How Do Accountants Feel About People Who Owe the IRS, Like Us?

As we are building and growing the IRS Self Defense and Self Settlement Advocacy group, we are employing a two pronged strategy.  One is with search engine optimization, simply because most people with tax debt are not going on about it on social media, or talking about it around the water cooler.  Why?  Speaking from experience, most people are embarrassed, and if you owe the IRS, most of your friends are not in the same boat, so they really can’t help anyway. All this to say that most people with tax debt wind up leveraging an online search engine (like Google) to find relief from their tax debt.

The other strategy is through grass roots; introducing ourselves to financial planners and maybe even CPA’s.  My first call was to an old friend who has invested forty years of his life helping people plan for retirement.  I spoke to him about our plan, our program and our passion to help people defend their income and assets and settle their IRS tax debt themselves for the lowest possible amount.  He knew me when I owned my previous company in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and was aware that I had owed the IRS after my business failed.  He was flabbergasted that I was able to settle my debt for the amount I did, and also was quite impressed as he reviewed what we have to offer.

After a few days of thinking about things, he gave me this feedback:  “Be careful when you speak with accountants. They may not be enthused to speak with people who haven’t paid their taxes.”

This may not be true for all CPA’s, but it is true for many.  

All the more reason why we, as taxpayers, should take matters into our own hands, defending ourselves vigorously and understanding what it takes to negotiate and settle with the IRS for the lowest possible amount.

In the course of my years of owing the IRS, I’ve met and worked with many passive CPAs who had poor negotiation skills and terribly low expectations about what can actually be done in terms of an offer in compromise with the IRS.

Also, isn’t it funny that after running a business which generated profits and paid hundreds of thousands in taxes, I would still be labeled and viewed as someone who ‘didn’t pay his taxes’ by some professionals.

Part of the stigma of owing the IRS is that  you may not feel comfortable protecting your income and assets, and you may not feel comfortable legally negotiating a settlement which will amount to less than you owe.  

I’m a God fearing man, and I’m here to say fuck that.

We’re here to help fortify and empower you to fight for your family, your financial future, and to settle for the lowest possible amount…all legally!

This is not the time to roll over and hope for the best.  This is the time to step up, educate yourself and take action!  Let’s go!
