asking the IRS how much you owe is like asking a dog if he wants steak

[lamargreene]

So what if i tried to file my taxes and they won't accept it

If Jade is not capable of answering a financial question, why is she on the show?

[BryceLynch]

America is quickly becoming exactly what we gained independence from all those years ago.

Dave refering to the IRS as the KGB was spot on

[funtechu]

Just one clarification, IRS debt is definitely NOT a higher interest rate than credit card debt. The IRS rate is defined as the federal short term rate plus 3%. So for example, right now it's about 8%

[musicman]

And one wonders why they should pay while others get relief .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Jade: "contact the IRS"
Dave: "Nope"
Jade: "something shady"
Dave: "Nope it's an OIC"

Dave is spot on with the Offer in Compromise. It is basically a liquidation plan for any assets you have. We all hate taxes, but they are a necessary evil. Play by the rules and you’ll be ok.

Thanks, Dave! I agree with most of what you said. Here are a few things i dont agree with: 1) Actually, there are instances where you can get tax debt thrown out via a discharge in bankruptcy. 2) And, you don't have to necessarily be a pauper to get an offer in compromise (OIC) approved.

The penalty for failure to file is double the penalty for failure to pay. You should always file your taxes even if you can't pay.

moral of the story people...DON'T F**** WITH THE IRS!!!

[Mr.Boring_Man]

This is why you proactively put money away quarterly and just make the payments. If you're using your tax money to operate the business, your business isn't successful. Or, your using the money for non-business related activities which means embezzlement or you're just purely irresponsible with money overall. Budget the money away proactively and if you made more than expected, you just pay the difference.

IRS:CI special agent here: unfortunately he’s spot on about every he said.

If Mafia, Yakuza, and Drug Cartel had a baby = IRS

[JonathanSorunke]

You know it bad when Dave Ramsey says that you should get INTO credit card debt to get out of IRS debt!

[lkjg]

Depending on the amount of taxes owed and the complexity of the tax return, you may want to consider an Enrolled Agent (EA). Both a CPA and an EA can do your taxes and represent you before the IRS. The difference is that a CPA is akin to a General Practitioner, whereas the EA is a Specialist. Taxes are all they do. Likewise, there are CPAs with a focus on taxes, so you need to do your homework.

I actually had a tax problem and was able to work directly with the IRS and negotiate a lower amount and a payment schedule.

[James_Hough]

On one side, I'd like everyone to have to write a check for taxes so how much they are paying hurts...on the other hand, I know that many, many people just wouldn't pay. Being a business owner, I pay quarterly estimated taxes....which has only deepened my hatred for the level of taxation.

They will have to pay a penalty for filing late
