As cliché as it may sound, the only thing permanent in this world is
death and taxes. Simply hearing these two things can send shiver down the spine
of anyone. Facing the IRS, however, need not be a scary experience as long as
you know what to do.
IRS Notices
IRS notices get sent either by mail or online. Regardless of how you
were able to get it, you need to make sure that you read it thoroughly and make
sure you send in your reply at once. If you have been asked to come for an
interview, make sure you bring a tax attorney with you. The tax attorney can
help discuss things with IRS on your behalf. It also keeps you from being taken
advantage of.
During your interview with the IRS, you are afforded a number of rights.
This would include being treated in a professional manner. If, at any time
during the interview, you feel that you are not treated properly, you can have
the interview terminated and speak instead with the supervisor.
Tax Expert
IRS deals with taxes and, if you have no idea how taxes are computed or
how they work, you might become more confused. When that happens, you might
commit to information that is not correct. To ensure that you are not taken
advantage of, seek first the counsel of a tax expert. A tax expert can help you
better prepare on how to answer the questions of the IRS.
Due Process
No matter what you have heard, IRS cannot just take your car and home
without going through the correct process. You would always be given a notice
as well as a chance to challenge their findings before they can actually take
position of what you have.
