Debt Relief & Management

Archive for July, 2009

Dave Ramsey, a well-known talk show host, is brilliant when it comes to managing spending, debt, and real estate. I recommend his books in my books and frequently hand out his DVD’s on budgeting and cash flow management. However, when it comes to understanding investments and portfolio withdrawal rates, Dave could use a little education.

The Offer in Compromise program was established to grant tax debt relief to to people who cannot pay their taxes. An Offer in Compromise is not always the best option. It is important to determine if the tax debt liability can be avoided at the audit, appeal, or tax court level. Additionally, there may be ways to avoid collection of taxes that re bettern than the offer in compromise, such as bankruptcy or waiting out he collection statute of limitations.

Late night television is full of people advertising services that promise to settle your tax debt for “pennies on the dollar.” These services are generally not attorneys, and are basically Offers in Compromise mills. They fill out the forms, regardless of the clients’ individual situation, and make an offer. These offers are often not accepted by the IRS. The IRS has even gone so far as to release a consumer alert advising taxpayers to beware of these “pennies on the dollar” claims.

If you think you may qualify for the Offer in Compromise program because doubts about the tax liability, doubts about their ability to pay the tax debt, or undue hardship involved in paying the tax debt, it is best to have an experienced and knowledgeable tax attorney help you present your arguments. The vast majority of offer in compromise filings are rejected by the IRS and the chances of a successful petition are much better with an qualified Offer in Compromise attorney on your side.

With health care costs escalating at rates that dramatically exceed wage growth and inflation, future health care spending poses a significant challenge for the Federal budget, for employers, and for families. Health care spending in the United States doubled between 1996 and 2006, and is expected to double again in the next decade. Policymakers and political candidates of all philosophical stripes have offered dramatically different strategies for controlling health care spending. These approaches range from placing the locus of health care spending decisions – and risk for health care costs – with individuals and families, to making long-term investments in prevention, better information and better health care quality that will be best realized if all Americans have health care coverage.
