The IRS and private debt collections

The IRS and private debt collections

Passed in December of 2015, the FAST Act is a law that requires that the IRS use 3rd party collection agencies to do some of their dirty work. The IRS has said that this will be going live "Spring of 2017". In this video, Attorney Anthony Parent, Attorney Tom Groth (of http://tom.tax/) and Claudine Gindel discuss the top 3 reasons (we may have actually come up with more than 3), on why we think this is a bad idea. 1) They already tried it in the past...and it failed (miserably). 2) The IRS is constantly releasing press releases that "The IRS will never call you, what you are getting is scam calls"...until they actually do start calling people (and their new "verification code" sucks). 3) The reason the majority of the people they are going to try to collect on haven’t paid because they can’t afford to pay. How is a $13/hour call center employee going to magically turn an uncollectable debt into a collectible debt?
