Should I call the IRS myself?

http://ift.tt/1RfwK1f People are concerned about calling the IRS, they often wonder if doing so will raise red flags. The first question our clients ask us is "Will hiring an attorney make me look guilty?" The answer is no. The person that is reviewing the Power of Attorney that we submit is doing just that. They are not opening your case or looking at any of your tax details. Now, if you contact the IRS on your own the first thing they do is look up your info and verify your identification. Next, they let you know if you owe anything to the IRS and ask if you would like to pay the balance in full (they accept credit cards!). They may try to strong arm you or intimidate you. It's important to be objective; don't get defensive or emotional. If you choose not to pay in full (and you really should not agree to that), the IRS will then tell you that you have 30 days to get back to them with your financial info. While they won't be following up with a phone call to you, your case is now coded and is part of a collection process. This will initiate the IRS "notice stream" and you will begin getting collection letters after that 30 days. If you instead choose to have representation call the IRS on your behalf, they can gather all of the appropriate information needed to find out exactly what's going on with your case. This way, they can come up with a plan of exactly how to address your issue. Another benefit of having representation call the IRS is that they will have more experience in negotiating with the IRS. You need to know how to communicate with them in the best way possible. A professional will also understand how structure your financial information and allowable expenses in the most beneficial way possible.
