Isn’t being cheap how you got into financial trouble to begin with??? If you paid the IRS what you owed them to begin with, you would have have to worry about this.
Sure but the most they might waive is penalties The tax and interest remain.
Try it yourself
You can do it yourself, no need for an attorney.
Here is the form you fill out http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f656.pdf
There are three basic reasons the IRS “might” agree to a compromise and those are detailed here http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=104593,00.html
You can file it yourself, but it isn’t an easy thing to do.
Yuck! You have been quoted about three times what I charge my clients for the same service but then I don’t spend 2/3 of the money coming in on TV ads.
You can do it yourself but it is often like doing your own car repairs or brain surgery on yourself. If you don’t know what you are doing, you are going to mess things up. Some of the correct answers on the IRS forms are not the same as you might think.
