If you haven’t paid your taxes or filed a tax return in recent years, the IRS may soon have more manpower to track you down and force you to pay.
The Biden administration recently advanced a bill that would increase the IRS’ budget by more than $80 million over the next 10 years. Proponents say the increase would allow the IRS to update its technology and hire more workers to sniff out tax dodgers, narrowing the tax gap and creating more revenue as a result.
When taxpayers fill out our Tax Relief Survey, they are able to see if they qualify for the IRS Fresh Start Program and begin their journey toward tax resolution in minutes.
“Make no mistake — many wealthy taxpayers and large corporations readily pay what they owe, but many do not,” IRS Commissioner Charles P. Rettig recently wrote in an opinion piece for the Washington Post. “We remain committed to ensuring that … no one feels safe cheating on their taxes.”
Your tax bill isn’t the only payment the IRS will be looking to collect. Depending on how long you’ve been noncompliant, you could owe thousands of dollars in fees and penalties, and the IRS could choose to seize your wages or even your property to generate the funds it is due.
But it’s not too late to take action before the taxman comes knocking. You could qualify for discounted payments through IRS programs like the Fresh Start Initiative. It’s free to find out and takes only a few minutes. Fill out this brief survey and you could potentially save thousands and avoid nasty IRS penalties.
