When to Ask For Professional Tax Help

​

  • 4 out of 5 Offers in Compromise (OIC) get rejected by the IRS when filed by the taxpayer

  • Many taxpayer-negotiated OIC's offer the IRS much more than required by law

  • The taxpayer may be too frightened, upset, or intimidated to effectively negotiate a settlement

  • Most taxpayers desire to keep their distance from the IRS and remain happier

  • The taxpayer may slip up and inadvertently make statements that worsen the tax problem which could cause an audit or worse; criminal prosecution

  •  Tax professionals know where to draw the line when it comes to statements to reduce tax liability

  • The taxpayer take valuable time away from their work and family to deal with their own case

What Are IRS Back Taxes?

Back taxes are unpaid taxes from previous years. These balances continue to grow with:

  • IRS failure-to-file penalties

  • Failure-to-pay penalties

  • Daily compounding interest

  • Additional collection fees

Over time, even a small original balance can turn into a much larger debt. The IRS will continue pursuing collection until the debt is paid or resolved through a qualifying tax relief program.

Why Taxpayers Fall Behind on Taxes

People fall behind for many legitimate reasons, including:

  • Job loss or reduced income

  • Medical hardship

  • Divorce or family crisis

  • Self-employment with inconsistent earnings

  • Confusion about IRS rules

  • Missed filing deadlines

  • Payroll tax issues for business owners

The IRS does not consider these “excuses,” but they do provide options for debt relief when financial hardship is proven.

Consequences of Ignoring IRS Back Taxes

When back taxes go unresolved, the IRS can take aggressive action, including:

  • Wage Garnishment — taking 25–50% of your paycheck

  • Bank Levies — freezing and seizing funds from your bank account

  • Tax Liens — damaging your credit and restricting property sales

  • Asset Seizure — in extreme cases, taking property

  • Refund Offsets — applying future refunds to your debt

  • Continuous Penalty Growth — adding thousands to your balance

Taking action early helps avoid these consequences — and often unlocks better relief options.
