TaxMasters, Inc. Helps Clients Obtain Exceptional Tax Savings

HOUSTON, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TaxMasters, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TAXS), the IRS tax relief company and a leading provider of tax representation services, today announced that through the Offer in Compromise program with the Internal Revenue Services, it has saved clients a total of $704,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

In the first quarter of 2010, TaxMasters clients owing over $770,000 in past due taxes and accrued penalties, submitted Offers in Compromise that were accepted by the IRS. The accepted offers resulted in TaxMasters clients paying less than 10 percent of the actual tax liabilities owed. Through its knowledgeable staff, TaxMasters was able to settle significant individual and small business tax debts through effective negotiations with the IRS. TaxMasters professionals walk each client through his or her individual case, acting as a liaison between the client and IRS personnel to find financially manageable tax resolutions.

"Many with IRS tax debt don't realize there are over 100 steps involved in completing an Offer in Compromise with the IRS," says Renee Miller, vice president of tax services at TaxMasters. "TaxMasters continues to have outstanding success getting clients back into compliance with the IRS, determining if they qualify for a settlement, and finally helping them effectively prepare and submit quality Offers in Compromise."

An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the government where the government accepts payments of less than the full tax debt in exchange for the taxpayer's promise to abide by tax laws for at least five years. According to the National Taxpayer Advocate 2009 Annual Report to Congress, lawmakers have repeatedly encouraged the IRS to "be flexible in finding ways to work with taxpayers who are sincerely trying to meet their obligations and remain in the tax system."

In conjunction with Offers in Compromise, TaxMasters provides clients with a suite of tax offerings and services, including tax preparation, strategic advocacy and client audits. Established in 2001, the company has represented its clients in various tax crises, focusing on helping clients regain compliance, re-enter the tax system, settle outstanding tax debts, as well as negotiate payment plans. With an increasing number of Americans facing tax debt, TaxMasters has grown exponentially over the last seven years, taking the IRS tax representation firm from six employees to over 300.
