ATTORNEY ERIC L. GREEN TO SPEAK ON CCH’S NATIONAL WEBINAR: DEALING WITH THE IRS COLLECTION DIVISION

Join Attorney Eric L. Green on May 24th at 1:00 pm EST for a national webinar hosted by CCH, a Wolters Kluwer Company:

DEALING WITH THE IRS COLLECTION DIVISION

A Practical Review of IRS Collection Procedures and Opportunities to Help Your Clients

A Live Two -Hour Webinar from CCH

Join Esteemed Tax Controversy Attorney Eric L. Green and Learn How the IRS Collection Division Operates and What Opportunities Exist to Help Taxpayers Resolve Their Tax Issues

As the federal government faces extreme financial pressures, the IRS is using every tool it has available to identify taxpayers who owe back taxes in its efforts to close the “tax gap” and collect owed revenues. As of December 31, 2010 there are more than 10.4 million taxpayers in the IRS Collection Division’s inventory. IRS lien filings are up a staggering 1,600% over the last 10 years, and levies served on third parties have increased 475% during the same period. The impact of the IRS’s increased enforcement activities is to send more taxpayers scrambling for professional help in resolving their IRS problems. Unpaid payroll tax liabilities in particular have become a huge issue for small businesses.

The key success factor in assisting taxpayers with their IRS issues is understanding the rules of how the IRS Collection Division works and knowing where the opportunities are to resolve the matter. This two-hour CPE webinar with highly regarded tax controversy expert, Eric L. Green, J.D., LL.M., will provide a practical review of IRS Collection Division procedures, a practical discussion of handling the tax collection client to make sure you get paid, and the opportunities that exist to resolve income and payroll tax liabilities for taxpayers, including the offer-in-compromise program and installment agreements.

Program Topics

Want to resolve your IRS issue? The first step is to get into compliance!

When taxpayers initially arrive in our office for assistance with resolving their IRS tax issue, the first item on the agenda is their current tax compliance.  The IRS Collection Division are sticklers for one very significant rule: there is no deal without tax compliance.

So what is “compliance” for tax purposes?

When we discuss tax compliance what we mean is that the client has filed all outstanding tax returns and is making required tax payments, including:

• For employees this means that the proper amount of withholding for federal income taxes are being withheld each pay period;
• For self-employed individuals they are making their quarterly estimated tax payments on schedule; and
• For employers they are depositing and filing their quarterly payroll taxes and tax returns on time.

Without current compliance, the IRS will refuse to enter into any agreement to resolve back taxes because there is no point to working on the old tax debt while the taxpayer continues to compile new tax debt.

So start 2011 on the right foot by getting into compliance!
