Streamlined Installment Agreement for Client in California

Posted 8/14/2008 1:47:21 PM

Mr. and Mrs. Pangelinan were living off of very limited means when they became victims of aggressive IRS collections. Within a few weeks, the IRS had placed a levy on the Pangelinans’ retirement benefits, which was their only source of income. The IRS was taking so much from their accounts that they could barely afford basic living expenses.

“After the Pangelinans hired our law firm, it was clear that they would be great candidates for a Streamlined Installment Agreement,” noted Ryan Carrere, the attorney that worked on the Pangelinans’ case. “While a Streamlined Installment Agreement can be processed much faster then a standard Installment Agreement, it still requires some documentation. Fortunately, the Pangelinans were very cooperative and responsive to our legal staff, and supplied all the necessary documents so that we could begin work on their case.”

Because the Pangelinans were fully compliant with all of their tax return filing obligations and owed the IRS less than $25,000, Mr. Carrere was able to negotiate a Streamlined Installment Agreement that established an affordable payment plan for them to repay their tax debt.

“We were able to negotiate a release of all levies and establish a monthly payment plan of only $105 for the Pangelinans,” concludes Mr. Carrere. “The payment amount left our clients with ample flexibility to pay their living expenses and address their tax liability. Most importantly, we were able to conclude their case in less than 6 weeks, getting the IRS out of their life in the process.”

“I myself want to thank Roni Lynn Deutch, A Professional Tax Corporation for their help in solving this past due problem,” notes Mr. Pangelinan. “If anyone needs help with tax problems I would urge them to call you. Since the first day I contacted the law firm they have been very understanding and helpful with letters and phone calls. Again, thank you.”
