What to Look For in a Tax Resolution Specialist?

If you owe over $20,000 in tax debt to the IRS, hiring a tax resolution specialist can be a great asset for you. A tax resolution specialist will not only help you settle your tax debt in a way you can afford, but he or she can help you navigate the IRS system with peace of mind. The big problem that many tax payers face is that there are a lot of scams that prey on people that owe large amounts of tax debt. The question is how can you find a good tax resolution specialist? Here are three tips to land the perfect tax resolution specialist for your needs.
First, if the deal the tax resolution specialist offers is too good to be true, it probably is. There are many tax firms that promise that you will never have to pay any of your tax debt, ever. The truth is that there are not many instances where the IRS will completely free an individual from paying any taxes. The trick is to find a settlement that will be mutually beneficial for both you and the IRS.
Second, if the tax resolution specialist is heavily advertised, it may be a red flag. There isn’t a ton of money in tax resolution, and if your specialist is making enough money to afford prime time television ads, you should understand that it will be what you pay the professional that will fund those ads.
Finally, trust your gut. If you go into the establishment and it seems like everything is in disarray, don’t be afraid to continue your search. Trust yourself. Even if you don’t feel like your personalities will mesh well, it is alright to walk away before you get in the middle of a tax resolution deal.
