You do not open your mail anymore.
There is no need to.
You already know what it is going to say: Please pay your taxes.
It has gotten out of hand and you are not sure how you are going to pay back the thousands of dollars that you owe.
It is just too much money.
It is probably time to start asking for a tax settlement.
Taxes are generally in proportion to how much money a person makes.
However, when taxes are not filled for multiple years, or money is not set aside to pay taxes instead of other expenses, tax liability can become quite daunting.
For many people with tax bills, it is impossible to pay.
A tax settlement is for people who are unable to pay what they owe in taxes all at one time.
It gives the opportunity to spread payments over a period of time.
It can also even lower the amount owed in some situations.
Obtaining a settlement is generally done through professionals experienced with negotiating them.
Many times a tax lawyer is the best person to deal with, but you can also get help from certified public accountants or even financial counseling firms.
They will use their knowledge of tax law and practices to work with the government on your behalf.
The tax professionals will work with the tax offices in one of two ways.
They will either get an agreed upon payment arrangement, or they will lower your bill.
Sometimes they can do both.
Lowering the bill, although ideal, is rather difficult to negotiate but it has been done in some cases.
Your outcome will depend on your tax obligation and your current financial situation.
Once a settlement is agreed upon, the responsibility is back on you.
In addition to paying at the new agreed upon terms, you also have to agree to file your taxes.
This means both previous and future taxes.
At this point, it is best to use a professional that can make sure you are not paying more than you need to.
With careful preparation you may actually get a refund.
Is is time for a tax settlement? Chances are, if you are hiding from your mail, it probably is.
The truth is however, only you know the answer to that question.
If the tax bills are too much for you to handle a settlement may be your way out.
