Problems With The IRS

The next few blogs will be focused on those of you with tax debt. If you owe the IRS, you may be unsure what your rights are and how to proceed. Your best bet may be to hire someone to represent you. An Enrolled Agent can do so and Effectur is a company that has several Enrolled Agents who can talk to the IRS on your behalf.

Navigating the rough waters of the IRS can best be done by someone familiar with their processes and procedures. If however, you cannot afford assistance or just want to try it yourself first, the next few blogs will give you some helpful hints as well as let you know when handling your tax issues yourself, may not be the best option.

Remember no matter how friendly or helpful the IRS rep you talk to may seem on the phone, their job is to get you to full pay the money you owe and as quickly as possible. Many of them are helpful and are very reasonable to deal with. Some of them however will try to make you feel bad, that you have no options and will push you into resolutions you cannot afford. Also keep in mind what you feel you can afford and what the IRS feels you can afford may be poles apart! Read tomorrow’s blog for more details.
