Collection Due Process Hearing

A FEMALE WITH A MOUNTING  IRS TAX BILL

The creator of a blog submission I located described her Internal Revenue Service predicament.  She protested that she owed the Internal Revenue Service almost 25,000 dollars and that with interest and penalties there seemed to be no chance of getting the bill down.

THE IRS IS FORBIDDEN TOO TAX OUR RIGHTS
This gal should consider that we have a right to live and the government can’t tax constitutional rights; or our very right to be present. Most individuals don’t know this though, including the IRS agents.

THE PAYMENT PLAN BIT THE DUST

This blog writer noted that at the outset they tried to make monthly payments and that when that when they were unable to continue making them the IRS levied their paycheck leaving them with just $400 dollars a month to survive on. This woman wound up going to a firm called Harris Graves strongly suggesting that they could get the IRS levy released. She paid them several thousand dollars, and wound up getting no results whatsoever.

THERE IS A STATUTORY WAY TO DELAY IRS LEVIES

This could have never happened if this taxpayer had known about  how to get an Internal Revenue levy released using the study package I call the IRS Terminator package developed around 26 U.S.C. § 6330. Had she known about it she could have read up on how to  request and win a Collection Due Process Hearing, implemented what she learned, and all tax collection action would have come to a halt; including the levy on their wages.

TAX PRO’S LIKE JK HARRIS OR TAXMASTERS MAY POSSIBLY SOUND HANDY IN THEIR TELEVISION ADS, HOWEVER…

Whenever people today are on the verge of getting an INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE levy applied to his or her bank account or paycheck don’t understand about the procedures of 26 U.S.C. § 6330 to stop an IRS wage garnishment there is a strong temptation to search for help via television promoters like JK Harris, TaxMasters, or the one the aforementioned blog poster went to professing to help people stop an IRS wage levy. Any time a person feel a temptation like this coming on…STOP…and examine reports just like a recent one in startribune.com. The StarTribune.com article reports that the Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson is suing the “TaxMasters” and accusing the Texas Company of creating new problems for tax debtors in problems with the IRS in Minnesota. The suit alleges that TaxMasters usually takes significant fees and then does not deliver on their assurances. In its December 16, 2010 article the Star Tribune reports that the lawsuit filed by the attorney general alleged that television and radio commercials employed by the organization were deceptive. The suit also takes issue with TaxMasters requiring up to $8,000 in upfront fees. TaxMasters is also coping with a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas on similar issues. The Star Tribune write-up also states that Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson has also gone after the IRS tax debt relief industry in 2008. Her office joined a multistate suit against one of the nation’s most significant tax relief firms, JK Harris & Co. That suit resulted in JK Harris stipulating to end the promotion making the “pennies on the dollar” tax negotiation claims.

DO ESTABLISHMENTS SIMILAR TO JK HARRIS AND TAXMASTERS WORK WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AHEAD OF YOU?

Here is a little something I know about establishments similar to JK Harris and Taxmasters that many people today usually do not. In Houston, Texas on July 12, 2005, Steven T. Miller, Commissioner TE/GE made a talk to INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE Tax Forums expressing this:

“I want to salute our partners who have been such a big help at these forums. I want to thank, in alphabetical order, the American Bar Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the National Association of Enrolled Agents, the National Association of Tax Professionals, the National Society of Accountants, and the National Society of Tax Professionals.”Mr. Miller informed the CPAs and other tax professionals in attendance that he wanted to be of assistance to them  and that the help he was promising would take the form of continuing to develop the IRS’s electronic and information services, modernizing the Service’s computers, and vigorously enforcing the law against the unscrupulous few who threaten the integrity of their/our business. This makes it look like clear confirmation that organizations like JK Harris, Taxmasters and Harris Graves are really the IRS’s collaborators in collecting taxes. Maybe this is why no effective steps were is to abate people’s IRS problems. I would believe people who elect to deal with these types of firms, to be a victim twice over, once to the IRS  and once to the firm that fails to perform its promises, and it appears that the attorney generals of numerous states are agreeing with me. Distressing stories such as this are why folks in a position of having overdue taxes or unfiled returns should prepare by studying in advance how deal with an IRS notice of levy.
