IRS Wants Me to Pay $4,730 a Month. What should I tell them?

In my attempts to make things right in my life by being on the up and up with my Shepherds (AKA the US Federal Government), I have been paying my current taxes and also have filed all my previous missed tax returns.

Fast forward to now. A short little chubby IRS agent lady came to my door saying she was just in the neighborhood which I know was a big fat lie. In any event, she has been on my wife and I like white on rice and wants my wife and I to pay the IRS 50% of our income which is $4,730 a Month to pay our back taxes.

I have no problem making payments, but basically this bitch wants my family and I to suffer and live like in poverty until they are paid. Of course I AM not liking her, her proposal or any of it and this goes along the lines of Socialism where our country is at now.

Punish success (making money and a successful business) and reward laziness and dumbness (no job and live on welfare).

You see, if I was not a success, they wouldn't come after me and in addition, I would not have to pay shit in back taxes because I would be collecting welfare and unemployment. What this tells me is that this is the future of our world and that I better get used to this shit. But in the same breathe, I AM not going to allow the lazy or unintelligent just sit on their ass and collect a check.

With Obama, taxes are going up even more and then we have health care on top of it.

In any event, what would you do if you were me and the IRS wanted 50% of your income to pay our back taxes? Is there a better way to deal with this other than bankruptcy?

Get a good lawyer that works with the IRS to reduce what you owe, they are out there. Don't let the Magic Munchkin intimidate you.

Glenn Beck has an accounting firm that advertises on his show that deals specifically with the IRS, getting them to reduce the debt owed (up to 90 percent) I believe and setting up payment plans, and dealing with all the specifics.

I would go that route, I wouldn't do it alone.

saying they will reduce up to 90% is bullshit hype to get you in the door...

say sizzle?

Bankruptcy is not even an option as for avoiding the back tax. The question is, can they demand 50%?

You could just cut them a check for 5-10% every month. Then if they send a letter of demand or some sort of garnishment or bank account freeze you would have a legal appeal process.

I think they can demand 50% from anyone not on a fixed income i.e. SSA.

the worst advice ever...you do NOT want to throw money at an old tax....

you need a payment plan...and a penalty abatement (if you qualify) ...

OP,

Many of us have been in similar positions. Its complicated because there are so many variables. One thing I've learned is that if you own property and have equity, the IRS won't want to compromise. Especially if you make a good monthly paycheck. All that BS on TV about owing large sums of money and settling for pennies on the dollar is for folks who don't own property, have equity or make good money.

If you own property and go on a payment plan they will lean your property until you pay them off. Also, realize if you agree to let them have half your paycheck the State will come calling as well. So its not just half your paycheck. You'll be living off less than half.

You need to rethink your position. If there's any possible way reconsider bankruptcy. Yeah, your credit will tank but imagine the pain of paying them for years and having nothing. If I could go back that's what I would have done.

The problem with this issue is that its complicated and there are so many variables that by the time your done and fully understand the rules, its too late because you've already made decisions and signed agreements.

Best advice is to find an Attny who hates the IRS and has a vested interest in seeing you pay as little as possible. Most Attny's don't give a flying fuck about you and will only give bits and pieces of information so that you start making decisions without knowing the whole picture.

My situation was different than yours but I wish I'd set down with an Attny for 6 hours straight and talking the entire problem through A-Z and created a strategy based on all realities. Yes, its going to cost 4-5 grand AT LEAST but you will have made the best decisions based on ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION. Not just Ad-Hoc.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to find an Attny whose actually on your side. If not, he won't give a fuck and will throw you under the bus.

Good luck man.

The real estate license was pulled for my felonies that I went to prison for. So I lost my freedom and professional license. Hence, I paid my debt in full to society for these crimes.

Do you want me to pay forever?

Do you believe in redemption or that if a man does his time for his crime and does not commit anymore that they can be changed?

Why am I a scam, because I had a felony and now help people with my websites that make very good money?

Is there a better way to deal with this other than bankruptcy?

don't talk to her

get a tax attorney

do not deal with them by yourself

10 years from the "tax year owed".

so if you never filed for tax year say..1985, then the IRS would not try to collect that.

And this is info from my tax lawyer.

You CANNOT 'do bankruptcy' for IRS debts....period.

You are screwed.

Just pay them and eat beans and rice.

the IRS has NO jurisdiction

a bankruptcy will not get rid of the liability, but may qualify you for penalty abatement, really if you qualify you should go into a status 53, if you want paperwork from me ask Trinity to get ahold of me with your number...
