Few taxpayers or businesses when contacted by Internal Revenue Service and/or the Pennsylvania taxing authority are able to pay in one lump sum the full amount of past due taxes. If bankruptcy and/or offer in compromise is not an option for a taxpayer and/or business, the taxing authorities will take the necessary steps to collect back taxes as quickly as possible. The mistake taxpayers and/or businesses make is to attempt to pay the back taxes without keeping current with their current taxes (whether it is individual estimated payments or timely tax deposits for their payroll taxes). If handled properly, a payment plan can be negotiated which keeps the taxpayer and/or business current on their taxes and also addresses payments toward the back taxes.
Should you be unhappy with or unable to continue with your current payment plan and/or be unable to negotiate an acceptable payment plan with the Internal Revenue Service and/or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and want a free consultation, e-mail me at helptax@consolidated.net or contact me at (412) 926-0791 or (724)612-2993
