JK Harris helps Massachusetts man out of dire situation with IRS

    /24-7PressRelease/ - NORTH CHARLESTON, SC, April 20, 2008 - The Offer in Compromise program through the IRS really can work wonders. Just ask Paul D'Angelo of Pittsfield, MA.

D'Angelo owed the IRS $147,863. But, with some help from JK Harris and Company, LLC, the self-employed carpenter settled his debt with the IRS with an Offer in Compromise in the amount of $3,754. The nation's largest tax resolution firm helped him save $144,109, and helped him get back into compliance with his Estimated Tax Payments.

An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between the IRS and the taxpayer that allows the taxpayer's delinquent tax debt to be compromised for less than the amount owed. The offered dollar amount is based on the taxpayers net worth plus their future income potential, in other words, what the client is actually able to pay.

"I truly was unable to pay the IRS what they thought I owed them," D'Angelo said. "As soon as I signed with JKH, I felt a sense of relief as I was guided through the process.

"One thing comes to mind during the whole process," D'Angelo added. "JKH called for some additional information, and I mentioned how the IRS had taken all the money from my bank accounts...Well about a week later, I got some good news from the bank stating that the money had been redeposited in my accounts. I hadn't even asked my case worker to address this problem."

JK Harris did address the bank levy and successfully negotiated to get the levy released, thus the money was redesposited back into D'Angelo's account.

But that's not all. After D'Angelo's initial Offer in Compromise was rejected by the IRS, JK Harris appealed the decision by giving the IRS even more proof that D'Angelo could not pay the entire amount he owed. And JK Harris and D'Angelo won the appeal.

"That one deed just about sums up my experience with JKH," D'Angelo said. "They were as pleasant as can be, considering the dire consequences. I could have suffered without their services."
