Client Owed: $95,000 for tax years 1996 through 2004
Situation: Client was a self-employed deep-sea fisherman and did not have the money to pay his Estimated Tax Payments.
JKH Resolution: Prepared Individual Federal Income Tax Returns to put client in compliance with IRS; client had no Monthly Disposable Income, but did have equity in a vehicle and a boat, so contracted for an Offer in Compromise.
Special Circumstances: Communication was a big key. JKH stayed in constant communication with the client and Offer Specialist for the IRS. The original Offer of $340 was declined. However, after seven phone calls in three months to the IRS Offer Specialist, a new Offer of $9,402 was negotiated. And just seven months after submission, the IRS accepted the Offer.

Saved Client: $85,598

Client Name & location: B.L. of Sterling, VA
Client Owed: $52,719
Situation: Client had dissipated assets and was not withholding enough taxes.
JKH Resolution: Client had no Monthly Disposable Income (MDI), no equity in real estate or vehicles, and had $10 cash on hand. Contracted for an Offer in Compromise.
Special Circumstances: Client submitted an OIC of $6,500 to the IRS on her own but it was rejected. Client was on an Installment Agreement but became unemployed and could no longer make the payments. Once, the OIC was submitted by JK Harris, the IRS’ Offer Examiner was relentless in requesting the same information over and over, and finally the client broke down and said she didn’t want to continue with the OIC. The Case Specialist explained to her she was in the final stages of the process and needed to continue. The client agreed.
Offer accepted: $10
Saved Client: $52,709
Client Comments: “After three years of trying to pay off my debt to the IRS it became clear that the combination of interest, late penalties and assorted other fees which were added to my balance on a monthly basis accumulated at such a rate that my payments would never settle claims made on me by the IRS. I contacted JK Harris in an effort to resolve the matter. The organization provided guidance, insight and support that reduced the amount claimed by the IRS and as a result has cleared my good name. I would recommend anyone experiencing similar difficulties with the IRS to contact the JK Harris team in order to eliminate the fear and anxiety created by the aggressiveness of the IRS.”

Client Name & location: S.M. from Lakewood, CO
Client Owed: $82,300
Situation: Client owned a sprinkler company and did not make his Estimated Tax Payments.
JKH Resolution: Client had no Monthly Disposable Income (MDI) and very little equity. Completed an Offer in Compromise.
Special Circumstances: Client was placed in Currently Non-Collectible status to have bank levy released prior to the Offer being submitted. Once the offer was sent to the IRS, it was initially rejected. However, JK Harris requested an appeal on the basis he did not have the funds and could not borrow the funds to pay the liability. The client provided loan rejection letters to the Appeals Officer showing he could not borrow the funds. The original Offer amount was then accepted.
Offer accepted: $9,760
Saved Client: $72,540
Client Comments: “They (JK Harris) were very professional and understanding. I was very pleased with the way they handled my account with the IRS. I recommend them very happily.”

Client Name & location: K.R. of Scottsdale, AZ
Client Owed: $69,000
Situation: Client did not have enough taxes taken out of his income and at one point, was not making Estimated Tax Payments as required when self-employed.
JKH Resolution: Client had no Monthly Disposable Income (MDI). Contracted for an Offer in Compromise.
Special Circumstances: The client’s initial OIC of $1,204 was denied. The IRS Offer Examiner had a difficult time calculating the client’s income because she was trying to include income from a job the client no longer worked at. After The OE’s manager reviewed the file and corrected the income, the client qualified for an OIC and an amended OIC was accepted.
Offer accepted: $1,843.16
Saved Client: $67,156.84
Client Comments: “Wow, what a relief. Before I asked JK Harris to help me with my tax problem I thought I would never be able to pay back the past due taxes. Working with JK Harris and my personal representative changed my life. I was paying $300 a month to the IRS and getting nowhere. In fact, during a five-year period I actually owed more money than when I started the IRS payment program. JK Harris reviewed my finances and worked very hard for me by phone, mail and e-mail to make sure the Offer in Compromise process was done timely and correctly. The fact is, JK Harris got the job done…This has given me the opportunity to clear my credit and raise my credit score…In conclusion, I would recommend JK Harris for any IRS tax problems.”

Client Name and Location: E.T. of Pomona, CA
Client Owed: $286,031.25
Situation: Client allowed an individual he did not know very well to use his name to start a used car business. This “acquaintance” did not pay taxes on the business for three years and our client received notice his wages would be garnished for back taxes owed.
JKH Resolution: JKH filed an Emergency Request Existing Levy Release and prepared a State of California Offer in Compromise.
Special Circumstances: Client feels his ability to communicate in English is not very good; he was very thankful to have a Spanish-speaking Case Specialist. JKH also had the original Revenue Officer in charge of the case removed for levying an account that was set up with the Client’s son’s financial aid for college.
Offer Accepted: $25,000
Saved Client: $261,031.25
Client Comments: “I am very thankful that the nightmare is over. Finally I can start a new life with my family. Thanks, JK Harris and Company.”
