eric l green: Accountant's Guide to Resolving Payroll Tax Debts Released
- 05/09/20 12:18 PM
The Accountant's Guide to Resolving Payroll Tax Debts and Personal Liability was just released by TG Publishing! Payroll taxes are the number one reason why small businesses get into tax trouble. Why? Because payroll taxes are the easiest loan to take and the hardest to repay. Easy to take because there is no loan document to complete and no banker to refuse: just keep the tax money and spend it. They are the hardest loans to pay back because once the IRS applies the various penalties and interest the balance increases to the point the business cannot easily pay it back. In … (0 comments)
eric l green: New Haven, CT: How to Get an IRS Offer-in-Compromise Accepted
- 04/22/20 04:08 AM
Though I sit in New Haven, Connecticut most days we assist taxpayers all over the country to resolve their tax debts with the IRS.

What the Offer-in-Compromise program is effectively is calculating the amount of money the … (1 comments)
