Negotiating a Resolution to Your Case

If you failed to pay your taxes or misreported certain kinds of information, the IRS is usually more inclined to reach an agreement if you step forward with an attorney to admit your mistake. In many cases, an experienced attorney can negotiate a repayment plan that is manageable and reduces the penalties involved. However, when the IRS discovers inconsistencies and back taxes due, it often assumes the person is guilty of trying to commit tax fraud. As a result, they are less inclined to work with the accused and often engage in heavy-handed tactics to recover unpaid taxes.
