Certainly! Here's the reworded version of the information you provided:
Why are there two stages in the process?
To fully address a problem, we need to understand it completely — and the same goes for us. The first phase is critical to determine the full scope of your issues with the IRS. This step involves a thorough, detailed assessment of your situation, including any years you may not have filed (if applicable) and your total tax debt. This investigation alone can take a considerable amount of time and expertise from a tax professional. Once we have a clear understanding of your tax history and available options, we can move on to the second phase, where we propose solutions to resolve your tax issues.
Are your services offered at a flat rate?
No, we charge a flat fee for "phase 1" (the investigation) and a separate flat fee for "phase 2" (the resolution). Each phase addresses different aspects of the process, and the fees reflect the services provided during each stage.
If I complete "phase 1," am I required to proceed to "phase 2"?
Not at all. Once phase 1 is completed, you will have a clear understanding of your tax obligations, why they exist, and your available options for resolving the debt as effectively as possible. You are under no obligation to continue to phase 2, but it’s important to note that the debt will continue to grow with additional interest, penalties, and fees unless action is taken to resolve it.
What happens if I do nothing about my tax debt?
You certainly can choose to do nothing, though many people do. Unfortunately, leaving your tax debt unresolved will allow it to grow over time with added interest, penalties, and late fees. This can lead to ongoing stress and anxiety, knowing the IRS may eventually take further action, such as garnishing wages or seizing assets, as part of their collection efforts.
Can I negotiate my tax debt with the IRS on my own?
Absolutely! We always tell our clients that there’s very little we do for you that you can’t handle yourself. While filing taxes can be complex for many, especially with tax debt, it becomes even more intricate when considering unfiled years, penalties, and the potential for IRS enforcement actions like wage garnishments or bank levies. Plus, you could spend a long time waiting to speak with an IRS representative. Many people opt for professional help because of the added complexity and the time it takes to deal with these issues effectively.
