Did you know: Congress has pumped an additional $400 million into the IRS enforcement budget for fiscal year 2010.
This allowed  the IRS to add 4,000 to 5,000 new revenue agents to assess and collect taxes. The International Monetary Fund has even gone as far as to call the United States bankrupt. With the U.S. fiscal gap growing and the IRS going after delinquent taxpayers to increase tax revenue, there is

Failing to file tax returns on time, failing to file taxes or trying to evade the IRS by conducting business in cash is just plain dumb.   With a $5.5 billion budget from Congress dedicated to enforce tax collection, the odds are that the IRS will come after you.   It’s a lot easier to seek professional tax help to resolve your tax problems than it is to try to explain to

The IRS established the Offer in Compromise program to help taxpayers who have experienced significant financial problems get a fresh start.  Although many people somehow feel that their “financial problems” will qualify, in reality only about 26% of those who applied for the Offer in Compromise program (in 2007) were actually accepted.  A perfect example of the other 74% is highlighted in the article below:�
