Do You Make These Mistakes: You Ignore Communications from the IRS
Many of my clients hope or expect their IRS problems to go away by using the "Ostrich Defense." They simply bury their head in the sand and ignore everything they receive from the IRS and hope it goes away. I’m afraid that this is not the right posture to be in when dealing with the IRS.
I recommend taking a more proactive stance and coming forward when the IRS asks for something. Why? Well, for one thing, they are not going away and they are not going to forget about you. Also, at some point the IRS is going to get fed up with your non-response and start levying your paychecks, bank accounts or customer lists and possibly subpoenaing you to produce documents.
I have no legal explanation, but many of my clients or prospects report that when they have responded to every notice sent by the IRS, it seems to keep the IRS at bay and prevent levies, but that one time when they forget to respond they are immediately slammed with a levy.
So, if you’ve been receiving collection notices from the IRS, call me today so we can sit down and discuss the situation and how I can help you get on the right track with the IRS.
