I am making installment agreements on 2012, and 2013 taxes and will have tax obligation for 2011, should I get an attorney? I have paid to my obligation thus far and no levy’s or garnishments have occurred. Can I work personally with the IRS to get a modified balloon payment for all taxes including any 2011 owed? Or will I get the enormous penalties like I am now? On average, considering my situation, what is the cost for an attorney to handle something like this, along with doing my taxes for 2011? Thanks so much for your help!
Generally speaking, an attorney is much more likely to get an abatement of some or all of the penalties. However, you can certainly do an installment agreement without an attorney.
