Federal Tax Liens-You’re Sitting on a Time Bomb!
April 24, 2009
Even if you have a C.P.A. or Tax Attorney, you may still need us! You want to reduce the amount you owe? You owe large penalties and interest? You want to be protected from a levy? You get no response from the IRS? You want a lien removed? You don’t know which way to turn? You want to bring your tax problems to an end at the least possible cost? You fear seizure of your home or property? You have a business and owe withholding taxes for past quarters? The IRS is threatening to shut down your business and liquidate your assets? Your business went under and you were charged with all the employee withholding taxes? Do you believe your situation is hopeless? Do you believe that you must pay every cent you owe?
THINK AGAIN! The IRS routinely dismisses charges. It has the legal power to forgive the entire amount owed. Using proven methods, we save people substantial dollars. We look forward to developing a strategy that is best for and acceptable to you!
A Tax Lien can result in garnishment of your wages, levy on your bank accounts, or even seizure of your home, car and other assets. Contrary to popular belief, Texas Homestead Laws do not protect your house, your car, or your wages from IRS Collection Laws. Tax Liens recorded at the Court House could affect your ability to get credit, find a job, rent a place to live or sell real property. Ignoring this situation can only make it worse. Our Tax Professionals can give you immediate relief from the IRS. We can help minimize or even avoid the adverse consequences of any such actions. Many tax assessments qualify for abatement, discharge and/or settlement. However, timing is critical. Once you engage us to represent you, you will no longer have to meet or talk with any representative of the IRS. We handle that for you. Representing Taxpayers before the IRS is our primary business. Our Tax Professionals deal with the IRS on a daily basis and have been doing so for years. As a result, we know the rules and are efficient, as well as, organized in providing these services. This translates into savings because there is no added expense for training of someone for your particular situation.
We analyze the facts of your case and apply our knowledge of IRS Collection Law in order to devise a stratey for minimizing your taxes. Then discuss the alternatives with you before proceeding to implement your plan.
We are Enrolled Agents (EA). An Enrolled Agent is a Federally Authorized Tax Practitioner who has technical expertise in the field of taxation and who is empowered by the U.S. Department of Treasury to represent Taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS for audits, collections, and appeals.”Enrolled” means EA’s are licensed to practice by the federal government. “Agent” means EA’s are authorized to appear in the place of the Taxpayer or at the IRS.

Tax Masters-Reports of Poor Tax Representation
August 2, 2008
Recently, a former client of Tax Masters came to our office for help to resolve their IRS tax matter and told us to check Ripoff Reports. We were surprised to find that so many clients of Tax Masters are disgruntled. At this point, we can only hope those who see this posting will contact us to give us an opportunity to help them end their IRS nightmare. We stand ready to serve those who will give us the chance. Even though, we do not have their Tax Masters file, there are ways to find out the status of a case with IRS.
We have experienced taxpayers looking for a change of tax professionals. It takes an initial meeting or telephone conference with us to determine what progress has been made on their case and what needs to be done to see the matter to conclusion. Understandably, people are mad at having paid money and feeling nothing was done, but we will able to get past that. They will need to obtain the necessary funds for us to continue the work and see the IRS problem matter to ultimate resolution.
Since we have done this before, we are quite certain that we can help. For tax practitioners who have not done this before, it might seem overwhelming to pick up a case in the middle and know what has happened in the past and know what needs to be done in the future to bring the matter to a successful close. Because we have done this before, and, therefore, have experience, its not so overwhelming and we welcome the opportunity.
We realize that former clients of Tax Masters feel that they have been “burned” and would certainly want to check out anyone they deal with in the future. We welcome that scrutiny. The President and CEO of Redd & Greaves, P.C. has been representing taxpayers in tax controversy matters for 30 years. In that period of time hundreds of clients have been served and the BBB record for Redd & Greaves, P.C. shows only one complaint. The one person who filed a complaint with BBB has also posted a complaint at this website, Ripoff Report. In thirty years of practice, one person retained us with every intention of allowing us to complete the work and then sue us for a refund of his retainer by claiming he never signed the engagement agreement and never intended to do so. However, we think our record of thirty years with one complaint speaks for itself. We are proud of that record.
If the former clients of Tax Masters can find one BBB compliant within acceptable limits, we welcome you to contact us for an opportunity to discuss your IRS problems in a no obligation meeting or telephone conference. We are licensed to represent taxpayers in every state in the U.S.A., so no matter where you are we can help.
There is life after the IRS and we would like to help you get there. We have many satisfied clients that are sleeping well at night because their IRS matters are behind them.

