Can I negotiate with the IRS myself?

You can negotiate with the IRS yourself. However, it’s important to know that an experienced tax resolution attorney can help you in many ways, the first of which is that the attorney knows the local revenue officers and local revenue agents, and has built working relations with them over the years. Additionally, an experienced tax resolution attorney knows the amounts that the IRS will allow for certain things, and can help you get the best settlement possible.
