Two Ways You Should NEVER Deal with IRS Problems
Two Ways You Should NEVER Deal with IRS Problems
If you had cancer, who would you want to see first?
a) Nobody. I’ll go it alone.
b) a Nurse
c) a Doctor
d) an Oncologist
An Oncologist, right? Why? Because an Oncologist is a physician that specializes in the treatment of cancer. Along that same line of thinking, if you had a problem with the IRS, would you go it alone? Don’t believe for a second that reading a couple books, a website or a couple emails about “how to deal with the IRS” will prepare you to deal with the IRS if you owe them money.
The IRS has employees who make a career out of extracting money from people who owe taxes. They deal with it every day. They’re good at it. This is something you deal with once in a lifetime (hopefully). Face it – you’re not good at it.
These people are trained to act like your friend and make you comfortable…and then use it to get you to say something you’ll regret.
You wouldn’t “go it alone” with a deadly disease – don’t go it alone with the IRS.
What about an accountant?
Most accountants spend 3 months out of the year dealing with taxes. They spend the rest of the time balancing books and preparing financial statements.
Just like having a good nurse can be a huge help to a cancer patient, a good accountant is a fantastic resource while you are still “in the clear” with the IRS. They can give you great advice on how to set up your personal finances and/or business finances to take advantage of legal tax breaks. But even the best nurse doesn’t have the power to prescribe the powerful medicines that are needed by a cancer patient – that right belongs to the Oncologist.
Once you’re on the other side of the IRS and no longer “in the clear” (in other words you failed to file or failed to pay), your accountant is not in a good position to help you fight the mighty power of the IRS. That alone is the job of a tax attorney specifically trained in dealing with IRS problems.
If you are “no longer in the clear” with the IRS, please call tax attorney Mary E. King to discuss your options.
