I have heard it said that it is better to owe money to God than to the IRS.  You can't get out of debt with the IRS.  You just have to pay off what you owe.  Bankruptcy cannot be decalred against them either.

Easiest way to avoid paying taxes is to make sure you put enough money into 401Ks (or retirement funds) and you donate to charities.  You realise bringing clothes to a donation site for helping of poor people is the same and you can use it as a tax write-off?  Look up a list of tax write-offs.\n\nHope you were looking for a serious answer!  Good luck ;)

Often, the best course is to simply call the IRS and put your cards on the table.  Believe it or not, they will help in many cases, as much as is possible.  Good luck.

One method for IRS to enforce collection for owed back tax is to put a levy on an individual's bank accounts. Generally, the IRS Collectors, also known as Revenue Officers would have sent you IRS notices, or making calls for payment due, or other methods to contact an individual for Tax payment. Either intentionally or unintentionally, if the notices are ignored, the IRS will initiate the collection enforcement. On of the process is the Bank Levy. By the time a levy is put on an individuals bank account the IRS is already in the latter part of the collection process.\n\nThe whole process starts when IRS sends notices to all financial institutions that you bank your money with. The IRS sends a notice of Levy to an individuals bank with the amount of back taxes owed. This notice requires the banking institution to freeze all funds in the account for 21 days from the day the levy was received. \n\nThus, the tax payer has 21 days to speak to IRS to release the funds. Once the 21 days are expired, the funds are sent to IRS with no hope of recovery.\n\nIS THERE A WAY TO STOP A BANK LEVY ?\n\nYes, the best method is to contact a qualified Tax Relief Service professionals who are familiar with the process. Perhaps a tax attorney, and they do not have to be in your state or city.

View the link that I have provided to the IRS.  \n\nIf you don't like this answer and no one gives an answer you are happy with, call 1-800-tax-1040 to talk to them at the IRS directly. They are usually very friendly, and the hold time is not to long.

The best way to get yourself out of a hole is to stop digging.\n\nDon't take on any new debts under any circumstances whatsoever. If you are able to consolidate your debts into a lower interest rate loan, it would be a good idea. Cut up your credit cards.\n\nIt is bad form to default on your debts - you took them on, you should pay them off. It will hurt, but it *should* hurt. It is the best way to ensure that you never go into debt again.\n\nYou can live on far less money than you think. Be creative. Take every last cent that you can to pay down your debt starting with the highest interest rates. If you want to treat yourself while you are doing this, try some treats that don't cost anything - sign out some DVD's from the library and be a couch potato for the entire weekend if you would like it.\n\nThe *single* best investment that you can make is to pay off your debts. Your credit card debt is racking up at almost 30% before taxes. You would have to get a rate of return on an investment that is about 50% per year to get the same return.\n\nSorry, no pain, no gain.\n\np.s. Been there, done that, will never be there again. I honestly wish you the best of luck.

You cannot get rid of tax, all you can do is reduce your tax liability within the legal framework of the Act, you can do that by taking advantage of many deductions available under the law with respect to certain expenses or when you invest in certain investments.\n\nFor those ways you will have to look in to the Act yourself or take help of a Income Tax expert or a CA.

Contact them as soon as possible to set up a payment plan.  Most government agencies are willing to work with you on that.  I've seen people pay as little as $20/month on debts owed to the government.  Depending on your situation, they may even take off any interest or late fees.  Just make sure you contact them before they start garnishing your wages.  You do NOT want that to happen...depending on the debt, they can take as much as 25% of your disposable income.  Good luck!

contact the IRS or Department of Revenue.  Request a Compromise and Release.  This will give you the power to work with the IRS and work out a payment arrangment to pay the past due taxes.  \n\nIf taxes are not paid, your bank accounts, savings, property (Home, car or any asset) can be attached with liens or seized but the IRS!!!

I retired from IRS Collection Division 2 yrs ago after working 28 yrs. You need to go/phone IRS and ask for paperwork to file an "Offer in Compromise" Anyone who owes taxes to IRS has a RIGHT to this. It is a way for people to settle their tax debt when they cannot fully pay it. The IRS is required to help you along in the process, you do NOT need to pay an att'y or accountant to help you. You offer what you can afford, as little as $1. If you feel the IRS person is not helping you, then you have a RIGHT to speak to their supervisor. If the offer becomes accepted the tax lien is removed. I urge you to take action now, do not delay in contacting IRS. Write down names & ph # of IRS employees you talk to and notes as to what they tell you. Good luck.

The Levy can not be removed. Now, you can contact the IRS directly and request to file an "Offer In Compromise". This form is to help resolve your back taxes and might help save your business, by offering to pay a portion of what is due and if accepted by the IRS, they will write off the remaining balance. You must keep your agreement with them; do not set amount higher than what you can pay them. When accepted, you must pay any current years taxes when due. Should you default, they will start the levy process over and you stand to lose more.  Bear in mind, that you will have to report any and all money obtained in your hands. They will verify everything. You are asking for them to relieve your debt thus, they will examine your entire financial. OFFER IN COMPROMISE is the solution.  If you need further info, contact me at my email address.  Good Luck - THIS IS THE ROUTE TO TAKE!!

I hope I understood your situation correctly.  If you owe the IRS back taxes, they will continue to intercept your refunds until the debt is paid, even if they are also garnishing wages or taking other enforcement actions.  Federal law requires the IRS to do this, so it is not negotiable.\n\nTo reduce the amount intercepted, you may want to reduce the amount you are having withheld from your pay.  (See your company's HR or payroll person for this; you may need to do a new W-4 for them.)  You want to try to strike a balance between overpaying (which causes a refund, which gets intercepted) and underpaying (which will cause you to owe income tax at the end of the year).\n\nIf you can enter into a voluntary agreement with the IRS, they should stop the garnishment.  However, they will continue intercepting refunds until everything has been paid.  I hope that helps you.  Good luck.

You need to file a 1040X with the correct(ed) forms.  You can download the forms or order them from IRS.gov .

The first step is to consult an accountant or enrolled agent in order to determine what you owe, including interest and penalties.  Then you need to choose a representative to deal with the IRS on your behalf, who may be your accountant or enrolled agent, or may be an attorney.  You should find someone who has experience representing clients in similar circumstances.\n\nYou should act quickly if the IRS has not contacted you yet, because you may be able to reduce your liability by coming forward voluntarily.
