Levy Release
December 13, 2005
Do not speak to the collection agents of IRS or State before you know your rights! Also do not sign up with a firm that can’t provide you with a clear plan on how to solve your problem.
It is understandable to be afraid when after receiving Levy notice. But don’t let fear be the driving force in deciding how to help solve the problem. The collection agents of IRS and State love it when the taxpayer who has just received the Levy notice calls, they can hear the fear in their voice and they know the taxpayer will tell them more than they should and agree to terms that are to their detriment. The tax collection agent doesn’t care about your financial problems or the reason why you have them! It is their job to collect from you and get onto the next taxpayer.
At the same time, “fast talking sales people from boiler room firms” will tell the caller what they want to hear as long as the agreement is signed and check has clears the bank and often the tax problem isn’t resolved.
Levies can be released quickly provided the taxpayer is in compliance with tax returns. What information is needed to get the Levy Released is dependent on the amount and type of tax liability. Most taxpayers tax liabilities can placed in an affordable Installment Agreement or in Non-Collectable status as a precursor to filing an Offer-In-Compromise. It is important that the taxpayer understand why a tax solution is being negotiated on their behalf and what is the up and downside of the solution.
A common trick by the “boiler room firms” is to file an Offer-In-Compromise or place a taxpayer in an Installment Agreement knowing the taxpayer will be either default or be rejected because the coming year tax liability. These firms do this in order to charge their client’s more for the same service down the road.
When you call us we will provide you a plan on how we will get the Levy Released and put into motion a plan to resolve your tax liability that is in your best interest that is based upon your unique financial circumstances.

I can not express enough gratitude to their staff. I was hit with a tax levy on the very same day I was expecting my paycheck. Being a single mom it hit me like a ton of bricks. For a month I had worried and stressed, I try to resolve it by contacting the IRS only to find out I was in much worse shape with them then you could imagine. Ten years of back taxes, and a levy. Really it looked like there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
I was refered to Jeff and from the first phone call I could tell that his professionalism and quick response was just what I needed. He walked me throught the entire process and with in a short time all ten years were filed. This is a huge releif, I had no saftey net if he couldn’t help. Thanks to their firm, I no longer have to look over my shoulder or wait for the other shoe to fall. No matter how devistated you feel, give them a call you’ll be surprised on how they can help.

I found Jeff and his agency through the phone book (very lucky me). After I spoke with Jeff I knew that he was someone that we could trust.
If it hadn’t been for Jeff and Ai Ling, I don’t know where we would be or how we would have ended up. We had to deal with the IRS and the State. Jeff and Ai Ling were able to take a very complicated tax levy and a outrageously high wage garnishment and make it liveable and still satisfy the tax agencies. Not only did they work for us and for our benifit, they explained every step of the way so that we could understand and remain informed. Jeff and Ai Ling went the “etxra mile” for us.
Not only did we find Jeff and Ai Ling professional, we also found them to be very much in touch with how felt and what we were going through and they truly cared. Thanks to the both of them our tax issues are now corrected. I feel that with out their help and expertise we would lost everything. They helped set up a payment plan with the tax agencies, no more garnishments, levys or letters. Jeff and Ai Ling will always be there to help, no matter what.
Sincerely…… Bernie & Toni - Washington

In 2001, I made a carreer change that also changed my tax filing status from a company employee (W-2) to an independant contractor (1099). This means that I was now responsible for saving part of my income in order to make quarterly payments to the IRS. Well, I was enjoying this new income that wasn’t being taxed (yet), and all along , I had every entention of making my tax obligations. It just seemed that something would always come up that I would rather spend the money on. “I will start next month,” I would say to myself, and “next month” never got here. This went on for about five years without a word from the IRS. Then, I finally decided to do something about it, and quickly learned that I was so far into deabt to the government that I might not ever recover (penalties and interest add up FAST!). I filed my returns and tried dealing with it on my own, but I was no match for my debtors. They wanted ALL of their money, RIGHT AWAY…..and if I didn’t have it, they were going to take everything I brought in until it was paid for.
Then I surfed the web to learn more about my rights, and in doing so, I came across numerous sites were companies claiming to have the solution. I responded to a few of them and soon found myself speaking to several “used car salesman” like personalities who were promising to reduce my liabilities to “PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR”. They immediately made me uncomfortable and I was quick to end the conversations (thank god). Then I got a call from Jeff, at IRS & State Tax relief Associates. I knew instantly that he was different from the ones previous. He answered only the questions that he could respond to honestly, saving the rest for when he was familiar with my case. I decided to move foward by obtaining his services and I know now it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I left it all up to him and his associates and they really came through. Not only did they get the levy lifted, but they negotiated a monthly installment plan that is easy for me to pay. It was honestly like a breath of fresh air. I can once again sleep through the night and focus on what it is that I do best, rather than constantly worrying about what might happen to me and my family.
If there is anyone in a similar situation, I would certainly give Jeff a call. These guys are professional, respectful, they follow up, they take pride in what they do, and best of all…..they care.
