Before You Agree to Anything With the IRS, Know What They’re Looking At

The letter in the junk drawer
Putting it away can feel easier than figuring out what it means.
That’s a real thing people do.
The letter is confusing. Calling the IRS feels intimidating. And when the business already needs every dollar coming in, it’s easy to think, “I’ll deal with it tomorrow.”
Then tomorrow turns into next week.
This workshop gives people a place to start. Gene will explain what the IRS is actually looking at, what the balance does and doesn’t tell you, and what to find out before making a move.
The questions people actually want answered
- 01
How bad is it, really?
A large balance can be serious. But the number alone doesn't tell the whole story. See what else can affect the situation.
- 02
What does the IRS think someone can pay?
Learn how the IRS looks at income, living expenses, assets, equity, and filing history.
- 03
Why doesn't the IRS budget match real life?
The IRS may look at household expenses differently from the person actually paying them. We'll explain why.
- 04
What can the IRS actually do?
Get a plain-English explanation of notices, liens, levies, and when each one matters. No worst-case hype.
- 05
What are the real options?
Understand the basics of full payment, payment plans, hardship status, and Offers in Compromise.
- 06
What if returns still need to be filed?
Learn why filing matters and what usually has to happen before certain options can be considered.
- 07
Can AI help?
AI can help organize letters and explain unfamiliar terms. It can't negotiate, represent someone, or decide which option is right.
- 08
What should happen first?
Leave with a short list of documents to gather and questions to ask before calling the IRS or agreeing to a payment.
The situations that bring people to this workshop
The business made money. The cash is gone.The money went back into inventory, equipment, payroll, or keeping the doors open. Then the tax bill arrived.
A good year was followed by a slow one.The income on the tax return no longer looks anything like the money coming in now.
One missed payment turned into several.Quarterly estimates or payroll deposits fell behind while everything else kept moving.
The letter is still sitting unopened.Not because it doesn't matter. Because it's hard to know what opening it will start.
There are returns that still need to be filed.Confusion and embarrassment can turn one late return into years of avoiding the problem.
Every company seems to promise a miracle.This workshop is about understanding what's realistic before trusting a sales pitch or agreeing to anything.
No judgment. No lectures. The point is to stop guessing and understand what the IRS is looking at.
The balance on the letter
It tells you what the IRS says is owed. It doesn’t tell you what happens next.
What the balance can tell you
- The amount the IRS says is owed
- Which tax years are involved
- What has been added in penalties and interest
- Whether the balance is still growing
What the balance can’t tell you
- What the IRS thinks someone can afford
- What a monthly payment might look like
- Whether hardship status could apply
- Whether a settlement is worth exploring
- What should happen first
That’s why reading the number and guessing isn’t enough. The rest depends on the facts behind the number.
