Representing citizens with IRS problems is a challenge. The IRS has little sympathy for delinquent individuals and businesses. Fortunately, citizens have rights and, through their legal representative, they can successfully negotiate a resolution that allows them to move on with their lives. To effectively represent their clients, tax practitioners must know the law, the rules and IRS policy.
The IRS has rules that they must follow. There is the Internal Revenue Code. That is the law and whether they like it or not, they must follow it.
They also have the Internal Revenue Manual which they follow 100% of the time as long as they like what it says. When they do not like what it says, they follow it 0% of the time. The Manual contains their rules and guidelines, but it is this not the law, meaning taxpayers are not bound by it.
It is my job as a Tax Attorney to hold their feet to the fire and make sure that they comply with the law and follow their own procedures.

You may remember my article last year, “IRS Tries Private Debt Collectors … Again“, where I predicted three times would not be a charm. Yes, the idea has failed not once, not twice, but thrice.
They’re baaaack. After 4 1/2 months of no activity, the IRS will be back in Florida on February 1. None of the Revenue Officers (who are the collectors) or the Revenue Agents (who are the auditors) physically left the state, but they have been quiet.
One of my favorite tax problem solutions is to have the IRS declare my client Currently Not Collectible (CNC). This is for citizens who cannot make even the smallest payments on their outstanding debts. Maybe they are out of work, short or long term, or maybe they just do not make enough income to pay all of their expenses. If this is the case, CNC status is often the answer.
The IRS will not make first contact with you by telephone. Only scammers call.
The IRS does not use email. Only scammers use email.
The IRS generally does not knock on the door. They do not have the manpower.
It is April and your tax return is done. On the bottom of the second page it says that you owe money. The amount is more than you can pay so you decide not to file it. Bad move.
