Hardship Status

Sometimes, you face the situation when you cannot make any payments towards their back state or federal taxes. Worse, some procedural or other circumstances may prevent you from qualifying for the offer in compromise program or for the bankruptcies.

What are you supposed to do then? In such situations it would make sense to negotiate a temporary "hardship status". The key word is hardship. Many would think that is paying back past due taxes to the IRS is economic hardship and that there are always more pleasurable things to do with your money than giving it to the IRS. Unfortunately, it is not the way the IRS sees.

Los Angeles Tax Attorneys have scored hundreds of successful negotiation and are ready to score hundreds more. We will help you prove your hardship status, demonstrating to the IRS that paying all that is due or making large payments to the IRS would result in an undue economic burden. This is done by showing that a payment of what the IRS is demanding would result in taking food off your family's table, or having you to do without some other necessity of life, in order to give the money to the IRS. Fortunately for many people, this is not that difficult to prove. Other times it is a little more difficult, but there is generally always some type of resolution available. In these situations the government backs off until the taxpayer is able to get back on their feet.
