2023 - IRS Announcement

By
Education & Training with Strong & Hanni

Dear Taxpayer - Salt Lake City - Utah - This week the IRS has made two announcements.  One applies to all of us and the other applies to those who have IRS problems.  Here are the two announcements:

  1. The IRS announced that beginning on Monday, January 23, 2023, as the beginning of the nation's 2023 tax season when the agency will begin accepting and processing 2022 tax year returns.
  2. During the pandemic, the IRS introduced a pilot flexible installment program - here is part of the text: 

"During the pandemic, IRS piloted more flexible installment agreements to help taxpayers. Specifically, individuals and out of business sole proprietors who owe $250,000 or less can opt to establish a payment plan that satisfies the liability within the life of the Collection statute - with no financial statement required. This flexibility is available only when working with Campus Collection, and allows taxpayers to set their own monthly payment amount and resolve their tax debt in a timeframe that works for them, but within the statutory period. The key is to be proactive and resolve your tax balance early - before enforcement and/or assignment to the Field. A Notice of Federal Tax Lien determination is still required. After 2 years of piloting, we learned taxpayers and tax pros really liked this policy and the results have been favorable. So, we recently decided to make this new flexibility a permanent option. Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions making payment of taxes easier and helping us provide a better experience for America's taxpayers!"

Remember, 1 out of every 6 taxpayers has a tax problem.  Installment programs and penalty abatement are some of the solutions to a taxpayer's tax problems.  Tax problems are legal problems, and we solve both.  If you know someone who needs tax controversy help, please contact me.  My webpage is:  https://strongandhanni.com/attorneys/attorney-kent-brown/ , my email address is:  kbrown@strongandhanni.com or call at: (801) 532-7080.  We would love to help you.

Good luck.  Until the last three years I was in the same boat as you.  It is always easier to kick the can down the road.  I wish you the best.
