes sense. However, when the liability exceeds $10,000, it's always a good idea to seek professional representation.
Our clients hire us for representation during different moments of their tax resolution cases. Some taxpayers have all their tax returns filed, but have tried for years to work out a resolution with the IRS without any success. Some find us here at Direct Tax Relief when they have several years of unfiled tax returns they need prepared. And there are those who went through an audit and then realized how serious the consequences are of not having professional representation and hired our firm to help after the fact.
If you have ever had a tax bill you couldn’t afford to pay, don’t be swayed by false ads promising “total IRS debt forgiveness.” In most cases, complete forgiveness of tax liability — except in the case of bankruptcy — is unlikely. But don’t think that you’re out of options just yet.
Tax debt can be scary. Nobody wants to owe the IRS money, but sometimes it happens. And if it does happen, you don’t have to face the IRS alone. Founded in 2008 by seasoned tax professionals with wide experience and top credentials, our expert tax professionals are dedicated to helping individuals and small businesses who owe more than $10,000 in back taxes.
. The IRS wants to collect its tax debt. And if you owe a large sum, they especially want to bring that money in. Sure, they aren’t paid on commission, but this is their job, and, probably like all of us, they are held to certain marks and standards.
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.
Small businesses are weighed down with a bevy of taxes (and soon they will face changing overtime policies, too). For every employee, businesses have payroll taxes that are paid throughout the year (rather than just on April 15). But what happens if you get behind and can’t pay?
