Gary Bode, CPA: the amount of back taxes you owe shouldn’t be subject to the quality of your CPA, but they are. For a free initial phone consultation please call 399-2705.
You’re not alone! Plenty of ordinary folks and businesses have back tax issues. Hi, I’m Gary Bode, a national back tax CPA with a virtual office to serve you wherever you live.
Here’s some of what we do when you engage us for IRS resolution issues:
- We listen carefully to your side of the story.
- We don’t assume the IRS demand is correct. Often we can reduce that amount and sometimes even generate a tax refund!
- We examine all the IRS correspondence.
- We look for possible criminal implications, in case we need an attorney to help. This is unlikely, but we cover the bases.
- We get Power of Attorney to represent you with the IRS. This allows us to run interference for you and reduce the stress these situations create.
- We request additional time from the IRS to work on your case. Generally, we can delay levies and garnishments, at least for a while.
- We request additional time with your State, if appropriate, for the same reasons.
- We explain everything to you in English, not Financialese. We encourage questions!
- We avoid opening other tax issues. Clients sometimes incriminate themselves in areas that weren’t initially of interest to the IRS. Ouch!
- We have a direct portal into the IRS system. We examine all the IRS documentation has on you.
- We examine all your documentation.
- We identify the key issues.
- We file un-filed returns.
- We amend incorrect past returns.
- We determine the correct amount you owe, which might be a refund. Yes, this does happen.
- When appropriate, we try to get an IRS Agent assigned to your case. Even simple issues seem convoluted in the IRS automated collection system from overlapping notices.
- We request abatement of penalties.
- We help structure payment to the IRS if you actually owe taxes.
What if I do owe Back Taxes?
We check to see if the IRS will accept less than what you through an Offer in Compromise. This infamous “pay pennies on the dollar” technique may do just that, if you qualify. If you don’t qualify now, we look at what you would have to do to become qualified.
How can I pay the IRS?
We help structure payments through Installment Agreements or Payroll Deduction Agreements.
We are a national and international back tax CPA firm operating from Wilmington NC. But we serve a broader geographical base through our virtual office. Please read any the postings on back taxes or IRS audits to help gauge our ability and proactive philosophy. Need a free initial phone consult? (910) 840-3858.
