IRS contacts taxpayers different ways:
So what is your next step?
First of all, do not panic. IRS is just trying to resolve and open issue. Most IRS letters come with a time frame of ten to thirty days to respond. You should respond within the time period specified or IRS will follow up and eventually use enforcement action. If you do not respond to IRS attempts to reach you they will hit you with a federal tax lien, IRS tax levy on wages or a garnishment of your bank account. Contact Fresh Start Tax and our professionals will handle the IRS for you and resolve your problem.
Contact by certified mail
When IRS contacts you by certified mail it is time to be very serious about the next step. IRS has tried to contact you before to resolve the issue and has been unsuccessful. Certified letters from the IRS usually means they are ready to take enforcement action. Unless you reach them with the prescribed period of time IRS will probably levy your wages or bank and file a Federal tax lien. It is time to call your Fresh Start Tax Professional. In most cases, within a thirty day period of time, IRS will send a wage levy to your employer, and or a bank levy to garnish your bank accounts. Whether you sign for the IRS certified mail or not, the 30 day period starts on the date of the IRS letter. Before you make any contact with IRS you want to know your rights so you don't make the situation worse than it already is. This requires a plan of action, contact Fresh Start Tax on this as fast as possible and we will contact IRS immediately to stop any collection activity.
Contact by notice of federal tax levy or a federal tax lien
Many people are unaware that IRS has sent notices and trying to contact them over a period of time. The first time they become aware of this process is when a federal tax lien or a federal tax levy has hit there bank account or their employer has received a wage levy. When you are at this step in the process it is time to retain professional council to resolve your case. You should not contact IRS by yourself because IRS will use any information to try and collect money.
Contact by regular mail
When IRS contacts you by regular mail they are usually trying to advise of an issue and would like to have it resolved. It is best to respond to IRS, advising them whether or not you agree with what they say in the letter. If you agree and can pay the back taxes with interest and penalties assessed than should as soon as possible. If you agree and cannot pay the back taxes with interest and penalties call Fresh Start Tax and we can negotiate with the IRS on you behalf to resolve this matter. If you disagree, be prepared to send IRS the proper documentation to support your case. Fresh Start Tax can also help you settle a dispute with IRS if you believe you are correct.
Contact by telephone
Contact by telephone sounds scary but these can be the easiest issues to resolve. Unless this is a complicated issue you can usually take care of this process by yourself. However, if you owe back taxes, be careful when speaking with the IRS. Remember, IRS is the most powerful collection agency in the world.
If the call relates to back taxes owed from income tax or payroll tax contact your Fresh Start Tax Professional to handle this type of problem.
