What You Need To Know If You Need Immediate Tax Relief

Online, June 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Taxpayers in distress often have a difficult time assessing the best way to achieve tax relief. There are two significant challenges for the taxpayer to think through. First, what kind of professional should they turn to, a CPA, tax attorney or Enrolled Agent? Second, how can their specific tax problem be resolved and what outcome should they expect. IRS Tax Relief Now, Inc. will help taxpayers in distress obtain answers to these questions completely free of charge.

When it comes to the type of professional taxpayers should turn to, the answer can be complex. However, in cases of serious fraud or criminal activities the answer is clear. "If a taxpayer knows they have committed tax fraud or a criminal act they should seek the advice of an attorney in good standing with the State Bar where the taxpayer is located..." said Andrew Allard, Enrolled Agent and Director of Tax Negotiation for IRS Tax Relief Now, Inc, "...In almost all other cases an Enrolled Agent can handle tax relief issues just as good if not better than an attorney for a lower cost." Some people question whether a CPA is an appropriate choice to handle tax relief issues. It is important to note that while CPA's must pass educational and licensing requirements, they do not need to specialize in tax problem mitigation. Therefore, if a taxpayer wants to work with a CPA, they should determine if tax resolution is the CPA's area of expertise. Enrolled Agents, on the other hand, specialize in tax relief and they are the only group of tax professionals that are federally licensed by the IRS. Moreover, most Enrolled Agents do not charge by the billable hour and, hence, their professional service fees can be lower than the overall fees paid to attorneys for the same outcome.

The circumstances of the tax problem itself will determine to a great extent how the problem will be resolved. If the tax problem is criminal in nature or a case of fraud, only an attorney can give you an idea of how the problem can be resolve. It is very important to understand that attorneys cannot guarantee specific outcomes of lawsuits. When it comes to problems like back taxes, innocent spouse relief issues, tax liens, penalties and wage garnishment issues an Enrolled Agent, competent CPA or a tax attorney that specializes in tax relief can help you understand the specific process required to solve the problem with the IRS and what you'll need to do. Understand that outcomes cannot be guaranteed and be cautious of any professional that guarantees a specific outcome.
