An individual residing in Southern California hired Timberline Tax to protect him from enforcement while negotiating a favorable resolution of his $124,477.29 tax debt. A hold of enforcement was put into place within the first few hours of representation which allowed the client to work with the Enrolled Agent to finalize his financial paperwork. Once this was completed and thoroughly reviewed with the Automated Collection System at the Internal Revenue Service, an Installment Agreement was negotiated for $1,596.00. This ensured continued protection from all collection action and allowed the Enrolled Agent to pursue an abatement of penalties that were assessed to the account.
