San Mateo, CA: The IRS recently updated the national standard amounts for many of the expenses households can use when submitting an Offer in Compromise.  It is important to know these amounts since they greatly affect the reasonable collection potential (RCP) of your offer. The National Standards are the amounts allowed by IRS for food, clothing and other items. You are allowed the total National Standard amounts for your family size and income level, without the IRS questioning the amount you actually spend. Note: Alaska and Hawaii have their own National Standards tables. The Local Standards are the amounts allowed for housing and utilities and transportation. The Local Standards are limited to the amounts you actually spend per month or the standard amounts, whichever is less. Natio...

Call to demand immediate payment using a specific payment method such as a pre-paid debit card, gift card, or wire transfer.  The IRS will first mail a bill (and probably SEVERAL LETTERS--some certified) to a taxpayer that owes money to the government.  It will not be a surprise phone as first contact.2.
