New Canaan, Connecticut [New Haven-Meriden] (PRWEB) February 1, 2005 – Citizens Tax Relief (CTR), a New Canaan, Connecticut tax relief firm, announced they have opened an office in Los Angeles, California to serve the growing need for IRS tax debt settlement. The firm, led by specialized tax attorneys and financial experts, settles IRS tax debt for qualified individuals and businesses.
“With the increase in inquiries for tax relief information on the West Coast, we felt it was important to have a presence there,” said Terry O’Rourke, CTR President.
There are a number of tax relief programs offered by the IRS today that can help a taxpayer get a fresh start. However, most taxpayers are not aware of their rights, according to O’Rourke. “It’s important for tax attorneys to determine if the taxpayer will qualify for tax relief and to quickly implement a tax resolution strategy. In many cases, we can reduce their tax liability sometimes by as much as 90% saving them tens of thousands of dollars. But there is a tremendous amount of information about tax law that requires qualified tax attorneys and tax specialists to analyze.”
To make the determination, CTR provides tax attorneys, enrolled agents and CPA’s who evaluate the taxpayer’s problem and provide in-depth analysis of the liability and potential resolution. CTR tax attorneys take the time to explain all options and remedies to the taxpayer regarding tax law and their rights under the law. CTR tax attorney services include removal of wage garnishments, IRS bank liens, stopping IRS property seizures, subordinate IRS property liens, innocent spouse’s relief, and preparing delinquent tax returns – even when records have been lost.
CTR tax attorneys can remove penalties and interest for late filers who meet IRS criteria. A tax attorney can also arrange manageable installment agreements.
Small businesses, which have been a growing segment in an otherwise weak economy, account for a significant portion of tax relief business for tax attorneys due to payroll tax misunderstandings. “Penalties can be severe and excessive,” said O’Rourke. “Small businesses often make the mistake of paying bills rather than payroll, and they don’t realize that management personnel can be held personally responsible for payroll taxes even after a company has been shut down.” CTR provides a tax attorney hotline for small businesses to obtain needed information.
Citizens Tax Relief has helped thousands of people find tax relief and remove the fear and stigma that can come with owing money to the government. Citizens or small business owners can visit the CTR website at www.CitizensTaxRelief.com for information to help them through the maze of tax laws or for a quick, free determination of whether they qualify for tax relief.
