An individual and their business located in Rochester, New York hired Timberline Tax to negotiate a resolution on a $42,605 balance owed to the NY Department of Taxation. The Enrolled Agent assigned to the case immediately obtained a hold of enforced collection action upon submission of the Power of Attorney. He then completed a full financial analysis and determined the best collection resolution was an Offer in Compromise. The Enrolled Agent engaged in strenuous negotiations with the NY Department of Taxation, and it was proven that $20,000 was the most the NY Department of Taxation could expect to collect from the taxpayer. At the conclusion of the negotiations, the state agreed to accept the Offer in Compromise for $20,000, thus saving the taxpayer over $22,000.
