A Guide to Tax Resolution: Solving IRS Problems

Course Description:

Tax resolution is the process of developing and implementing a solution to solve a taxpayer’s IRS problem. This course covers both individuals and businesses. In the truest sense, the optimal resolutions will solve the problem permanently and settle the tax liability for the lowest amount allowed by law.

There are a number of different options the taxpayer has at their disposal to resolve their tax matter with the IRS. However, relatively few taxpayers – and for that matter, practitioners – are aware of the options. And in many cases, the taxpayer is not adequately informed by the IRS of all options, let alone which options best suit the taxpayer’s specific situation. This is in spite of both guidance and dictates from the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, which has oversight for the IRS.

Other related areas which are covered in these materials include: Wage Garnishments, Bank Levies, Freedom of Information Requests, Payroll Tax Problems, IRS Audits, Liens, Collection Appeals, and IRS Appeals. Also included is guidance on how to determine when you need professional help and how to find it.
