While filing taxes is mandatory for all US citizens who are earning an income, there are many people who, through no fault of their own, cannot afford to pay their taxes. The reason for this may be the loss of a job, becoming disabled, being fined for tax return preparation problems, squandering everything into a gambling addiction, or a host of other reasons. Irrespective of the cause, the non-payment of taxes can lead the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) to inquire into your tax status and even penalize you if you fail to make timely payments.

Whether you are due a refund or writing a big fat check to the IRS, there are some steps you should take after your return has been filed. In this article, we discuss three critical steps to take once the tax filing deadline has come and gone.

 

Most taxpayers dread the tedious task of compiling their financial records, tax documents and filing their taxes. Unfortunately, the longer you procrastinate doing your taxes, the greater the chances that something will go wrong.  And if you owe money to the IRS, the more penalties and interest you will have to pay. Often, it is a better idea to file your taxes sooner rather than later.

Whether it is a global pandemic shutting the economy down for months on end, a stock market crash that leaves formerly giddy investors frightened and nervous, or a housing crisis that makes real estate a risky bet, living through tough economic times is never easy.

In this article, we walk you through IRS installment agreements and what to do if you can’t afford to pay your back taxes.  Though paying your taxes through an installment agreement is just one of many tax relief options, you likely have other options and might be able to settle with the IRS or lower your amount owed.  We encourage you to reach out to our firm for a tax relief consultation to determine your options.

With the coronavirus affecting taxpayers income and asset values dropping, it creates a favorable case for an Offer in Compromise. It’s important to structure it properly in order to have a good chance of settling for less than you owe. A qualified tax resolution firm like ours can help.

An experienced tax resolution specialist will have thorough knowledge of all the IRS programs, including the offer in compromise option.  Call us today for help.  (405) 721-8558.
