Some examples of recent cases illustrate how Paul Dougherty and the IRS Controversy professionals at
Amper can help you and your business when you have problems with the IRS:
- An individual taxpayer was assessed $2.5 million in income tax as a result of an IRS Examination. Met with IRS Appeals Office in Florida and settled the case for $80,000.
- An electrical contractor owed $1 million in payroll taxes, penalty and interest. The IRS Collection Division agreed to abate $350,000 in penalty and accepted $650,000 as payment in full.
- An individual taxpayer was assessed $900,000 in Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. Filed an Offer in Compromise and settled the case for $13,000.
- A manufacturing company was unable to refinance their existing bank debt because of IRS liens. We were able to obtain a subordination agreement from the IRS that allowed them to refinance their debt.
- The IRS obtained from a taxpayer an extension of time to collect tax. We were able to get District Counsel to withdraw the extension of time because it was obtained under duress, thereby not collecting any money from the taxpayer.
