The first step to resolving any case is thoroughly researching your IRS record.
This can an especially important step when not much is known about the case or when returns haven’t been filed for a long time. We do so carefully via software that allows us to do so without raising alarm bells with the IRS. Any licensed tax professional should research your IRS record no matter how simple a case appears to be.
With a liability the expiration date is the critical detail. Tax expiration is important because all taxes expire 10 years after they were assessed. (Exceptions to this are caused by filing bankruptcy or filing an earlier Offer in Compromise that gets rejected.)
There’s nothing better than having your tax debt simply expire, so sometimes our only step is to
find your tax expiration date.
