LAW OFFICE OF MARY E. KING, P.L.

There are many reasons taxpayers do not file and/or pay their taxes. The important thing to remember is that filing your delinquent Federal Income Tax returns is the first step to solving your IRS Tax Problem!

Many times a taxpayer may owe much more federal back taxes than they can pay. The first step in resolving this problem is to contact experienced tax attorney Mary E. King. Attorney Mary King will determine the best solution for your individual case.

IRS tax help can be achieved by several methods including but not limited to:

• Offer in Compromise
• Penalty Abatement
• Innocent Spouse Relief
• Currently not collectible status
• Installment agreement
• Statute of Limitations
• Bankruptcy

As a taxpayer not familiar with the ins and outs of federal tax laws you should not attempt to negotiate directly with the IRS. It is essential you retain the services of a qualified tax attorney such as tax attorney Mary E. King to negotiate on your behalf. Mary has successfully negotiated for her clients which means her clients have not needed to directly communicate with the IRS.

Yes. The IRS can take money from your bank account, IRA’s and cash value of your life insurance policy. The IRS refers to the action of taking money from a taxpayers bank account as a levy. Not only banks but credit unions, trust companies, and labor credit unions all must comply with an IRS levy.

A tax levy is the worst case for any taxpayer and many times may be able to be avoided by contacting tax attorney Mary King before it is too late. Procrastinating with the IRS is the worst mistake. Don’t wait, contact the Law Office of Mary King P.L. and find out your options.

In some cases the IRS will reduce or eliminate a taxpayer’s penalties on their debt, through a process called penalty abatement.

The taxpayer must be able to prove “reasonable cause” before the IRS will agree to a penalty abatement. Reasonable cause means regardless of the taxpayer’s “exercise of ordinary care and prudence,” he or she is unable to file his tax return or pay his taxes on a timely basis. Usually the success of penalty abatement depends on the taxpayer’s past history of filing their tax returns and paying their taxes.

The federal tax laws are very complex and only an experienced tax attorney can successfully build a case for penalty abatement.

A tax attorney can help individuals and businesses resolve IRS tax problems, address tax debt, respond to audits, handle liens or levies, and plan effective tax strategies.
