How do I get the process started? The most important thing you need to do first is pick up the phone and give one of our tax specialists a call. Time is of the essence. We need to find out the details of your situation so that we can prepare negotiations for you.

When can I expect results? The sooner you provide the correct documentation, the sooner we can begin negotiations. After we receive a complete package, it can take anywhere from 30 days to 180 days to reach an agreement. It may take longer depending on the severity of your situation.
Can the IRS garnish my wages without giving me prior notice? Before the IRS can garnish your wages, the law requires them to send you a letter called a Final Notice. After this letter is sent, the IRS needs to wait approximately 45 days before taking any further action. The IRS only needs to send the final notice once. They do not need to send the notice every time they want to garnish your wages or take other collection action. Some taxpayers never receive the Final Notice because the IRS sent it to an old address or the last address they had on record. Unfortunately, this is completely legal.
Can the IRS hold me personally responsible for uppaid payroll taxes? Yes. Failing to properly file and pay payroll taxes is a serious matter. If an employer fails to timely file and pay payroll taxes, the IRS is authorized to collect these taxes from the business or even a person who was responsible for withholding and paying these payroll taxes to the IRS. In situations where a corporation incurs a payroll tax liability, and the IRS is unable to collect the taxes from the entity itself, the IRS may seek to collect the payroll taxes from individuals within the corporation. Generally, the IRS considers anyone who has the authority to sign checks or the authority to operate the business on a day-to-day basis as someone who would have control over the business sufficient to assess a TFRP. Therefore, owners, officers, executives and payroll personnel may be considered responsible parties.
How long does the IRS have to collect back taxes from me? The IRS generally has 10 years to collect back taxes. The Statute of Limitations on Collections is the amount of time that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has to collect a tax liability. Depending on your situation, the assessment of tax may be the date you filed the tax return, or the date that the IRS filed the tax return for you. Although the IRS generally has just 10 years to collect on an outstanding tax liability, there are certain events or transactions that may extend or suspend the statute from expiring. For example, if you file bankruptcy or file an Offer in Compromise, the statute of limitations is generally suspended during the time the bankruptcy or Offer in Compromise is under review.
