First, Get into Compliance; Second, Use Strong Argument for Client with Equity Issues

When Mr. Datray contacted Roni Lynn Deutch, A Professional Tax Corporation, he did not know anything about the severity of his and his wife’s IRS tax predicament. They had just received a Notice of Intent to Levy from the IRS, but did not know why. That is because they had not filed taxes since 1993.

“Luckily, by working with our office, Mr. Datray was instructed to immediately file all past due tax returns to come into compliance,” notes Christian Montgomery, the attorney who worked on their case. “That is because before the IRS will resolve a tax debt, the taxpayer must be fully compliant.”

After getting the Datrays into compliance, Mr. Montgomery began to address the unique equity issues that their case presented. Without a knowledgeable tax attorney, these issues may have resulted in the IRS demanding full payment of the IRS tax liability as opposed to being placed into Currently Not Collectible status.

“The Datrays’ case required detailed preparation and a strong argument to be made regarding their specific financial condition,” continued Mr. Montgomery. “Their case was unique because of the specific equity issues presented in his case. Although it appeared that they had equity they could use to pay down the IRS tax liability, in reality, the equity was already being used by them to supplement their income. The Datrays were living solely off Mr. Datray’s social security and pension that, standing alone, could not pay for all of their family’s basic living expenses.”

“Resolving the Datrays’ debts required precise knowledge of the collection techniques and procedures utilized by the IRS,” concluded Mr. Montgomery. “In the end, we were able to protect the Datrays and resolve their tax liability.”

“I have to say that I am more than pleased with the service we received from Roni Lynn Deutch, A Professional Tax Corporation,” claims Mr. Datray. “I was worried we were going to lose everything we owned but thanks to Roni Deutch our debt with the IRS was resolved.”

“Thank you for helping us with our tax problems,” continued Mr. Datray. “I have told a lot of people about this law firm. Words cannot express the appreciation we feel for you. All I can say is thank you and God bless you.”
