There are lots of people in this country who try to capitalize on the stress and anxiety that comes when you receive a notice of taxes due from the IRS.
Have You Seen These?
On TV:
- “We’ll settle your IRS debt for pennies on the dollar”
- “We can drastically reduce your tax debt”
- “We will eliminate interest and penalties”
- “Get tax relief in 60 second or less”
In Your Mailbox:
- “You may qualify for a government plan to help settle your tax debt”
- “This warrant has been issued against the above named debtor because of the tax debt that has not been paid in full.”
Here’s How They Try to Scare You:
| It looks official, but it’s not. They know to contact you because the debt is recorded as a judgment or tax lien. |  |
| The language is intentionally frightening. |  |
| The deadline is really soon, which adds to the anxiety. By the time this actually lands in your mailbox, there may be only 4 to 5 days before the declared deadline. |  |
| The “call to action” is for the recipient to call a toll-free number. We’ve obscured it for obvious reasons, but would you expect to see a government agency’s name come up if you search for the phone number? That’s not what you’ll find! |  |
These so-called tax relief organizations are just mills that employ lots of sales people and very few attorneys.
Here’s how they commonly work:
- Aggressive TV presence combined with an aggressive sales team who prey on consumer fears about the IRS.
- Often use delaying tactics to lengthen the process – until they finally report that you no longer qualify for relief or say that the IRS has rejected your offer.
- Promises of a money back guarantee – but it expires in just 15 days.
- Offers an initial analysis for $500 or less and then upsell you drastically once you’re committed to using them.
- Assure you there is a tax attorney on the case, when in reality there are only one or two tax attorneys who are responsible for thousands of clients.
