You have heard the ads on the radio or seen the commercials on TV. Typically, the have a tag line something like this: "If you owe more than $15,000 to the IRS..."
Have you ever wondered why the $15,000 qualification? It has nothing to do with the IRS. Many of these companies will not take your case unless the amount that you owe the IRS is of a sufficient size to justify a large fee.
The companies of which I speak spend more money on their sales operations, commissions, and front office than they do in actually performing the work of engaging the IRS. Sometimes the salesman (some call them a "tax representative") will exagerate the possible consequences so as to scare you into paying the fee. Sometimes a result is suggested that may not be realistic. In short, "selling" is going on.
To be fair, we also charge fees. However, we do not have commision sales people. We try to keep the overhead low and charge fees commensurate with the difficulty of the case, our education, training, and our negotiating skills. We don't exagerate and we don't over promise. We will "give it to you straight".
