The IRS Offer in Compromise is the name of a tax settlement. These sound like a gimmick when you hear them on the radio/tv, but they actually work. You have to qualify, and know what you are doing when you file the offer. With experience in having many of these offers accepted by the IRS for our clients at EA Tax Resolutions in Orange County, CA we know how to file the Offer in Compromise.In this blog I am going to explain how to determine your “offer” or “reasonable collection potential” (RCP).The IRS reasonable collection potential (RCP) or offer is based off your net equity assets and future income. The IRS will accept an offer so long that it meets or exceeds their financial guidelines to calculate the net equity assets and future income. Getting this calculation is the reason why s...

An IRS installment agreement is a monthly payment plan with the IRS when you have tax debt and can’t pay in full. You need to keep in mind that even though you set up an IRS installment agreement, penalties and interest will continue to accrue on any outstanding tax debt, just like a credit card. Also, once an installment agreement is set up, if you subsequently file a tax return with tax debt, and do not pay by the due date, your installment agreement will go into default. An IRS installment agreement can not be set up until all required tax returns have been filed. There are several types of IRS installment agreements and the following are the qualifications, fees and methods to set each of them up.Automatic Installment Agreement          Taxpayer owes less than $10,000          Taxpa...

At our tax office in Orange County, CA we represent clients before the IRS to help them with tax compliance and to resolve their back tax debts. One of those options is the uncollectible status or the Currently Non-Collectible Status, CNC. What is the Currently Non-Collectible Status, CNC?The CNC is a status the IRS will code taxpayers accounts’ when the taxpayer can prove that they have no equity in available assets and their income is lower than their IRS allowable expenses. Once taxpayers have been placed in the currently non-collectible status, the IRS will no longer take any levy actions. This means the IRS will not take money from your bank accounts or from your wages.Keys things to know is that the CNC status does not actually resolve the back tax issue once the CNC status has be...

 At EA Tax Resolutions we teach our clients in Orange County, CA about the IRS 10-year collection statute and the importance it has on our strategy to resolve their back taxes.The IRS has 10 years to collect on your tax debt after the tax has been assessed. Once that 10-year mark runs up, you are clear and free of that tax debt. Now, many people might think they can run from the IRS until the 10-year mark, however this is not easy to do, and not something we recommend. However, the 10-year collection statute, or as the IRS like to call it the Collection statute expiration date (CSED), has a very important role in the process of resolving our tax debt.The reason we always have the CSED in mind when planning a strategy to resolve back taxes is because the IRS uses this date when figuring ...

The first step we take when a client comes to us in Orange County with tax debt, is to find out from the IRS if they are tax compliant. The reason we need to find out if our client is tax compliant, first, is because the IRS will not accept any offers to resolve your back taxes until you are in full compliance with the tax law, and not accruing new tax debt.So, what is tax compliance?Tax Compliance in the eyes of the IRS is: All tax returns for the prior 6 years have been filed Taxpayer is making sufficient payments toward current tax year through either paycheck withholdings or estimated tax payments Once you are tax compliant with the IRS, we can then work on resolving your back taxes. We have the options of either settling for less than you owe with the IRS through what called an Off...
