An investment – whether it be property or any other form of monetary vehicle - that relies on inflation for appreciation does not really increase wealth, it merely maintains purchasing power eroded by the declining value of a dollar.

December 14th, 2007 by admin

 

Unfortunately, believing, or hoping that the IRS will let go of so much as one red cent is like believing in the tooth fairy.  The bottom line is the IRS wants  money, and they will place a federal tax lien to achieve their goal.  It is also important to realize that the IRS won't go based on your personal life situation, they will use their own independent, and grossly exaggerated statistics when figuring out how much income they think you had.

This has the advantage of keeping them in a lower tax bracket than if they only accepted their tax attorney fees on completion of a case. Another strategy of the Tax Attorney is fees are invested, this enabling them to accept annual payments throughout the year.
