IRS Accepts Offer From Tulsa Taxpayer After Frequently Referring To Her As Mr. Thornton

Ms. Thornton of Tulsa, OK called our office after struggling to repay the IRS the debts she owed. Her situation with the IRS was confusing, and to make matters worse the IRS continually addressed letters to Ms. Thornton as “Mr.” Thorton. Fortunately, after our attorneys sorted through all of her financial documents they were able to put together an Offer in Compromise that was accepted by the IRS.

“Ms. Thornton’s case was a significant victory given her unique earning and living situation,” notes Christian Montgomery, the attorney who prepared Ms. Thornton’s Offer. “Her resolution required detailed explanation and expertise to convince the Internal Revenue Service to weigh the totality of the circumstances of her financial situation in her favor. Ms. Thornton was able to resolve her significant tax liabilities for an affordable sum, which she most likely would not have been able to do had she chosen to represent herself.”

“I was very happy with the outcome of my case,” claimed Ms. Thornton after learning her Offer was accepted. “I was pleased with the settlement of my case. Thank you very much!”

The debt settlement amount is not typical. Additionally, past successes cannot be an assurance of future successes because each case may be decided on its own merits.
