Don't Run From Your Income Tax Woes

Tax Expert Says Engaging the IRS Can Save You Money and Worry


HURST, TX--(Marketwire - April 8, 2009) - Running from the IRS is like the postman running from a big dog. You can run, but eventually it will catch up to you and bite you on the leg.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Michael Brewster, certified tax professional and author of the book "The Ultimate Straight Shooters Guide To Negotiating With The IRS To Resolve YOUR Tax Problems!", from Outskirts Press (www.stressfreetaxhelp.com), advocates being proactive about your tax problems.

"The more you run from the IRS, the worse it could be for you in the short term and the long term," he said. "The IRS CAN take your house, it CAN garnish your wages and it CAN make it impossible for you to maintain your standard of living. Dealing with them, however, can save you money and make your life a lot easier."

Learning what options are available to resolve a tax matter with the IRS is as critical as having a health plan or maintaining a steady job. It allows people to communicate with the necessary help to resolve their tax matter, Brewster said.

"To deal with the IRS, the taxpayer must have an understanding of what options are available," he said. "If they do not have this understanding and/or seek the necessary help, they will pay more than they need, not to mention the stress they will endure."

Brewster also believes that now is a vital time to address this issue, because the government is going into overdrive to collect money owed by tax dodgers.

"The economy is down," Brewster said. "People are losing jobs. They do not have the funds available to pay off back taxes owed. However, the government is in bail-out mode, and needs to borrow trillions to offset those costs. In addition, Congress is passing massive tax cuts, so the IRS is trying to collect back taxes from citizens at record speed to help offset the country's current expenses."
