As a former IRS agent I can tell you the public has no idea what the Internal Revenue Service will investigate when working a back tax case.

 

IRS has a format in a methodology they work depending on the dollar amount owed by the taxpayer, business corporation or entity.

Depending on the dollar amount the severity of the case in the history of the case IRS has a plethora of investigative tools they use to collect back taxes on any open collection case in their inventory.

 

As a former IRS agent I have used many of these tools. Make sure if you will back taxes and you’re given the opportunity to file a financial statement that you are true and accurate. If you have any issues call us today and we can represent you and provide the best possible tax defense on any IRS or state tax issue.

We can get IRS off your back and you will never speak to them.

The larger the dollar the more due diligence they will conduct.

Many times when IRS is working an offer in compromise you will find this type of list.

On smaller cases, you don’t have so many worries but if you’re  owing over $50,000, IRS can choose to review the following.

 

The Accuriant Search engine used by Law Enforcement.
