I filed my state last year and paid it off after getting a letter. I recently got a different letter stating that I now owe over $7,000 in federal taxes, interest and penalties. I originally owed $4000, which is probably close to correct. I am going to file my return this week. Is there any way I can negotiate the total amount due? I will definitely need to set up payments, how do I do this? I noticed that most tax resolution consultants require that you owe over $10K-$15K in back taxes. Are there any consultant out there that deal with smaller cases? Is it worth it? Can you offer some advice to what I should do. I did not file a 2006 federal tax return .

It’s not voluntary to pay. You have to pay. The voluntary part is that if you don’t file your own tax return, the IRS will do it for you. And they’re going to do it in their best interest by filing a Substitute for Return (SFR) and preparing your tax returns for you without taking any of your allowable deductions - leaving you with a larger tax liability.

The Service is barred (excepting cases of fraud) from examining returns after statute. The taxpayer is barred from refunds on returns past statute. It works both ways.

Correct? ANSWER: Yes. They have 3 years to audit you from the date the delinquent return is FILED. In addition if the IRS has information (usually from 3rd party payors) they can go back as far as they want in to get you to file a return. The ITS’s computer is flagged with a “TDI’ (Taxpayer Delinquency Inquiry) on these particular years. QUESTION: Does the tax payer have rights regarding payments the IRS refuses to pay due to time limitations from the late returns, said returns filed due to the IRS filing a SFR which showed you owed 12K? ANSWER: This is probably the most unfair law that congress has ever passed, but it’s true. The IRS will only credit the overpayment to the year it was earmarked for. In other words let’s say you just filed year 2002 and it shows a refund of $12,000. That 12,000 cannot be applied backward or forward if you owe for previous or subsequent years. It’s a terrible law, but that’s how they get (or want) you to file on time. QUESTION: Does the tax payer have rights regarding payments the IRS refuses to pay due to time limitations from the late returns required to file as not to owe the IRS over 10k? ANSWER: The IRS , by operation of law, has no obligation to refund the taxpayer money more than 3 years from the due date of the return, including extensions.
