Stop the IRS' Aggressive Collections

   JG tax group is known nationwide for stopping IRS collection actions. The first thing we accomplish is contacting the IRS within 24 hours of any new client to determine what stage of collection the IRS is in. We then ask for an immediate hold of any further collection action until we can get the proper documentation or resolve the client's IRS situation. If the agent in charge of our client, being a field agent or automation collections agent is not willing to give us an extension, we immediately file an appeal that may be be a CDP or CAP Appeal. Either of these IRS appeals stop all collection actions against the tax payer for a period no less than 30 days, and up to 6 - 7 months. This gives our clients the ability to have breathing room to begin negotiations.

   There are two main methods used to appeal IRS collection action. This first is a CDP appeal and the second is a CAP appeal. A CDP Appeal must be filed within 30 days of a final notice of intent to levy. This allows a senior technical advisor within the IRS to review the case. This means it is being taken from the collection division of the IRS, who are far more aggressive concerning these matters. In most instances, you will receive much better results filing a CDP Appeal.

   If perhaps you have failed to file in a timely manner, you always have the right to file a CAP appeal, which is very rarely used in the IRS. Most IRS agents do not know what a CAP appeal actually is. Our company applies this tactic to the IRS a great deal.

   If the IRS has not actually filed a wage garnishment or levy against the taxpayer, we immediately file a CAP appeal. This takes the case out of the hands of the collection division immediately and puts it into a technical advisor's hands. This is very important because a technical advisor is someone who has been with the IRS for multiple years and will approach things in a more professional manner and truly follow the guidelines required. A CAP appeal also puts the brakes on an agent filing wage garnishments and levies against an individual's Social Security Income or payroll money. The crucial part of filing any of these appeals is that the taxpayer must be in full compliance with the IRS. Meaning that all tax returns are filed. Any tax returns that are not filed must be filed.

I hired JG Tax Group a few months ago to help me with $150K of back tax debt. My wife and I missed filing for 1 year, we got scared and it snowballed from there. We were wrong and are willing to pay our due and want to pay our debt. We have been contacted by a “Bull Dog” overly aggressive tax collector twice in person who was very abrasive and threatened to take my paychecks if I did not deal directly with her. Bottom line is that I notified JG Tax Group of this and they immediately flew into action to protect my wife and I from further harassment and have assured us that we and our paychecks are safe. They are in the process of negotiating a payback schedule for us with the IRS and they have won my vote of confidence. I realize that no matter what this is going to hurt, but the JG Tax Group is not going to let the IRS or this bully tax collector financially devastate us. I will leave additional posts in the future to let everyone know how this goes however so far, I would gladly recommend the JG Tax Group to anyone.
