Back Taxes: What to do when the funds are low
In this article I will discuss three ways to pay Back Taxes even when your funds are low. It is my hope that these methods will help anyone reading this information to overcome their back tax issues even when they do not have the money that they think they need to do so. Back Taxes are a lot like quicksand in that it is so easy to get into them but a lot harder to get out of. That being said the ways people get themselves into tax trouble are many, but the focus of this article will be the few ways to get out of the situation. The first point that I would like to make is that falling into the back taxes trap is not limited to any particular type of individual as just about anyone can find themselves knee deep in this type of debt for just about any reason at any time. The first way to pay your back taxes when your funds are low is to “face the music”. As hard as it may be for some to wrap their head around this it is never a good thing to ignore the calls from the IRS or letters because you do not have an immediate solution. The best way to look at it is that your debt is not going anywhere until you face it head on and ignoring it, which is how you got in trouble in the first place, will only feed the monster that your negligence has created in the first place. Conquer your fear and make the call or trip down to IRS office and who knows there just may be a payment arrangement waiting there for you that you can your monster into a harmless little kitty cat. The second way is to attack the penalties head on. What do I mean by this exactly? Well the penalties that are accessed in back taxes can in most cases be most the debt and by directly asking the IRS to eliminate some if not all of these penalties you could be directly lowering your tax debt. The last way to lower your back taxes even when you do not have the money is to recognize that the IRS will not hesitate not even for a second to hit you with a an automatic 25% increase penalty across the board for simply ignoring them. So just staring at the caller ID box when it reads “Internal Revenue Service” and not answering it could be the most expense mistake you have even made.
