A taxpayer living in Brooklyn, New York hired Timberline Tax Group to negotiate a reduction of her overall federal tax liability. The Enrolled Agent was able to negotiate a hold of enforced collection action on the grounds that the taxpayer did not believe the full liability should be owed and that an Innocent Spouse request was being filed. This hold allowed the Enrolled Agent to conduct additional research on the account and get the Innocent Spouse Relief submitted and then approved by the IRS. This negotiation saved the client $15,142.00, which is nearly 75% of the original tax amount owed.
