Contacting an IRS tax attorney can provide you with years of expertise to properly resolve a serious, stressful financial situation.
If you have an IRS debt, the organization has probably reached out to you and sent notification of payment required. A series of five letters of notification including intent to levy and a right to a Collection Due Process hearing will be forwarded to allow you to take action on your debt. If you do not open up your mail and follow the deadlines included in the correspondence, a manageable situation can become a severe problem quickly.

Having a conversation will provide additional insight into the problem and solution.

Completing an analysis of your current financial situation and ability to pay down the balance will be necessary. Remember to take detailed notes and document everything. If the IRS agrees to any payment terms, be sure to get the agreement in writing.
