The United States Congress first collected income taxes in 1862 in order to help finance the Civil War. Although the war ended in 1865, Congress never revoked the income tax laws and amended them into the Constitution a few years before World War I. In the years since then, income tax laws have become increasingly complex due to the proliferation of complex failure to pay penalties and doubt as to collectibility (or DATC) provisions which prevent taxpayers from fully paying their bills, thus keeping millions of distressed taxpayers mired in debt. Exacerbating their frustration, Irs garnishment provisions permit employers to withhold income from embittered employees who quite naturally want the IRS to stop wage garnishment. Taxpayers who desperately need back tax help and tax penalty abatement are especially frustrated by changes to the Offer in Compromise program which took effect on July 15, 2006. The program now requires taxpayers to pay a twenty percent, nonrefundable payment plus $150 in order to be considered eligible for back tax help. Many either cannot pay these high fees or receive inadequate service.

Taxpayers seeking back tax help and tax debt relief should know about the Offer in Compromise Stop Wage Garnishment Tax Lien Help Community Tax Relief, which was created by experienced attorneys and bankers who want to offer affordable back tax help and tax lien help to clients who cannot or will not pay high upfront fees charged by competitors. They want to offer IRS debt relief and tax relief help to underprivileged taxpayers and taxpayers who are routinely rejected by these competitors. This back tax help program is part of a larger effort to modify the Tax Penalties and Interest Prevent Levy and Seizure Negotiate Payroll Taxes IRS Audit Defense 2011 Tax Extension Income Tax Preparation.