Certified IRS Solutions Closing
August 2, 2008
We were surprised recently to find that Certified IRS Solutions (CIS) had closed its doors and gone out of business. The only reason we knew was because a former client of Certified IRS Solutions came to our office for help to resolve their IRS to tax matter. That person had a letter, or rather a posting, to a website advising all clients of Certified IRS Solutions, they had gone out of business and would not longer be dealing with their tax matters. At this point, we can only hope those who see this posting will contact us to give us an opportunity to help them end their IRS nightmare. We stand ready to serve those who will give us the chance. Even though, we do not have their CIS file, there are ways to find out the status of a case with IRS..
We have experienced this before in the mid 90’s when a CPA Firm closed its doors and left its employees unpaid and its clients in a lurch. However, in that case the CPA notified us and in one weekend we received file cabinets full of client files in progress. It took a great deal of time, almost two months, to contact all those clients and have them come into the office and meet with us to determine what progress had been made on their case and what needed to be done to see the matter to conclusion. We met with clients everyday, 12 hours a day, for approximately two months. Understandably, people were mad at having paid money and gotten nothing done by the CPA, but we were able to get past that. They were able to obtain the necessary funds for us to continue the work that the CPA had not done and see the IRS problem matters to ultimate resolution.
Since we have done this before, we are quite certain that we can help those former clients of Certified IRS Solutions. For tax practitioners who have not done this before, it might seem overwhelming to pick up a case in the middle and know what has happened in the past and know what needs to be done in the future to bring the matter to a successful close.

Tax Problems and Poor Representatives of Today
July 26, 2008
Recently there have been several companies representing taxpayers who have gone out of business and taken payment for services that were never delivered. Unfortunately, many taxpayers have been left with a mess to handle on their own and no money to fight the IRS. That is a frustrating situation to be in.
What has happened in the tax service industry is no different than what often happens in life. Someone got greedy. An idea to represent the average helpless taxpayer turned into a scam. Many times the average taxpayer finds himself or herself drowning in a sea of tax debt and no way to dig out of the black hole. Often depression sets in and even thoughts of taking one’s life comes to mind.
It is a shame that we hear of people paying for tax representation that are often taken advantage of by unscrupulous practitioners or the high pressure salespersons that make “pie in the sky” promises that are not realistic. Often they promise the taxpayer that if they pay $4,000 to $7,000, they can get an Offer In Compromise through the IRS maze and all their tax debt will be reduced to pennies. What a joke this is! No one can make any guarantees when it comes to negotiating with the Internal Revenue Service. A good tax practitioner can do a lot of damage control, if they know what they are doing, but no one can make guarantees as to what the IRS will do. A good representative should know what to do to make the IRS do their job and therefore, serve the taxpayer. A practitioner that promises to settle a case for “pennies on the dollar” creates a bad situation for all practitioners.
First and foremost, a taxpayer should check the references of the professionals who will be representing them. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is a good place to start your research. For a professional to have few complaints is a very good sign. You should check out the reports of the BBB and determine for yourself if you think the professionals are performing at a level that you find acceptable.
Choose a tax professional, such an Enrolled Agent “EA”, who can represent you in any state in the United States, or any country in the world, with regard to IRS tax matters. An Enrolled Agent has passed a very difficult exam which focuses on all levels of administrative tax law and ethics. An EA must obtain continuing professional education hours each year to maintain that license and keep updated on all the latest tax law changes. Enrolled Agents are admitted to practice before the Internal Revenue Service in all areas of administrative tax law.
Beware of firms that spend a bunch on money on tv ads and radio spots who may take on more clients than they can adequately represent or make promises they cannot keep. Caveat Emptor or buyer beware applies to tax professionals too!
