8. We enjoy difficult problems

There is nothing more important job that I can do than save people from an IRS problem. And it's not just me, everyone at IRSMedic believes that. The difficult problems are where our skills shine. So it is a point of pride when we get a result in an incredibly difficult case. "Could any other firm in the world do what we just did?" Yes, there are other brilliant tax attorneys out there. I know many of them. But being brilliant alone will not necessarily give you the relief you deserve. It also takes a team of giving document support, a team reviewing submissions, a team who has built an entire system that anticipates the IRS doing the wrong things. A team that support each other when the going gets tough. A team with specialized roles. We've never shied away from the most difficult problems as IRSMedic has been designed from the very beginning to tackle difficult problems. You can't overwhelm us with your tax problems no matter how hard they seem to you. If you have a tough tax problem that is consuming you, calling us is always the right decision. http://ift.tt/1o66qeU Anthony Parent

7. Our flat fee guarantee

One of the most important tools we give our clients is control. We show them how to get control over their finances so that they can get control over their lives. So how could we advise our clients to agree to an hourly tax attorney bill that could be anything? If we were to bill our clients on an hourly basis, we would be contradicting the biggest lesson we are trying to teach them. And I hate to say this -- but the hourly rate puts a client and attorney in an adversarial position. The client is seeking to limit time spent, and the attorney will naturally and invariable seek to extend time billed. So here's a question? During this battle, who is thinking about battling the IRS? Isn't the IRS what the client and attorney should be on the same team to defeat? http://ift.tt/1o66prr Anthony Parent

6. Worldwide clients

The IRS can tax US persons' -- not just US citizens -- on their worldwide income. So this is an easy mistake for a lot of people as no one ever told them . So how many people can get caught up with making a mistake with this incredibly powerful and complicated IRS? Well here are some stats. there are an estimated 7 million expats around the globe who may not have been filing taxes and making proper reporting to the IRS, there are an estimated 6 million dual citizens living in the US who may not have been reporting income or assets from their home country, and there is another 2 million or more visa and green card holders in the uS who never knew that income they earned outside the US is subject to taxing and regulation by the IRS. That's 15 million people. That the population of the the biggest US cities New york, LA and Chicago! 15 million who should count themselves lucky if they have been reporting their income and foreign bank accounts correctly. http://ift.tt/1ofcjUz Anthony Parent

5. You will end your tax problem with us

Sometimes, we are not the first choice for a lot of our clients. We don't bill by the hour, but rather give the complete no-matter-how-long-it-takes cost of hiring us upfront. Sometimes this guaranteed flat fee is a bit too much for people to handle. Sometimes our flat-fee does not appear to be the bargain it is and so people other alternatives like require less upfront commitment. But then, after this half-hearted attempt at Plan B doesn't work, they end up hiring us because they were tired of getting nowhere -- and not realize they were getting nowhere after wasting tens of thousands of dollars and years off their life. Others find us after the do some research and find out their current representative isn't all that was cracked up to be. The point is we are routinely taking over cases, and taking them to completion, the same cases that other found impossible to resolve. You want to know a secret? Because the IRS causes some much anxiety it is rather easy to get people to hire you. Simply make big promises and charge a low initial fee and you will have more new clients then you can imagine. http://ift.tt/Sj9t5W Anthony Parent

4. IRS Advantage

My father and founding partner, David G. Parent served as a medic in the US Army. When I was a kid, I asked him -- "medic" a word I never heard before, "dad, what does a medic do?" He told me "well, when a soldier is in trouble, we get them out harms' way safely and quickly." And that is exactly why we decided on IRSMedic for our name. That is exactly what we do -- taxpayers in trouble --- we are going to get to a safe place. Right now. An IRS problem, untreated and mistreated can destroy your life. That is a crazy truth in a land where we are supposedly our own government. And politicians shouldn't let the IRS do run wild over you and other citizens the way they do. But however bad you feel, others have felt as bad or worse. And in every case, they all felt enormous relief with our approach. Yes we are a law firm, but we are also down to earth and accessible. That why we completely believe in the IRSMedic brand that we created. We never hide behind language you might not understand. We meet you where you are. We really listne before prescribing a solution. That's the IRSMedic advantage. http://ift.tt/1qV39Bb Anthony Parent

3. We are on your side

We believe that an attorney's job to to always be on their clients side. If you can't be on your clients side when the going get tough, then find something else to do; you shouldn't be an attorney. Now for us, it's easy. First, the income tax is has evolved into complete monster no one around 100 years ago when the 16th amendment, the amendment responsible for income tax was passed would ever recognize. The income tax was originally only going to be a tax on an extremely few extremely wealthy Americans. And it was originally a tiny percentage of income. Now there are other taxes based on income. Social security, medicare, state income taxes. These alone can easily exceed 20% of income. Tax problems can hit anyone who make money. And when they hit, don't you want to be represented by a firm that agrees with you. A firm that fully understands that the IRS is out of control. Second, we love the challenge in getting Goliath to agree to our proposed solution. All we do is to engage in strategies that actually work. We understand that the IRS isn't going to go away, outside of a revolution. So we don't waste time with arguments that federal courts consider frivolous. Even though you may possess the intellectual and moral high ground, hoping that the federal government will limit their own power -- -well that doesn't sound too realistic to you, right? While we aren't afraid to upset someone at the IRS who is breaking the rule, you also need a solution that is obtainable. And the good news is that there usually is some alternative open --- even after making huge mistakes. That said, some times what is in your best interest may be something you don't want to hear. Sometimes our job is to get you to accept an uncomfortable truth so that you can move on, and allocate your financial and emotional resources towards more worthwhile endeavors. Think about this --- making good decisions, decisions you'll be proud of, well doesn't that get easier once you rule out the alternatives that will bring you heartache and grief? At IRSMedic, we are always on your side, even when we tell you something isn't what you hoped to hear. http://ift.tt/1sUtafA Anthony Parent

2. IRSMedic.com is Judgment Free

Somebody watching this video right now may be thinking, Yeah I should give irsmedic.com a call, but are wondering --- but will they give me a hard time? Will they drill me, will they humiliate me with questions I don't have an explanation for? That is not what we do at IRSMedic.com. We aren't here to judge anyone. We are here to help people with tax problems. See: If we make you feel bad about yourself, how does that help us effectively move your case to conclusion. Our job is to lift you up. Our job is to give you the power to protect yourself. Is that what you want? http://ift.tt/Tu6Xuu Anthony Parent

1. Clarity

One of the easiest tricks to pull is to make someone feel stupid about not knowing something. And because there is so much to know about taxes, it is so incredibly easy to have a little bit of knowledge and still make someone else feel like a complete fool simply because they don't know the latest exception to the exception. One could use this dynamic to keep their clients at a constant subordinate position. Has this ever happened to you? Someone used their knowledge to make you feel inferior? At IRSMedic.com, e always seeks to elevate our clients. To explain to them the things -- that yeah ---somebody should have told them years ago. But again, with taxes, it is easy not to know something, things that are passed by raw political power, with little care to how a law impacts regular people. a normal logic process doesn't always work. http://ift.tt/1jUIumX Anthony Parent
