Deal With The IRS: Help From A Consumer Advocate

By Odessa Rado

I found myself in a bad situation several years ago. My accounting records for my business were a mess, and instead of trying to fix the problem, I chose instead to try and ignore it. Unfortunately, my ignoring the issue just made a bad situation worse. Last year, the IRS contacted me, and let me know that they had opened a file against me and my business. I was absolutely terrified.

Would my income be garnished? Would I be forced to lay-off employees? Would the IRS put a lien on my property? How could I pay the owed taxes and keep my business? So many questions plagued me, and the stress ate me alive. I began to suffer from stress headaches and nausea, all caused by the intense anxiety I felt.

Most of my stress came from my ignorance. I had no clue how to work with the IRS, and I was incredibly afraid of how to represent myself well. While I understood I had made mistakes, I didn't want to suffer unnecessarily because of them. All I wanted was to right my wrong.

I paid a visit to my family attorney, and I told him all about what had happened. I asked if he could help me deal with the IRS, or if he knew of an attorney with experience in this area. Unfortunately, my attorney told me he couldn't help in this area. I began to get really upset, and he assured me that he knew of the perfect advocate. It was then that my attorney introduced me to the services provided by Preferred Tax Relief.

Preferred Tax Relief is a consumer advocate when we are forced to deal with the IRS. With an experienced staff in this area, they have considerable knowledge regarding tax law and legal penalties that the IRS could impose. After my first consultative visit, I was immediately filled with a sense that everything was going to be okay. The Preferred Tax Relief Counselor gave me the necessary information to prepare me for my case with the IRS, but most importantly, she explained what the IRS could and couldn't do in terms of penalties.

Through Preferred Tax Relief's help, I was able to settle with the IRS. While I did have a penalty levied against me, it was much less stringent than I had initially expected. I know I couldn't have represented myself as well as Preferred Tax Relief. Their knowledge and experience was easily evident. - 29969
