The Challenge: Crushing Tax Debt and Mounting Stress

Dave and Selma’s retirement years were far from the peaceful escape they had envisioned. Decades ago, Dave had achieved remarkable success as an entrepreneur, running multiple lucrative businesses. But while generating revenue came naturally to him, bookkeeping and accounting were never his strong suits. Over time, financial oversight turned into an overwhelming tax burden.

Now in their golden years, the couple faced nearly $570,000 in combined IRS debt:

  • Dave owed nearly $300,000 in unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest.
  • Selma faced an additional $270,000, despite having no direct involvement in Dave’s businesses.

The situation worsened when Selma was diagnosed with a severe medical condition. The emotional and financial toll became unbearable. As their retirement savings dwindled, so did their hope for a debt-free future.

Frustrated and desperate for relief, Dave and Selma turned to the Law Office of Theresa Nguyen, PLLC for help.

Our Solution: A Comprehensive and Compassionate Legal Strategy

When Dave and Selma reached out to us, we knew their case would require more than just legal expertise—it needed a tailored strategy rooted in empathy and precision. Resolving their IRS debt demanded a thorough understanding of tax law and the intricacies of IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC) programs.

Our approach included:

  1. In-Depth Analysis:
    We began by conducting a comprehensive review of Dave and Selma’s financial history, tax records, and current assets. This allowed us to build a compelling case for why they deserved relief.

  2. Tailored Offer in Compromise Preparation:
    Using the IRS’s OIC program, we crafted an offer that balanced their financial hardship with a realistic repayment amount.

  3. Negotiation with the IRS:
    Negotiating with the IRS requires meticulous preparation and an understanding of their processes. We emphasized Dave and Selma’s financial struggles, Selma’s health condition, and their limited ability to pay.

  4. Clear Communication and Support:
    Throughout the process, we kept Dave and Selma informed, addressing their concerns and ensuring they felt supported every step of the way.

The Outcome: A New Beginning

After months of negotiations and meticulous documentation, the IRS accepted our Offer in Compromise for just under $16,000. This meant:

  • Over $550,000 of IRS debt was forgiven.
  • Dave and Selma could now focus on enjoying their retirement without the constant stress of looming financial obligations.

In addition to the significant monetary relief, Dave and Selma also regained their peace of mind. For the first time in years, they felt free to plan their future, prioritize Selma’s health, and cherish their time together without the shadow of financial worry.
