Tax Debt Help

Tax debt help is offered by a variety of companies, organizations, firms and agencies that want to enable a taxpayer who has accrued tax liability to help themselves reverse the cycle of debt. In order to effectively offer assistance, a firm must have the full cooperation of the debtor needing the assistance. This means that all available financial and income records must be produced for review by the tax debt helps agency.

Since owing money for taxes is the only debt legally allowed to garnish wages and liquidate bank accounts, it is advised that this liability be paid off first. Taxes aren't a preferred option, but required of everyone: "Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour" (Romans 13:7). Tax debt helps to determine the order of repayment priority to all debt.

If tax debt help assistance is required, multiple agencies will offer an proposed contact plan to meet with all creditors in order to design a debt payoff plan of action. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers assistance free of charge. This is advantageous for those who have a limited budget to work with and are in need of professional help. These meetings can be communicated over the telephone, through email or in person. On a rare occasion advisors may come to a place of residence if the other methods of meeting can not be arranged.

Tax debt helps can be provided by any number of professionals including a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), a Tax Attorney, or an IRS Certified Enrolled Agent. A CPA is a special designation given to an accountant who has passed a national uniform examination and has met other certifying requirements; CPA certificates are issued and monitored by state boards of accountancy or similar agencies. A Tax Attorney advises individuals, business concerns, and other organizations concerning income, estate, gift, excise, property, and other federal, state, local, and foreign taxes. A Tax Attorney also prepares opinions on liability from prospective and past transactions. They are one of three professionals who can represent clients in tax-related litigation.

IRS Enrolled Agents are experts in United States taxation law. They have to pass an IRS exam given annually that 80% of applicants fail. IRS Enrolled Agents are certified to work in government and private industries offering tax debt help and can also legally represent a taxpayer in court. The three mentioned experts are the only three that can legally represent a taxpayer in a court of law. Anyone else that makes this claim is committing an act of fraud in which the taxpayer is responsible for.
